This is how things operate in shithole countries.

I've graded 45 midterm projects today and I'm getting a little crosseyed at this point. It might be time for a brief break before I tackle the 20 left to go.

Students go to the Penn State All-Sports Museum today for our week on critical issues in college sport. Last week, the museum said it was open 10–4. When my TA arrived today, they learned the museum closes at 2p today. Thank goodness I already had an alternative assignment for excused absences.

I know serious shit is going down, but damn do these two look like a couple of jackoffs.

I find that meeting with a motivated student to talk about their early draft of a paper really motivates me to want to work on my own research. Unfortunately, I should be grading rather than reading or writing right now.

Just came back from Lady's follow-up appointment. Her extracted molar healed up perfectly, as did the spots on her paws that they biopsies. Everything tested benign. NO MORE CONE!!!

We have no clue about the end result of chanting Kandarian spells from the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis to resurrect extinct species, but it can't be good at all.

A friendly reminder that you can't trust any statistic regurgitated by the Gray Lady unless you independently verify it yourself, because the newsroom has become as lazy and useless as editorial.

Is this what it means to be a real man? Wearing another man's bust on your lapel like he cucked you?

It’s amazing that things like cutting FDA funding are never framed as, “I think private companies should be able to profit from having you literally eat shit and you shouldn’t be able to do anything about it”

Every one of Jhonni's posts rn You are calling out something without offering a 37-point action plan to deal with that issue. You are just being performative. Jhonni is very smart. Here's a post to tell you that and nothing else.

I'm not a fan of the stomachache I'm fighting this morning. I feel hungry — but I also feel like I'm going to have a reversal of fortune if I try to eat anything. Going to step away from the computer and test my theory...

This week's Bahrain Grand Prix should be the first 2-stop dry race of the season. Nobody has 1-stopped at Sakhir in the first 3 years of the ground effects formula started in 2022. In the 3 years before that, only 8 of the 60 cars tried a 1-stop in Bahrain. Those 8 cars scored only 13 points total.

This story gets so much worse. The trans woman who she refused to fence only finished in 24th place. Stephanie, the forfeiter, also beat *multiple* cis men in a regional match just one week earlier! And conservatives just paid her $5k for her kneel. Why is nobody talking about this?

I'm ready to go back to blue-book essay exams, if that's what you mean.

Betar is a fascist terror organisation. It is attacking left wing Jews just like the 1930s.

Nothing is more revealing about the true intentions of the Oath Keepers and the 3 Percenters and all the other bullshit groups railing about tyranny than the fact that they're doing JACK SHIT right now.

If the past weeks of tariff bullshit have done anything valuable, it is to prove once and for all that economics is a pseudoscience and that the economy is based on nothing more than vibes.

It's not even 6:30 am and I've already been grading for a half hour. I haven't even had caffeine yet. What in the world is wrong with me?!
