A young gay man looked at me very sincerely yesterday and said, with gleaming earnestness, "People your age still have so much to teach us," and I don't want to go into details, but if anyone has any experience with stuff like disposing of a body, please message me.
Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.
We're still not at a Japan-level of snacking, but there are some good baffling options in this post. Well done.

Just got out of a discussion class of @realnisaacson.bsky.social 's translation of The New Mr. Braggadocio. As always, it is a wonderfully wild and profoundly baffling story. The students loved it. And hated it. And didn't know what to do with it.
WaPo: “Biff Tannen’s constant bullying of George McFly is just good old fashioned horseplay. Hell, it builds character!”
WaPo: “GEORGE MCFLY MUST BE CHARGED WITH AGGRAVATED ASSAULT AND BIFF SHOULD SUE HIM!!”

The WaPo editorial board when Republicans gerrymander in Texas versus when Democrats gerrymander in Virginia.

Map of local temperature trends from GISTEMP from 1970-2025. It's warming faster over land than the ocean, more in the North than in the South, and most of all in the Arctic. Red covers the regions that have warmed more than 2ºC - which is basically all NH extratropical land areas. Sorry.
Happy Earth Day!
Beautiful!
I'm confused why he doesn't just lie.
Also, I've downloaded 21 other Adobe products for you. They are now hard-wired into your operating system. Upgrade now to get the functional version (don't worry - none of them are really that functional!). It's only $529.99 per month. We've also stopped using Windows Explorer because we hate you!

Ended up with this image for the ppt, so only one cat, but what a cat!
The German airline Lufthansa said it would cut 20,000 flights over the next six months to save jet fuel as the pressure builds on companies to address surging prices and declining supplies of energy caused by the war in Iran.
Why does my IME default to 喔 when I type 'wo?'
I does lead to fun sentences for CHN102, though.

The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!

55% of Americans want the House to impeach Trump. Among Independents, the number is 50%. The US has a Constitutional solution to our problems. The US has historically been a model democracy for the world. Let's act like it. @citizensimpeachment.com
