Proverbs 18:2
A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,
but only in expressing his opinion

Is that the theme verse of social media?

[Jason Powell @ProfJPowell]

@thisisfoster Then “normal men” are wimps.

@andrechemist My physicist friend always observes Mole Day on the 24th. He teaches a lot of order-of-magnitude estimations, so the 23rd is the wrong day to him

[Jason Powell @ProfJPowell]

@evandeneykel @proftpowell I have some theories, but can’t share them as they may he triggering for some

[Jason Powell @ProfJPowell]

@evandeneykel Technically, I turned it into an email.

[Jason Powell @ProfJPowell]

@evandeneykel Un-canceling it would ruin things…

[Jason Powell @ProfJPowell]

@evandeneykel School meeting?

[Jason Powell @ProfJPowell]

I propose a resolution that requires all federal employees in the event of a shutdown due to lack of continuing funding to work as teachers in the most understaffed schools in their constituencies (for standard pay and benefits). This will help address several crises.

@evandeneykel I’m a fan of forgiving all debts every seven years. Too bad our banking structure and those that profit most from it would naturally be opposed…

[Jason Powell @ProfJPowell]

@evandeneykel Seriously, go play kickball or something

[Jason Powell @ProfJPowell]

@evandeneykel Great! That means we can plan another full day of meetings during the week preceding next semester, since you’re so productive!

@MiriamGClark Just pretend she is in every one of your classes as you begin each semester…

[Jason Powell @ProfJPowell]

Um, no. Not this year…

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

So excited about our college retreat next week. We’ll write on post-it notes, find common themes, and develop our goals for the college for the next year!

What's wrong with this picture?

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

Yes, it is a smug, entitled little generation. Oh. You meant the students and not our boomer faculty?

[Jason Powell @ProfJPowell]

@andrechemist Only recently have we had a college president who celebrates our chemical identity…

[Jason Powell @ProfJPowell]

@evandeneykel Please don’t. I want to read that book on the Magi and don’t want you to enjoy learning chemistry so much you don’t finish it…

In my 21st year at @ferrum_college, my daughter decides to be a freshman there. Class of 2025! @ Ferrum College https://t.co/QXd4cs6Y1u
