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!

[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." nyti.ms/3EHVqS0

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

I’m going to start writing my lab protocols like online recipes. “This immunohistochemistry always takes me back to crisp autumn days learning the technique in my grand-adviser’s lab…” for a few paragraphs before I list any reagents.

How all author ordering concerns should be settled. "The co-first authorship order was determined via the best of three rounds in Super Smash Bros."
