Physicist-errant. Quite mad. Mostly honest. Vita brevis, vive magne.

@alachualibrary Hoopla's great--so glad you guys added that service!

@GaetenD People who say & do weird shit is the most beautifully bipartisan characteristic of American politicians & the people who vote for them. Half is probably an underestimate no matter the party or lack thereof.

@ViRAms Whoa, fascinating! I assume (perhaps incorrectly) you thought in Portuguese when you were a kid/younger adult? If so, when did that change and why? Uh, if you don’t mind sharing…

@GaetenD Midterms: Come for First Tuesday, be sure to bring a Thanksgiving side dish.

[MzPhyz @mzphyz]

@abqDean ...so much to be paranoid about, so little time...

[MzPhyz @mzphyz]

@abqDean One word: Plastics. #RepurposedMovieDialog

@abqDean @chrissteinplays If you enjoy the retro alien aesthetic, check out 'Jules'. Charming, and a suitably retro cast to go with...

@GaetenD @DustinGouker One word: Pickleball.

@GaetenD Once whiled away a science conference reception talking to researcher who’d spent summers scraping roadkill armadillos to investigate their sexual morphology. Didn’t know raccoons were also of interest…or that lawyers/recovered heroin addicts were among the interested.

[MzPhyz @mzphyz]

@abqDean Oooh, so cool! Also, sent me down an internet, *ahem* rabbit hole on bunny nests. Knew they were ad hoc, but dang, cottontails way more interesting than one might think. E.g., scentless whilst nesting?

[MzPhyz @mzphyz]

@abqDean Oops, misread, you saw it ages ago...sorry! Once almost stepped on a nighthawk nesting on the Lomas median more-or-less between the (then) physics dept & Golden Pride. Superb camouflage.

[MzPhyz @mzphyz]

@abqDean Typical cottontail nest--they're not burrowers. It's insane this even works for them (or all the birds & other creatures that do the same.) Otoh, she's been covering them in your front yard & they only just came to your sharper-than-normal photographer's eye?

[MzPhyz @mzphyz]

@GaetenD The original Anaconda occupies a special place in my heart thanks to Jon Voight's bravura snake snack resurrection performance. Weird human, interesting actor.

[MzPhyz @mzphyz]

@abqDean Also, REI. And Starbux.

@GaetenD ...living in a tiny Florida blue dot adds a whole 'nother degree of difficulty to the exercise.

[MzPhyz @mzphyz]

@GaetenD Sorting thru possibilities for a top 5 list is perhaps the most depressing thought experiment on the social media site formerly known as Twitter. 😳

@keendawg Good riddance to Notre Dame hate, too--originated in anti-Catholic/Irish sentiment ☘️. But no idea why anyone hates Yankees other than giving high-school drama clubs something to sing about 🤣. New Yorkers 🤷‍♂️...

[MzPhyz @mzphyz]

@keendawg Uh, not what it's about, at least among old guard--rooted in a hyper-local socioeconomic beef, rather than 'being good'. Weird it turned into national thing. Otoh, hey, look at confederate flag's spread. But no dog in fight, I'm from NM--and all in on love over hate!
