I don't know anything about shit about Nintendo, so seeing someone post this with excitement has me reeling. Awesome, dude. Rick is here. That's some shit my dad would say when a coworker came over for a BBQ

Some independent Irish bookshops you can support rather than Amazon. And most offer free postage in ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชtoo.

Researchers in Spain have developed a new intranasal COVID-19 vaccine that eliminates the virus in mice.

One dose gave 60% protection, but two intranasal doses achieved 100% protection with no detectable virus in nasal or lung tissue, suggesting sterilizing immunity.

Funny how some senators & TDs think signing the nomination papers of a candidate who wants to deny women & lgbti people their rights & derides climate justice is โ€˜democracyโ€™! That candidate also has the full throated support of the far right! Guess they have no idea what it means to be marginalised

I'm genuinely so nervous of releasing this video I could burst

I spent 1 week(?) learning all about Death Stranding 2's "Social Strand Service" which is how players connect to each other in the game

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

This is not the type of Milestone we want to be highlighting, but today marks 1,000 days that MetroLink has been stuck in the planning process

Itโ€™s time to start contacting your TDโ€™s!!

Demand answers from them and what the solutions will be!

This past semester was the most stressful of my academic career. I had 180 students and about half cheated at some point in the semester

They submit weekly reflections where the questions are opinion-based, graded only on effort, don't care about grammar

SO MANY students submitted ChatGPT essays

Star Trek The Original Series scene. A Gorn (a gorn!) is standing in the dessert trying to look menacing. I saw trying because it's a 1960's show with a small budget. Sort of looks like a teenage mutant ninja turtle from that movie in the 90s about adolescent mutant turtles but without the turtle shell and weapons and instead it's wearing a gold and ruby leotard. Face kind of looks like a komono dragon. Closed caption reads: [GRUNTS]
