I would wear this daily if I were in the US. I want a "I like my hockey gay, sexy, and publicly funded" line of merch.

Maybe after throwing a few more billions at genAI we will have more solutions.

Should I actually do this: "Percocet, the drug that made Shane Hollander have the courage to ask Ilya Rozanov to come to his cottage, is a mixture of oxycodone and acetaminophen. Design a liquid-liquid extraction procedure to separate these two active compounds"

Yes! Love Kolter. When I first came across his posts I was doubtful but he has the tone and positionality that can reach people female-identifying activists cannot. Important allyship.

The 'prison' of toxic masculinity can keep men from seeking medical care. Canada wants to fix that | CBC Radio Researchers and health advocates say many men delay seeking care, even when symptoms appear β€” a trend the federal government says it hopes to reverse by developing a strategy focused on improving men’...

I have a lot of ~feelings~ about the Minister of Women and Gender Equality putting so many resources into Men's Health but I am seeing some pockets of greatness that feels encouraging.

Naming toxic masculinity as a problem, for one!

In Quebec it's a non negotiable to take two semesters of philosophy in CEGEP (the equivalent of grade 12/1st year). I still use some of that knowledge and I now teach chemistry at a university. I wish my students had to take more general education!

The volume of emails from my institution about how we should all be teaching with genAI is making me miss the era of high volume of emails about how we're broke and it's because we spend too much on salaries.

Almost like shutting down safe consumption sites and funneling money away from harm reduction and into abstinence grifting makes things less safe and increases harms. This is consistent with decades of data and was completely predictable.

Chem Stores was playing the olympics and I was missing having something to look at while walking down the hall. I requested bird cams so they've been alternating between the various @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social options. Next month we'll do the great Swedish moose migration.

I want to teach like David Lynch makes content. I want to spend so much time on something just for ~vibes~. I want to start a civil war section in my class because I'm mad at the direction from the administration. I want to be cringe. I want to experiment. I want to see my students in 25 years.

Rob Sheffield's theory that Paul McCartney's is the eldest Irish sister of the band re-endeared him to me. I forget if that was in Talking to Girls about Duran Duran or Love is a Mixtape?

You are making me think I should. I haven't spend much time thinking about the Beatles in a while. Mostly digging around the context of each song when Anthology book came out in 2000s made me hate John Lennon so much.

Dude as a Beatles stan, hating the ever living guts of John Lennon is like my sport. Ringo is absolutely an icon. He changed the handing for the vast majority of drummers, that's so impressive in itself.

Pete Martell does a hauntingly beautiful modern dance to the Main Theme after finding Laura wrapped in plastic taking us through the scenery before diving into a see-through percolator.

If someone is planning a Twin Peaks burlesque parody they need to do a number where BOB starts coming from the back of the couch, then strips reveal into JD Vance to romance the couch and also it's a critique on him being evil. Hire me for more art direction projects.
