Point of view picture of me sitting in an airplane seat. I am in the exit row and there is no seat in front of me, giving me a lot of leg room.

Your boy did it again! Same picture but I'm wearing different pants because it's a different day and a different flight but I still have tons of leg room.

Just looking through my pictures from Mathfest, remembering all of the great experiences. Look how great it was!

Deal. Josh Hader is the best closer in baseball maybe ever, many people have heard me say this before just now, I'm always saying that about Josh Hader

(am I doing this right?)

As a delegate from the Blue Jays fandom, we thank you for cheering against the Yankees and would like to offer an embarrassing Kershaw loss as payment

Please stop talking about "levels of intelligence" I can't with this discourse, we don't need to engage with meaningless phrases from a marketing campaign for a company that manufactures its own problems to solve when we could just never speak of that man or his company again

Ok I played some board games with a math friend, the conference must have begun. If you see me at Mathfest, say hello!

And this isn't a new fear in students. But the option to off-load this exploration hasn't ever been as encouraged as it is by bad-faith tech execs

This kind of fear is all over our students. Instead of enjoying being in the kind of settings where they *can* explore topics they've never thought about and ways of thinking they've never tried, it's very easy for them to duck that college experience. But like, what's left after that?

Why am I getting an itch to totally rehaul my classes ~3 weeks before the first day of the semester?

Maybe they could trade Atkins for a high draft pick. Imagine landing someone like, say, Sonia Citron! Wow that'd be a great fit for the Chicago Sky who are definitely not buyers and probably weren't buyers during last year's off-season, right? Ha ha ha it sure is fun to be a fan of this team!

This was an almost unbearable task when it was my own new computer that I was excited about getting for myself. Feels like it would be even harder if it wasn't my own decision and my own device. Wishing you no unexpected issues and a supportive household!!

My fall release time just got put onto my official load documents and I almost cried seeing that I actually do get to teach only 10 credit hours. This is definitely indicative of a healthy work-life balance, I don't know what you mean, why would you think that?

Being a casual fan of a sport/team is great. I get to just get wrapped up in the propaganda and not worry about having critical thinking skills. And because sports are just silly there aren't real consequences for me!

Anyways, the MLB trade deadline is great, go Jays, yay for more starting pitching

We could be getting through the end of this season knowing that the core of Angel, Kamilla, Sonia, and Te-Hina are exciting to move forward with. Instead....

I don't get it at all. Like, I get why racists like to hate on her...it's the racism that they like!

But she's a Very Good player who has some areas to grow (like any player!!) in her second (!!!) year in the league on a very depressing team. What is there to talk about?

Imagine advertising your platform for OER materials and your pitch being "We have an AI bot that will 'fix' your book (without permission) by adding AI generated alt-text to images" and not seeing *any* problems with that. Imagine being excited about that, even!

Embarrassing, but not unexpected.
