Dusted off and connected our old Wii. OMG it is so fun and nostalgic. I am cursing Nintendo for discontinuing this amazing platform (now over a decade ago).

Doing my mandatory emergency training. I love my coffee as much as anyone, but I think I might set down the mug in this situation. Or maybe it makes a better weapon than I realize?

Oh this is rich. Should we be expecting Trump to go after governor Abbott and take over the state with 1000s of ICE agents?

I once had a student who believed the Earth is flat. The mental gymnastics she had to do to maintain her belief were bonkers, but no one got hurt.

Breaking news: when people care about other people everyone is better off. MN is above average across the board, which is totally on brand for Lake Wobegon.

Some people spend years working on a treaty to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Others try to take over countries…? Irony doesn’t even begin to cover this narcissism.

I have never felt as much existential stress about humanity’s future (both on and off of Earth) as I do now. It’s like the emergency breaks on an elevator have all failed while greed and ignorance are accelerating us toward catastrophe.

Full quote includes the following 🙂:
“We, humans, as far as we know right now, are the only sentient beings in the cosmos. And this could change tomorrow. We could detect extraterrestrial life any day now.”
Full quote includes the following :)
“We could detect extraterrestrial life any day now. But as of right now, we are the only sentient beings in the universe that are capable of trying to understand the universe that we’re literally made of.”
Indeed - the quote above is not complete and out of context.

Decisions are being made now that will affect everyone on earth for generations to come. What is our role? What are the ethical frameworks?

I got a super fun surprise in the mail today! I’m so excited for this book to be introduced to the Chinese market, and I LOVE the cover. Now my Chinese DuoLingo training needs to catch up :).
