I still call it iTunes but I'm 50

Aren't you a parody account? Because that has to be real

That’s one of my favorite moments ever, I’m a high school science teacher who has to think quickly on my feet for 8 hours a day with teenagers who can literally say or ask you anything at any time, that was simply a perfect response

Also physics! Don’t forget the physics people 😁

Big fan of your newsletter, I read it every week. Thanks for putting in so much effort to keep people informed!

I understand completely, I would not spend nearly $500 for this bike

My son's mountain bike needs new brake pads and I've never replaced those before so I looked up the Amazon order to find the model number and noticed that we bought his bike in August 2022 for $227.99 (before tax). I looked up the same bike now and it's $473.92 just three years later. Insane.

I remember seeing the term "airborne AIDS" from an epidemiologist on Twitter sometime in late 2020 when I had already gone back to teaching in person, and as a Gen Xer hearing about AIDS all the time that really struck me as something we should be more worried about

I saw it, I was just overreacting on Gord's behalf

How could you cut Wheat Kings??

Put it in reverse, Jer!

A screenshot from ChemQuiz.net shows the new pop-up periodic table feature, which displays all of the elements with their element numbers, symbols and masses as well as different colors for each category (metals, metalloids, nonmetals and unknowns)

Just added a new feature to most of the quizzes - pop-up periodic table! If your students happen to misplace their periodic table or you've activated tab-switch detection on an assignment, they can now use this instead. The pop-up calculator works alongside it, too! #chemed #iteachchem

Serious question, is your cat a Russian blue? Because ours does the exact same thing and we’ve never had another cat who’s done that

Why solar power is the only viable power source in the long run Not only is solar more than capable of supplying all the world’s energy, in the long term it is the only power source that won’t fry the planet

"0.3 per cent of the world’s land area – yes, just the land – would be needed to meet the current energy demand from solar alone, which is LESS THAN THE CURRENT LAND FOOTPRINT OF FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE."

Congrats! I got mine at CVS on Friday, all I had to do was check a box on their online form and it was never even mentioned at the appointment

Odo’s just a single translucent square block in a bucket

One of my students (I teach high school) complained a that he was playing something on Cool Math Games a few days ago and got an ad for the Department of Homeland Security telling him he should sign up to "Defend the Homeland"

I've been teaching in person while wearing a mask every single school day since being sent back in as an "essential worker" in September 2020 and it really isn't that hard, you get used to it and you don't get sick. Guy's not going to have a long career when that brain fog really kicks in

About this Florida vaccine story:

When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.

We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.

“Oh, they’d have died.”
