Loads of fence lizards (anoles) getting some sun today on the morning walk.
Thanks! Interviews in a couple weeks!
I’m guessing the companies that passed those tariff charges along to their customers and who will now get refunded will not be passing along those refunds to their customers, nor will many lower their raised prices.
I know you will do great! I’m already planning to hire you for some coaching if I get a job offer.
I’m so sorry for your loss and glad he has some good last days.
And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas
AAUP-HARVARD, AAUP, & UAW WON THE HARVARD CASE!!!! storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Doing a deep dive in my citations in preparation for my upcoming interviews and discovering some of my papers have been cited in newspapers and international policy papers. 🤯
I was just thinking the same.
A reminder that "But what if people on YOUR side are on the Epstein list?" is a bullshit argument, EVERYONE who was raping children needs to get into the bin right now, that's the deal here and it ain't exactly complicated
It is delicious, and more tangy than the last batch that I more strictly followed the recipe on. Recipe here if interested:
Got some pretty cool stickers today from @ethankocak.com I think my son has already claimed them. He asked if they were from the Moistly Harmless author.
Crumb doesn’t look much different than the last time I baked this. It tastes good, but I wish it came out better.
Ooh, thank YOU very much! I didn’t know that was an option on my phone. I am in a one-party recording state, with a boss who likes to say things out loud that he doesn’t want on paper, so he can later say he “didn’t say that.” A quick and easy way to record is just the thing I needed.
Smelled like burning, so I temped them early. Good thing too, they were already at temp with 15 minutes to go. No cracks on bottom, so better proofing this time. Still feel very solid though.
We were passing by from our treehouse trip and only stopped to goggle, but ended up walking out with clothes for son and many inexpensive video games, and we were only there for a half hour. Next time, longer.
If you get the “more guns” to the right people, then yes, at least once.
My son went to space camp this past summer and very much enjoyed it. Huntsville wasn’t bad to visit, either. We did enjoy stopping at the unclaimed luggage store as well.
Buried 35 paragraphs in: "Violent crime in Chicago has dropped significantly in the first half of the year, according to official data released by the city. Shootings are down 37% and homicides have dropped by 32% compared to the first half of 2024, while total violent crime dropped by over 22%..."
Out of fridge, slashed, and into the oven, with a 2 hr wait to warm up in between in the hopes of getting something like a second proof. 🤞🏻
Good luck!!
Got full interviews next week, am prepping presentation now and meeting with inside colleague Thursday. Bring on the Employment Jelly!
Dresses with built-in necklaces and little short-sleeved jackets!
Next season of GBBO starts this Friday (in the US)!!! Something new to repeatedly watch while I’m cooking/baking!
Same. I was just 28, and could pass as a late teen. I bought the frumpiest Dress Barn teacher clothes I could fit and that seemed to do the trick.
Shaped and seeded and ready for a nice long overnight in the refrigerator. Will remove from fridge and allow to rise a bit more tomorrow before baking.
Someone took all day to rise, and still probably wasn’t fully proofed, but close enough. Now we’re pre-shaped and having a rest on the counter.

Everybody Hurts
Someone had a nice thread about how a gaping mouth is sometimes a sign of a recent stroke.
It only helps if you are not 1) determined to hate trans people more than you actually care about children’s safety 2) in the pocket of the NRA or politicians who are.
Some places still let you into tunnels and slides as an adult
Back on this again…
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Mine typically asks where the eggs on the side are.
It’s a holiday morning, so let’s have some pancakes.
Montreal bagels > New York bagels. I will not be taking questions at this time.
Dinner time!
Didn’t get very browned on top, but it smells good. Should have put some cheese in it as well.
Got some chile cornbread going in the oven to go with Sunday dinner.
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
I don’t use a regular fake email address, but I do send all my junk snail mail to the Munsters (1313 Mockingbird Lane).
Wow! That is very different than I’ve seen before. My husband’s family used to do the classic jello salads as a side dish, especially at Thanksgiving (I think). Not something I grew up with, but interesting.
Sunday dinner prep starting! I have loads of filming for my last-minute class, so it will be an easy crockpot recipe today. Crockpot chili with cornbread and salad and peach bars for dessert.
Woo hoo! I’ve successfully burrito-ed my duvet for the second time without any video assistance. You gotta celebrate the little things.
Wow! Is that version sweet? I think the only other sweet pasta dish I can think of is a kugel, which is baked.
Right, just finished my last book yesterday and this sounds like just the thing. Thanks for the recommendation!
I prefer to have my online asynchronous courses fully built-out before classes begin, but classes start this coming Tuesday and there’s no way I can get a whole course filmed in time. I’ll get the first quarter done, and then build as I go, I guess.
Have opened two of my online courses and am working on the third, which was assigned to me last week Tuesday. Still need to film a course walkthrough, syllabus walkthrough, and stats demonstration videos for each week.
Some days, all you really want is trashy (but tasty).
Peach bars done. We’ll see how they are later, after some cooling and fridge time.
Starting some peach cheesecake squares for gaming tonight
One of son’s summer camps does a family camp weekend at the end of summer where you can stay in (air conditioned) cabins and have summer camp fun like you were a kid again. Something good to look forward to at the end of the summer.
We tell our son it’s all physics.
Good luck!!!
I’m amazed they have all that energy after doggie daycare. Cocoa usually just finds a nice soft spot and sleeps the rest of the day after coming back.
My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."
I get to go to camp in a couple weeks and there will be a water slide into a lake!
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Send some of that cooler weather down south when you’re done with it please.
Unfortunately, besides a bit of relaxing and a gaming night with friends, mostly I’ll be prepping a course that was dumped on me at the last minute. At least I can do it from home!
There goes my latest build…
I am grateful that, through a combination of PTO and holiday, I will not have to step foot in my office until Thursday.
i think it would be bad if the republican president and the republican majorities in both chambers of congress failed to do their very basic duty to fund the government.
Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
Yes, that all looks very familiar
I get a four day weekend, but only because I burned a day of PTO.
There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.
Trump's use of red state National Guards in DC is really about viciously turning Americans against each other, about stoking hate and violence *among Americans.* JB Pritzker's response is so good because it lays *this* bare. Me and @brianbeutler.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1997...
Massive walkout at CDC, including senior leadership, in protest of RFK jr’s meddling with health standards.
One of my encyclopedia entries is listed here, so I guess I’m copyrighted. Now to see if it was one of the ones Anthropic stole.
Me: Ok, time to get to work putting together the Fall course that was dumped on me last night, since the semester starts on Tuesday. Also me: Ooh, today’s a great time to organize all my wax melts by seasonal smell!
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
Hehe, just in time for long pants weather. Oh well, perhaps I’ll invest in tights.
Oh my goodness, @stellagarp.bsky.social, I just changed pants and, um, does lyra eventually stop causing bruises? Because I look like someone took a cane to my backside, to the point that I probably shouldn’t wear some of my skirts or shorts in public for a while.
For followers who need a bit of eyebleach on National Dog Day…
Well, I mean, they now have both the cracker and the barrel.
GOOD NEWS! For the FIRST time ever, and after MORE THAN 30 YEARS of HIV vaccine clinical trials, researchers have developed a vaccine that has SUCCESSFULLY generated TIER 2 broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against HIV and BLOCKS viral infection in vaccinated PEOPLE.
"AI is just a tool" says tech mogul who is just a tool
This whole 🧵, but especially this part.
Yup. I just had a Kickstarter come a couple days ago that’s been just waiting to ship for a while. Glad it finally came through.
“The First Lady encourages children of all ages to embrace the virtues that drive her and the president: laziness, ignorance, abject bullshit, and stolen material. AKA the same virtues taught by artificial intelligence!”
My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com
Yes, I caught that one. Might take a screenshot of it to use as an example for my survey design class later.
Please send come cooler weather over here once you’re done with it. Signed, humid South Texas
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht
UPDATE: Lisa Cook says she's not going anywhere and Trump's bid to fire her is baseless. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
That’s awesome! Love the cowboy hat and scarf to wave around. Really adds to the style. I could also recognize some of those poses!
Oh, the forlornness is totally real. She’s convinced this time it’s gone for good, every time. I think she’s sharing that one brain cell with the orange cats sometimes.
*under, not u see
Oh, with one of the adults getting her treat out and giving it to her, therefore reinforcing her behavior. She does this on the regular. Sometimes she tosses it back u see the couch and whines some more, like babies playing elevator with toys off their high chair.
The forlornness of a dog who accidentally spit her treat out under the couch.
