I think I'm done here, at least for a while. Find me IRL, I'd love to see you away from all the noise.

BREAKING: The Minas Tirith Post will not be making an endorsement in this year's contest between Aragorn son of Arathorn and the Dark Lord Sauron.

What the hell are we doing?

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

I see the MAGA weirdos are already attacking Tim Walz for suggesting that convicted felons should be allowed to vote

Surely that's pretty much the same as allowing them to run for President, isn't it ?

[Mike Hance @hance_mike]

Good thread.

"Institution" should also be interpreted broadly. Get money from a funding agency? Be ready to give back when your turn as a grant reviewer comes around. Part of a big collaboration? Make time for management roles so that others can thrive too.

[Chad Orzel @orzelc]

@zenahitz That is, I would agree that tenure protects the ability to "live the life of the mind," but we also need to recognize that that is an ENORMOUS privilege, and respond to that appropriately. Which sometimes requires compromising the life of the mind for the good of the institution.

What PIs mean when they reply to a 5 pages long email with a👍 emoji

[Mike Hance @hance_mike]

@eshaghoulian @naomigend This was what I was wondering. The pMSSM is used to simplify the MSSM, and is not uncontroversial in how it does that. A similar program for string theory, with so much more complexity, seems hard!

Hi there! 👋 Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum, here. To all of those calling for a change of candidacy in the Presidential Race, please note that the election administration community is going to have some serious issues with that. 🧵

Ok, I'm a Speech Pathologist. What you see here is not dementia, it is stuttering. The extended eye blinks are called secondary behaviors. Notice every time he does that he is dysfluent. At the end when he doesn't finish his thought & diverts to "Look", is called circumlocution.

Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist 69 that former presidents would be “liable to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law.” But what did he know? He was just a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean. . .

Happy to announce the ML for Fundamental Physics school this August at Berkeley Lab! Should be a fun program with lots of hands on tutorials 🤖

In person and virtual registration both open. No fee

Please forward to anyone you think might be interested

There are no marathons or sprints in a career, it is a Fartlek run. Pick a sustainable pace for the long term, and be ready to pick up the pace occasionally when the moment requires.

Times have been tough in this South Dakota town since they closed the old puppy shooting factory. So when Gov. Kristi Noem offered to lift their spirits with tales of meeting Kim Jong Un, they finally had something to cheer about. But now the woke mob wants to take that all away.

[Mike Hance @hance_mike]

We need this for physics too.

[Benjamin @bschne]

@ryancbriggs @Andrew___Baker fwiw there's an MIT course for CS students that covers make & GIT and *that* is called "the missing semester" 🤦‍♂️
