Brian May is like if Kramer was actually successful at everything he tried.

@ChrysantheTan I know but I’m not on IG so will stay silent. We need to have a discussion/debate about this song and its predecessor.

This is a major national organization, representing 11,000 historians, telling us that #Ohio SB 83 is a threat to ALL public higher education

My two work modes:

1) This is amazing
2) I'm quitting everything

Yes, we want you to recruit the very best faculty in the country to work at a college with below median pay and in a state where the state legislature is trying to kill tenure. And your negativity isn’t helping!

RETURN OF THE JEDI was released 40 years ago today. The final entry in the original Star Wars trilogy, the making of story is as epic and spectacular as you might expect…

Congrats to Donald Trump on finally winning a majority of votes!

@StarWarsMusMin Not Miss Piggy for me, but mainly Grover. Especially in his first scene… “away put your weapon, I mean you no harm” and “found someone you have, I would say”

An early, severe flu surge in the United States, together with increased spread of Covid, could put a damper on the holiday season. To mask or not to mask? Here's what to consider in the days and weeks ahead. 1/thread

[A novel virus appears]

Hmm this could be a problem

. It doesn't transmit human to human

It looks like it does

. It doesn't do it well

Uh, it looks like it does

. Well it definitely doesn't transmit asymptomatically because that would be a problem.

I think it does

Mainstream media need polls to provide a bullshit horse-race storyline.
Political campaigns need polls to shape how they’re going to lie about their opponents.
Voters don’t need polls. In fact, polls persuade some people not to vote.
Ignore the damn polls. Vote.

A California bakery spent a month making a 6-foot recreation of Han Solo frozen in carbonite, made entirely of bread. The mother-and-daughter duo behind the creation called him "Pan Solo." https://t.co/bdm1sc1UQp

Two weeks ago, I had four precious 12-year-old girls, including my daughter, with me at the county fair. They were getting blue Icees and corndogs for the walk to the car and ride home. (1/21)

Yes, we oversold parking passes. Not everyone will need to park at the same time so what’s the problem. And, if you can’t find a spot, get to work earlier.

I found this creamer in our faculty fridge. It has been expired for almost 12 years now (!?). I don't think I can throw it away, since it definitely has tenure at this point
