My wife sets 4 alarms to wake up. She only needs one and should be able to peacefully wake from the warm glowing anger of me staring at her in the darkness while trying to fall back asleep.

#ElectionDay day should start with every single source of entertainment suspended. No TV, movies, radio, concerts, sports, online games, YouTube etc. Just a pie chart saying nothing starts again until 75% of people vote. Like the purge except democracy instead of violence.

If anyone out there is interested, here's the "cheat sheet" that I've been using in all of my classes to teach students how to read academic articles without reading every word. This was given to me in grad school, and I've been using it with grad/undergrads ever since.

#studentloanforgiveness mimics a psyche test used to map brain networks used to perceive fair and unfair in decision making. The Ultimatum test shows people will reject/angered by free money if the person giving it retains substantially more. Should’ve run it by a psychologist!

If this world seems like it’s been a bit off for more than a few years now, it can be traced back to the fact we no longer have an Alan Rickman in it.

How can the #Pope be elected god’s representative on earth if he doesn’t even have the tiniest bit of magical power? Heal a sick bird, reverse shrinkflation, erase traumatic memories of systematic abuse… Reciting a staff written apology doesn’t feel like a deity is in the loop

Hello Per! (My grandfather’s name was also Per). The short answer is no. Not immediately. However, I am putting together a podcast series on the concept and application of what it means to be smart. Hopefully it’ll be entertaining if not hilarious:) new comedy album next year!

Air conditioning and ventilation are not “luxuries” for incarcerated people. Imagine being confined in a closet that’s built from baking hot concrete and doesn’t have any working windows or vents, all while the heat index in the room rises as high as 150 degrees. That’s torture.

Yay, limited internet for Canada today! Go outside! Call a friend on the phone! Or make a new friend in person! Listen to a full conversation! Jerk off to your partner! It’s the 90’s again, put on some Nirvana, feel the angst…

Stem cell. When I grow up I wanna be a neuron or a red blood cell, or a smooth muscle cell! It can’t decide, so keeps reproducing indecisive offspring. It becomes cancer. The moral? Know what you want before you get to the front of the line at Starbucks or we’ll all die.

As someone who freaking loved ‘All the presidents Lawyers’ this is welcome news to hear the team is back :)

I can’t eat breakfast or lunch as it immediately makes me fall asleep. I eat once a day at home so I can sleep after. Been like this all my adult life. Non stop unsolicited advice that it’s unhealthy and wrong. Now, it’s called intermittent fasting and will extend my life.

Happy my pets and I hate fireworks, but it’s not about us so I accept others must like sparkly light’s exploding, even though it makes me think your dumb, day!
