Yes. Haven't seen one in CT for two weeks or so. Our tree swallows showed up early this year though

If you have plans to commit a crime in NE CT, tonight is the night to do it, as long as it's not in Storrs. Not my video, but I saw what appears to be every cop car in the state staged on or near the UConn campus. There were +12 cars at the Mansfield gym

Really a missed opportunity to give us a ballroom update.

There should be a statue next to it of Washington Irving embellishing & sanitizing history into propaganda.

Man who's about to turn 80 celebrates death of 81 year old.

F-glaciers.

same. I thought it died a decade ago.

Colin Jost should start giving briefings. It would be equally valuable.

I guess we will have to invade Venezuela again to install a WBC champion more to our liking.

Is he talking to Nixon's ghost?

WBC USA vs DR >>> Oscars

Of course, it will be the instructor class who will likely be squeezed out. TAs to grade? Just let the AI do it!

Pretty sure we could replace more than 50% of university administration with AI & no one would notice.

These morons are taking what could be lightly ribbing our friends to the north who have historically owned us in hockey & making it an unfunny policy justification. It's the Canadian Baconification of international relationships

What should members of Congress do tonight?

1. Don't attend.
2. If you do attend, walk out when Trump defends ICE, or when it's clear he's not going to apologize for the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, or when it's clear he's going to ignore the Epstein survivors.

Exactly

Not what everyone is latching onto, but isn't this a way to bypass barriers to let the companies LLM train on a large amount of data it might not otherwise have access to?

How the 51st state plan sound now, eh?

My friends and spouse made the mistake of suggesting that a recent viral workout video reminded them of an old SNL cartoon.

I don't know if it's as much fun as it used to be, but let's try it anyway.

SUCK IT CANADA!

USA! USA! USA!

please blur explicit images

It does seem the threshold for what counts as a good reason to miss a scheduled exam is much lower than it used to be (not always a bad thing). I took a 3 h freshman quantum physics final pretty damn sick. I got a B in the class, which was where I was going in. I was also 19. Couldn't do that now

I usually offer to re-weight other exams & that tends to filter out the students who're genuinely concerned about their ability to perform. Of course, doing almost everything as take-home/timed online knocks it down to begin with.

we should adopt the penalties for missing a gate in downhill competitions to chem exams. Miss a single question & you get a zero on the exam. Imagine the amount of grading time we'd save by starting each exam with a challenging question.

Why would I invest the time & mental energy into writing an NSF grant right now?

This is heartbreaking. This guy is in the conversation for best/most qualified UG I've had in 20 years. He should be able to have his pick. He wasn't even considering prestige, just places that had interesting science

Hey #ChemSky. I'm wondering what PhD applicants are experiencing this year. I have a student with essentially a 4.0, 3 years of research experience in my group, 1 summer (another pending) interning at Pfizer who currently has no offers. IMO this is complete nonsense. He's getting antsy.
