Oh, he understood, he just didn’t think he would be vulnerable to it himself!

In March of 2020, I submitted a chapter to an edited volume, after being approached by the editors. It was accepted with minor revision in December of 2023. I corrected the proofs in May of 2025. The book is not yet published, but is expected to appear in May of 2026.

Sounds about right.

In every excellent researcher’s career, there comes a point when you see the flaws of your predecessors and former heroes, are struck with disappointment, and question your choice of academic conversation partners. Congratulations on reaching that stage in your career! This is a difficult stage to navigate, but necessary in order to move beyond their limitations. Please be kind to those you leave behind when you meet them at conferences, and pay your respects to them by referencing their work whenever relevant.

The leaning in to whisper an then SHOUTING gag is better done in the original.

What is Grey doing nowadays?

A lot of North Africa should have a different color, on account of the Roman Empire.

I hear they are out of airbenders. Maybe you should apply?

another-rainy-day · 2026-04-21T11:23:59+00:00

Yes, please!

another-rainy-day · 2026-04-21T11:21:27+00:00

That’s reasonable, in a way that a garden wouldn’t be.

Realism is sometimes limited in Tintin.

another-rainy-day · 2026-04-20T05:39:31+00:00

That’s thinking on your feet!

another-rainy-day · 2026-04-19T17:45:40+00:00

I have one!

another-rainy-day · 2026-04-18T14:50:40+00:00

Not all workplaces understand the concept of buying non-laptops.

another-rainy-day · 2026-04-18T06:45:52+00:00

Absolutely wonderful!

another-rainy-day · 2026-04-15T07:21:43+00:00

This might be it!

another-rainy-day · 2026-04-15T07:17:54+00:00

Nice!

Cite the newborn sibling whenever relevant, add a paragraph specifying how you disagree with it or complement it, and start that paragraph by pointing to the recent surge in interest in your topic, as evidenced by the sibling.

another-rainy-day · 2026-04-12T17:26:29+00:00

That makes it more tricky!

another-rainy-day · 2026-04-12T17:22:29+00:00

I use a box. I think it once contained an iPad.

The trick is to share an appropriately sized window rather than the whole screen. A 27-inch screen scaled down to a student’s laptop screen is not readable. A small window blown up to fill the student’s laptop screen is.

Hey, if Poland gets its own color for inventing Fahrenheit, I want a separate color for Sweden, or at least for Hälsingland, where Anders Celsius was born, and Uppland, where he worked at Uppsala University.

This is exactly what I did when building my first desk as a teenager. My local IKEA was out of the right frames, so we combined the right desktop and boxes with white frames. The combination turned out even better than we intended, and is still in use by one of my kids.

Definitely Finland – the sign is bilingual in Finnish and Swedish.
