A large cascade waterfall among yellow-ish lime stone rocks. Green trees are growing on the top of the cliff that the waterfall drops from. Green plants are seen in the foreground.

Another waterfall for your enjoyment.

🤔 Surpringly but also unsurprisingly specific. "Singaporeans are avoiding the U.S. more than other Asian travelers. Here’s why" https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/05/singaporeans-are-avoiding-the-us-more-than-other-asian-travelers-.html

Dear men: I cannot believe that this needs saying, but please do not approach me and engage me in conversation while not only *filming me* but also *live streaming me* without my knowledge or consent.

Good grief.

The Met Office is currently looking for people to suggest up to 5 names for storms...

It would be great if thousands all suggested the same 5 names (in alphabetical order as that's how storm names appear):

BigOil, BP, Equinor, Exxon, Shell.

Aw wat leuk! Zelf als kind vaak meegeweest, later als leiding weer heel veel lol beleefd aan deze sterrenkundekampen! Confronterend wel dat mijn "koters" (deelnemers toen ik leiding was) nu zelf leiding zijn […]

Back of a white van, belonging to a catering company called “Feastivities”. Their triangular logo looks remarkably similar to that of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence. Instead of the three As, however, this caterer’s logo contains a knife, fork, and spoon.

I guess I’m driving behind AAAI’s caterer.

I am yak shaving the shit out of this one task that I should've finished 6 weeks ago.

#AcademicLife #YakShaving #Productivity

An academic friend of mine calls August "the Sunday month" because the weekend isn't over, but it's winding down, and you've got to be ready for work in the morning
#profLife

A person standing on a sandy beach, facing away from the camera, toward an incoming wave twice as high as they are tall. It is captioned "academics on August 1st"

I'm thinking about the next couple weeks as the "pre-flight checklist" for the fall semester: all the things that have to happen for takeoff to be successful

A block waterfall in a wooded area. Pic is taken from the lower level and shows that the waterfall plunges into a shallow but wide creek with lots of rocks.

Thought y'all might appreciate a waterfall.

Panoramic view of Montreal, as seen from halfway up Mont Royal. Mix of modern and historical architecture, including tall buildings and a large stadium in the foreground. Green trees frame the image. Sky somewhat hazy, visibility not great. In the background is the St Lawrence River with Saint Helen island, featuring a tiny white lighthouse.

Close up of the island with the lighthouse.

Greetings from Mont Royal, with a view of the Île Sainte-Hélène Lighthouse @venite

@gnomon Thank you so much! I made sure to prioritise a visit to Trip de Bouffe, and their food was as good as I remember it! As my friend put it: "I didn't know it was possible to get some actual *food* in this city for just 15 bucks." They even played my favourite song as we sat down for lunch […]

Exit from a harbour, seen from that harbour, looking out to the lake. Exit has a small lighthouse on the left and the end of a rocky pier and maybe a very small lighthouse on the right? Both are white. The sky is overcast with soft clouds, and there are birds flying.

I’ve been nursing migraines all day and all that’s in the pantry is a can of Campbell’s tomato soup. Despite having studied Andy Warhol’s Campell’s soup artwork in school, I’ve never actually had any Campbell’s soup. This should be fun.

Gif of Sir Patrick Stewart as Cpt. Jean-Luc Picard, looking frustratred and screaming "There are four lights!"

For the last four days, we have an evening ritual about whether there are four or five lights in the back yard. I am team "five lights" and I think I am losing my sanity.

#StarTrek #ThereAreFourLights #ThereAreFiveLights #JeanLucPicard

@NickGates the left-most light is not working properly, so it’s a lot less bright than the others. It seems that the older your eyes are, the more likely you are to be on team Four, but the least likely you are to go out in the dark, walk to the back of the yard, and get that light to repair it […]
