"I said no to the Super Bowl, you need me, I don't need you" - Jay-Z in 2018 (line from APESHIT) Jay-Z in 2026:

I'd dump (I know...) on this harder except The Big Dumper exists and does commercials and has bobbleheads and we're OK with that...but asking a woman to stand up to admire her ass feels very ick.

There are 19,483 cities in the United States. Port Huron is 19,179th on the list of cities I'd expect to see Nicki Minaj.

The means of (cheesecake) production must be returned to the people!

In the unlikely event I ever have *this* much trouble thinking of 3 things about my kids I at least am self-aware enough to not tell everyone just how little time I spend with my own kids.

It was a swing if you want it to be and he held up if you want that, there's no definition for a swing so there's zero way to be definitive about this

I remember when Applebee's opened in Bay City on Euclid Rd - it felt like we finally hit the big time with this fancy restaurant! In our own town!

Had this idea in lockdown, half-built it, forgot about it, remembered it again, though might as well finish it.

Actual Canadian interference 🇨🇦

The real answer is that teaching is improvisational jazz.

This is an especially good one. ☄️

I mean, there are a lot of bad Brotherhoods, but #NotAllBrotherhoods, amirite?

Quick question for my Spanish Physics people (esp. Mexican Spanish): What is the correct vocabulary for speed and velocity en español? Some of our EL teachers were discussing this but none have a physics background, so we want to make sure we're not way off. #iTeachPhysics

“USDOT said the ​regulation will reduce manufacturers' average cost per vehicle to comply by $1,289 but increase fuel costs by more than $1,600 over the ​life of the vehicles.” 🤌🤌🤌 www.reuters.com/business/aut...

I just spent 9 days in Iceland this July and it was sunny and warm for at least 7.5 of those days... But also I think Iceland would be amazing even if it only had miserable weather.

Pivot Interactives appears to be down this morning for us - are other people having similar issues or is this a local problem? #iTeachPhysics

The annual "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" lab practical is always a fun one. (Check the PJ day fit at the end. Idea via @meganhg.bsky.social) #iTeachPhysics

According to the metrics of this video I'm *extremely* trustworthy, but not quite reaching full brain utilization. (Probably at 50ish)

My two brains (oh no...wait...there's only one Brain in the picture...did I mess up this sharable quote chain 🥴)

I've been gone too long, but for good reason: fitting CASTLE into the opening weeks of 9th grade Physics. Students stumbled on this Q at the start of CASTLE Unit 2 (just as I was introducing the capacitor): why do the lights dim when there's a capacitor in the circuit? #iTeachPhysics 🎢

Ran across a new account posting a Tumble Buggy constant velocity lab you could buy on TpT. I commented, calling out the account for taking other people's work and selling it and mentioned Ts could find tons of free buggy labs with a quick search. Got blocked in 0.001s. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I read this whole thread in Skull Boy's voice. youtube.com/shorts/-dxIq...

Currently Reading @emilytesh.net's The Incandescent and she's either definitely taught middle/high school or had some very good advisors who have. app.thestorygraph.com/books/e6ba34...

Welp. Maybe we should ban private schools. That'd fix the voucher problem.

When people point out that my dogs won't eat my corpse but my cats will, I feel compelled to reply that this is A) resourceful and intelligent B) an ecological favor that teeters on upcycling, truly, and C) I'm dead I didn't need those eyes anyway.

Behold! Yet another book available for preorder! This one has an aroace protagonist, many oddities, and a Very Good Goat. Also kind of my tribute to McKinley’s Spindle’s End, which you should read while you’re waiting.

In Bay City, MI the Saginaw River is the obvious answer, but Culver Creek in Monitor Township is the little crick we'd XC ski on, hide in the culvert under the railroad tracks, and try to dam up with sticks in the spring.
