Try to explain pro wrestling’s staged class drama and underlying political economy in an age appropriate manner or let my kid enjoy “Foreign Object” by the Mountain Goats without the lecture…

Struck this morning by how the win wasn’t from the UC system itself pushing back—it was its worker power through *unions* and aligned groups like @aaup.org defending UC interests, even though admin itself wasn’t.
There’s some kind of lesson here

Amazing

I have not seen this but I’m going to go ahead and say that it’s different when I do it

Obviously not as good as the swimsuit spinner at the gym but it does take from sopping wet to manageably wet…

I bought a salad spinner to wring out my hand wash only clothes before drying them flat (essentially to replace the ‘blot water out by wrapping in a towel’ step which I always found sort of unpleasant)

Huge head on a cinnamon swirl body

An Air Canada flight right now

Hen baby

When something hits a level of ambient ubiquitousness, it is just like the gas at an autechre show…

It is hard to overstate the stress produced by the incoherence of academic institutions pumping generative AI when they want to play business and then leaving instructors to deal with the results when they want to play school

Stranger Things season 1 is, in retrospect, incredibly Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH coded

I think I’m a chronically itchy person and I think they’re fine (but I also think wool sweaters on skin are fine so you maybe shouldn’t trust me)

I don’t know but I think they help with lots of standing in the lecture hall

What 9 hours of lecturing a week does to a person is make them order and then sing the praises of compression socks lol

Mid thirties posting for a second I’m so sorry, I’m sorry, I am sooooo sorryyyy but hear me out: compression socks

what's up?

“Both” lol

Was it the non-chicken chicken nuggets wegman’s used to sell in the big bag (and then mysteriously stopped selling the big bag?)

Do you remember the ramen noodle frittata

I have burned so much food on that thing from years of impatience waiting for it to heat up

No, I did not treat the pan correctly and likely still don’t, according to someone too busy being a process authoritarian to contemplate the unbearable, unremarkable sum of life playing out on the surface areas of cast iron pans

The other day I used a cast iron pan and remembered that my mom bought it for me the summer before college, and I calculated that this was approximately half my life ago

Sistercat goals

Omg

Ummmmmm yes, same

Pippi superhumanly powerful and Karlsson can fly, but all of Emil’s appalling heists and his feats and follies all emerge from his normal child self, which is terrifying and enthralling

Lindgren’s Emil stories are way funnier than Pippi and Karlsson-on-the-roof, in my humble opinion

My question is why aren’t pomelos for sale at the closest store. Why aren’t they selling this fruit on the street corner.
