Great shot!

Go Pats!!

Accurate.

Close enough.

Apt pupil!

Very cool.

Great memories from 99. I made it to Mansfield, Albany, and Big Cypress. Cheesecake!

I encountered a urinal in New Zealand with a large photo of Trump lining the back wall.

Do you sort it out all by ear?

Oof. That’s where I would just want to hit the restart button and try again.

Approve.

He was crusty!

I took geomorphology from Roger Hooke here at UMaine. It was a tough class. But I was left with an indelible impression that humans were outpacing all other geomorphologic (and climatic) processes. Will never forget that.

My hope is that your students will leave your class feeling empowered.

Another collection of moments from film and television, shaped by the sound of Sigur Rós. Which was your favourite?

Don’t know why it took me so long, but I just discovered that @sigurros.com is on BlueSky!

A classic Far Side cartoon featuring two gorillas sitting next to each other on a limb. One gorilla is pulling a hair out of the fur of the other, and saying "Well, well - another blond hair....Conducting a little more "research" with the Jane Goodall tramp?"

RIP to the incomparable Jane Goodall, who embodied the best of humanity.

Her rich legacy included becoming friends with Gary Larson after he drew this cartoon. (She was delighted by it, even though many at the time thought it was terribly offensive to her.)

Best SB Halftime performance by far. Bring back left shark.

The GRFP announcement from NSF cuts out an entire cohort of 2nd year students from consideration, without warning. This is so deeply unfair that it warrants a formal protest from the scientific community. If someone wants to work with me to craft an open letter and solicit signatures, LMK.

I admit that I find it a bit depressing to leave the office in the dark. In any case, I would just prefer consistency either way. It is the time change that I dislike most.

Got to see George Carlin once and Steven Wright a couple of times. Laughing made me sore for days in each case.

We made the big leagues

Cover of ‘Good Things’ by Samine Nosrat. ‘Recipes and rituals to share with people you love’.

Listening to a great ‘Fresh Air’ w/ Terry Gross featuring an interview with Samine Nosrat about her new book “Good Things.”
I can’t wait to get this book.

“Recipes and rituals to share with people you love.”

(“Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat” was a game-changer for us!)

This is so depressing.

Signs Referencing Climate Change Along with Web Pages Removed from Acadia National Park The Bar Harbor Story is generously sponsored by The Witham Family Hotels Charitable Fund.

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.

I think we might have missed it.

Wow!
