For the curious, the text
(J'ay souvente fois envie
D'efforcer sans regarder où
Mais je ne peu onc en ma vie
Rompre une anguille au genou)
roughly translates into:
"Oftentimes I feel the need
To power through with my head down
But I can't for the life of me
Break an eel over my knee"

She was in this ancient Steelcase filing cabinet in my cube that I didn't have a key for this whole time!

"There may be a book on the shelf that doesn't speak to you. You move on and find something else."

For Banned Books Week, I spoke with Denver's new city librarian. We discussed video games as literacy, DPL's hiring freeze, and a unionization effort:
Denver’s new chief librarian on free speech, the city’s budget crisis and how to make adolescence easier
"It comes down to choice ... we should provide opportunities and offerings for everyone."

Scam alert: there's an IngramSpark impersonator at ingramsparkbookpublishers dot com. Part of a wave of publishing/ghostwriting scams from Pakistan that hijack authors looking to self-publish--they often "borrow" well-known publisher names but this one also "borrows" the real IngramSpark's logo
Screenshot of IngramSpark impersonator's contact form, with chat window where scammer sales rep "Travis Clark" claims that "We are Ingram Spark's hands-on services department. You will be able to find our information here: https://www.ingramsparkbookpublishers.com/

I love shitting on social media as much as the next guy, but Skype a Scientist was built directly from social media connections.

We've matched over 60,000 classrooms with scientists from it...

That's pretty great.

Today on the BBC Archive youtubes, I have mostly been watching THE GHOST HUNTERS from 1975.

Strange goings on, indeed. Benson Herbert is a one.

🚨PhD opportunity w/ @venditti.bsky.social and @watershedlab.bsky.social on sediment supply and transport in mountain watersheds in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. 🧪⚒️ Full ad: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jo09s...
The River Dynamics Laboratory at Simon Fraser University, in collaboration with WaterSHED lab at the University of Calgary (https://ucalgary.ca/labs/waterSHED), seeks a PhD student to work on sediment supply in mountain drainage basins in the Rocky Mountains. The candidate would develop and validate a morphodynamic model of changes in river channels caused by coarse sediment delivery by landslides. The candidate will join a large group of students and postdocs at Simon Fraser University and the University of Calgary with expertise in river geomorphology and natural hazards. The PhD candidate will: 1) Build a one-dimensional numerical model to predict channel evolution that is based on the Parker family of morphodynamic models 2) Collect topographic and sediment texture information to parametrize model in the field 3) Validate the model using channel profiles and newly acquired lidar 4) Experiment with the model to explore sediment removal and augmentation strategies Minimum qualifications include: 1) A Masters degree in Geology, Engineering, Environmental Science, or Physical Geography 2) Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills, and attention to detail 3) Experience with hydraulic and/or morphodynamic modelling.

"additional capacity, and a new idea."

our CEO Kyle Dreyfuss-Wells joined Ideastream's Sound of Ideas this AM to talk about our latest combined sewer "surge tunnel" project that could make overflows at Edgewater Beach a thing of the past.

Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District says proposal would fix combined-sewer overflow at Edgewater
We'll talk with the CEO of the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District about a new multi-million dollar project that aims to keep sewage off Edgewater Beach after heavy rains.

Fork Fight - Gator Days
Fork Fight - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 The founding members of the band Fork Fight are making an appearance on a late night talk show. Timmy Fowlon: It's the founding members of Fork Fight! Kyle and Kyle! Shirtless Kyle: YEAH! Kyle and Kyle walk out on stage. Kyle, as usual, is not wearing a shirt and the other Kyle, as usual, looks like he doesn't want to be there. He's wearing a shirt that promotes their new album "Spoon Scuffle". Panel 2 Kyle and Kyle take their seats and are ready for the interview. Timmy Fowlon jumps right into it. Timmy Fowlon: You formed your band in high school. How did you two become friends? Panel 3 Shirtless Kyle and Shirt Kyle give each other a meaningful glance. One of those glances that immediately transfers a lot of information between the two of them. A lot more information than is necessary in this moment. They'll be getting tacos after the interview is done. Panel 4 Shirtless Kyle and Shirt Kyle set the record straight. Kyle: We're not friends. Kyle: I hate this guy. Whether Kyle is referring to hating the other Kyle or the host is unclear.
