An image from the show Arrested Development sits above an image from a Trump press conference. Donald Trump is quoted to say airplanes cost $2. Lucille Bluth is quoting to say a banana cost $10, mocking the disconnect Trump has with the real world.

Donald Trump thinks airplane tickets cost $2.

The National Center for Education Statistics has canceled their data users conference scheduled for next week. The notification, loosely translated, says "sorry, but we got to go fight the Muskrats. BRB, hopefully." #edusky #data #education

Spent most of my day downloading publicly available federal education data I use regularly. You know, just in case it disappears. #edusky #bobsburgers

My 7-year-old can't believe that police don't go to law school. "Their whole job is the law that doesn't make sense." No shit kid, go to bed.

Coastal stroll with my pack: where work-life balance meets the Pacific. This Oregon sunset reminds me why I traded spreadsheets for sand (at least for today). #OregonCoast #Oregon #PNW #Dog #Sunset

Introducing my dog, Rosa.

Her favorite things are barking randomly, sleeping, eating, and being dramatic.

Wow. This app made it SO EASY to speak to my elected officials. Such a simple user interface - all I had to do was enter my zip code and I immediately accessed step-by-step guidance on who to contact, how to contact them, and how to voice my thoughts. Do it! You'll feel better. #politics #tech

Yup. Trump blaming 'DEI hires' for the DC plane crash is a masterclass in projection. He’s attacking efforts to create fair opportunities while ignoring his own history of hiring unqualified loyalists with zero merit. He and his admin are proof you don’t need competence to get the job.

Per an NIH source:

“Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

A cartoon depicting two parents sitting on a couch. The wife asks the husband "honey can you go see if the baby is sleeping?" The husband opens the bedroom door and the baby hollers "gender is a social construct!" The husband turns back to the wife and says "nah babe she woke af."

It's weird how a screen saver has imprinted itself on my brain. The nostalgia this image evokes is wild.

Has any email ever found anyone well?

A screenshot that says, "Whatever you think you can't do, just know that there is someone who is confidently doing it wrong right now. They have no plans at doing it better either and people are paying them to do it. Please believe in your own excellence as much as they believe in their mediocrity."
