We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

The corner post of a wrought iron fence. It's a totally normal fence except that the post is crowned with a lovely, somewhat abstract sculpture of a snail in its shell.

I must have walked by this fence hundreds of times but today I noticed that the posts are crowned with little snail sculptures of varying sizes and poses.

What an incredible thread.

M.I.T. to Offer Free Tuition to Families Earning Less Than $200,000 For students whose families earn less than $100,000 per year, the school will also other costs, including housing, dining, fees and an allowance for books and personal expenses.

MIT announced that it would eliminate tuition costs next fall for all undergraduate students whose families earn less than $200,000 per year — following a national movement to try to make higher education more accessible.

OK, I'm bringing out the big guns to test Bluesky engagement😀

Repost & follow to be in the draw!

One randomly selected person will get this signed (& dedicated) copy of the Locked Library special edition of THE BOOK THAT WOULDN'T BURN.

Today was a good day.

Read more books.

This week, while studying American Gothicism, I decided my students would read, annotate, and analyze Welcome to the Black Parade lyrics. Needless to say, this was a high point in my educational career so far.

HEADS UP!
My episode of PASSWORD with Jimmy Fallon was moved up to 4/16.

Devoured American Gods by @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com over the last three weeks. Easily, easily placed itself in my Top 5 Favorites list. So creative, intriguing, and thought-provoking. Highly recommend.

Heck of a day yesterday! My Secret Santa NAILED it, I had my favorite dinner, and got to see one of NJ’s best pop punk bands open for Midtown! The holidays are truly magical. 😄🎅🏻🎄

Also…

Do I want the Titans to win tonight? Yes.

Do I have Mostert and Tyreek on my fantasy team and need them to have a massive game? Also yes.

Conflicted. 😅🤷🏻‍♂️

Started American Gods (audiobook) by @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com this weekend. I’m hooked!

My wife thought these Beholders looked like “steam punk Mike Wazowskis”. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

Pokémon still brings me the most joy, second only to Ghostbusters.

That Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire trailer
😱😍🚫👻🥶

It’s Thursday. #TitanUp

Just a reminder see that the Cowboy Bebop: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door movie is a Halloween flick. 🎃

Loki is, by far, my favorite Marvel show. And I’m probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but last night’s episode was dreadfully slow, boring, and confusing.

There’s something about the Tick Tick BOOM movie soundtrack that yanks on my emotional heartstrings. Just incredible.

nearly every thing that's gone viral on Twitter over the past few days has been wrong

people reported dead who are actually alive

video game footage shared claiming to show real bombings

photos shared with the complete opposite context of what's actually depicted

Just sold a bunch of old video games, but I can never get rid of this one. Still wish I had my Pokemon Crystal though!

Making my first Bluesky post while drinking coffee, modifying my Ghostbusters HasLab proton pack, and blinding myself with my flash. Cheers!
