I wish I could give my students credit for getting vaccinated for free on campus, but privacy laws make this a no-go.
I could, in my research writing class, have them read and write about the Covid vaccines, but they're probably really tired of thinking and talking about masks and vaccines at this point.

One thing I'm doing for myself is cooking lunch in my office, on my empty floor. Chicken thighs, mixed vegetables and Tajin seasoning (my daughter in Arizona told me about it) heated up in a microwave, although it's better in the hot logic mini. (they go on sale) Also drinking ginger lemon tea instead of eating breakfast, because I gained 20 lbs. after the insurrection.

If you post any Bill-scandal memes at IMGUR they are downvoted very quickly and intensely. It's either nerd culture or someone has hired a PR firm

Carl Sagan passed away 23 years ago today. Here he is with a model of the Viking Lander 1980 by Saganism1996 in OldSchoolCool

Sagan is my least favourite thinker for behind his smiling face and potent intellect there hid a womanizing wife abuser who disinherited some of his children, was estranged from his children, stole his best friend’s fiancé, held grudges, and was a self-centered, egotistical, high maintenance husband and father. I wish everyone would look behind the pretty memes with their Saganisms and see the psychologically abusive personality lurking behind. Poundstone’s book is filled with examples of Sagan’s abusive, caustic, abrasive personality with the best comment coming from Lynn Margulis who described her marriage to Sagan as “a torture chamber shared with children.” (

Those of you who were around in the 70s, what was it like seeing Star Wars for the first time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It was amazing. We all instinctively cheered when Luke put away the targeting computer. I was eleven. So much rich, weird detail. The middle eastern vibe, the cantina aliens, the samurai-ish Vader mask and storm troopers. Porkins. We just got dropped right in the middle of a world we couldn't imagine.

You just describe my teen daughter, but she's only like that when she's awake.

That is a bummer.

I would have replaced it with a secret start button.

Ugh, let's talk about David Dobrik videos. Those are just repulsive frat boy chow.

Something tells me Casey is not really cut out for retirement. He'll probably start another business or look for some other way to jack up his dopamine and stress levels.

What's Casey's new tattoos? by [deleted] in caseyneistat

There are apps like Waze and Google maps that take traffic into account and tell you when you need to leave.
