I don't share the personal very often, but I'm proud of my guy and the work he puts in to help others be the best versions of themselves: "Behind the scenes, this ultimate Michigan Man helps Wolverines reach their potential" https://t.co/85PL8uqYFl

@tcshields I interpreted that as a Message From The Universe to take a break :)

Nothing like starting the workday discovering that you made a mistake two years ago in Endnote that changes things for a review team! Human error sucks, especially when I'm the human. (It'll be ok, I just look dumb)

[Whitney Townsend @bergney]

Me.

i wonder how many people grew up yelling DIKEMBEEE MUTOMBOOO in that announcer voice and blocking their friend's shot on a child-sized hoop and doing that no no no finger wag. that's like one of my fondest childhood memories

One of the great commercials, up there with "Terry Tate: Office Linebacker". I loved watching him play, he was one of my defensive/shot-blocking heroes when I was a young hooper. And he did so much good off the court.

[Scott Thomas (he / him / his) @OGScottieT]

RIP Dikembe Mutombo — legendary player, philanthropist, and star of the greatest commercial ever:

That feeling when you finally run/upload/send documentation on that search you've been testing and tweaking and testing and tweaking for way too long. Fly away, little RIS files! To Covidence you go!

@amylibrarian @GopherVBall Texas looked unstoppable vs Wisconsin; great win for the Gophs!

[Whitney Townsend @bergney]

@amylibrarian I've almost completely stopped doing manuscript peer reviews. I like doing them, but something had to give.

[Whitney Townsend @bergney]

listening to people try to pronounce "Mankato"... this might beat out the pronunciation of "Wayzata" in the first few episodes of Beverly Hills 90210

[Whitney Townsend @bergney]

@amylibrarian I should make this tonight to celebrate.

[Whitney Townsend @bergney]

@amylibrarian It's an amazing day on this app, lol

[Whitney Townsend @bergney]

Very true.

[Whitney Townsend @bergney]

Very true, we're not prepared. But the Minnesota tweets have been elite level today. Even managed to work the '91 Halloween Blizzard in (we can do that in any conversation)

[Maggie Koerth @maggiekb1]

Minnesota, as a state, cannot handle this level of drunk on attention. There’s gonna be a lot of people making bad choices at the Fair and I am so excited to watch.

@harpermurray4 Love you, lady; people who haven't been through it can't understand. It's hard to stumble, but you've got this and your people are here to support you ❤️

Important info this election season for anyone who isn't an AKA, but *especially* white women (like me)! "It's not a Tik Tok dance..."

[REKH @rekhilperts]

White friends, especially white women who did not have an undergraduate sorority experience:

In the coming months you’ll likely see a great deal of content about VP Harris’ sorority affiliation and the support from its members. We 🩷 it. Some info & tips for us: 🧵
