"Never ask for permission to do the right thing."

My #Digicol25 golden nugget so far, in reference to starting a user testing program when your school doesn't support one.

But applies to everything, really.

Israel-Iran live updates: Trump to address the nation after US bombs nuclear sites in Iran U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said a "very successful attack" on three nuclear sites in Iran had been carried out.

I very much care about our new undeclared war with Iran, but the Phillies-Mets game is nationally televised tonite and if Fox cuts away at 10pm so Trump can be all "we bombed them with our bombiest bombs" I'm gonna be pissed

With an hour of each other I was served up an ad on my Roku for Raymour & Flanigan promoting furniture at "PRE-TARRIFF PRICING!" and then an ad on Spotify offering discounts on ChatGPT Plus for college students through finals and graduation

I remain unimpressed by this timeline

Good thread from a prof at my UW alma mater explaining NIH overhead rates, what this move to cap them means for research universities (brought to you by Project 2025)

(plus my own reminder to myself that Trumpies can announce whatever they like but that doesn't make it real. At least not yet.)

Ooooo, yay!

They're also working on getting their e-books on Kindle, which is awesome

I was there! If you find the Smithsonian Castle on the right, then follow over to the large screen on the left, I was right there.

I wore jeans (bad choice) and by the end of the day they had frozen to my thighs before I managed to walk back to an open Metro station.

Best inauguration ever.

(exception: the 4 therapists who worked with my dad before Medicare kicked him out of hospital rehab despite those therapists saying his care was medically necessary.)

(everyone else-doctors, nurses, administrators, case workers-go see Jared at the Michaels frame counter for additional training.)

Was just treated more kindly and professionally by the guy at Michaels helping me get my poster framed than I have been by 90% of the people I've gone to for help after my dad suffered a stroke over the holidays.

Thank you, Jared from Michaels.

The NFL Christmas broadcast/streamer schedule has been a real Grinch!

For folks spending the holiday in hospitals or nursing homes, or anywhere where you don't have total control of the TV situation, it's just that extra little bit of happiness deprived.

I try to re-read the books between Thanksgiving and New Years and then rewatch the films in January, "when winter first begins to bite"

When do YOU reread or rewatch Lord of the Rings each year?

You could also try a ukulele to start, to see if he likes it and enjoys the practicing. Much cheaper for a nice one and less painful on small fingers. And you can cheat with the tuning and tune it as a guitar so if he moves over to one the chord shapes are the same.

Went to a 9am matinee of Wicked so that I could sit by myself in the dark for 3 hours while still being engaged in a socially acceptable activity

(And I accidentally bought a ticket for one of those 4DX seats that move and shake with the action on screen and my was that ridiculous)

Our little university account gained 200 followers this week, half of them in 24 hours last Friday and into Saturday. And it's looking like this November will be the first month in 16 years of negative follower growth over on Xwitter.

I don't know what that means, but I'm not mad at it.
