I'm really happy with this one -- I met Paul because he was volunteering at a student event and said he had to leave early to be in a dance battle and I said "hold up" and one thing led to another. Great @QueensEngineer student doing cool things in the community!
It is vanishingly unlikely that @beefanddairy has not seen this, but on the off chance.
one time in college a professor spent 90 minutes talking about an example scenario that involved beef and i thought nothing of it until several weeks later when i found out that my classmate had made a minute long compilation of all 125 times he said "beef" in one lecture
I feel like I'd enjoy vampire and zombie movies a lot more if they'd swap out the word "undead" for my preferred term, "schmalive".

When I see somebody taking a picture of somebody else on campus (and it's convocation at @queensu, so it's happening a bunch), the 15 seconds after I ask "hey, do you want me to take one of both of you together?" is invariably the best 15 seconds of my day.

I'm getting curious about a very specific turn of phrase in legal decisions and might have annoyed an ONSC justice. Law is weird and fun, and case reading is actually a blast if you pick the right cases. shep.ca/2022/09/16/dramatis-…

I legitimately don't understand how the good people at @AwesomeKingston keep letting me do their newsletters twice a month.

@QueensEngineer @queensgradstudy @queensuResearch
Great to see @QueensECE professor Ali Etemad promoted to Assistant Professor at @QueensEngineer -- he's doing amazing research that we profiled (succinctly) recently in the context of his announcement as a Mitchell Professor.

Kingston artist Herman Kaur (@artsie_by_passion on Insta) is in the Tiniest Gallery this month, with the print "Here Comes the Sun," a charming little piece that we happened across in the Tett Centre for Creativity & Learning during a visit to the Juniper Cafe.
It's free on @KFPL/@hooplaDigital so I started the Ferrara movie Zeros and Ones & the first 3 minutes is a selfie of Ethan Hawke telling us his motivation to make the movie, like we're his mom and he's explaining all the burn marks on the good carpet. I am very uncomfortable.
Studio heads: well I guess that’s a wrap for today
Roland Emmerich (emerging from a mountain of cocaine): WHAT IF THE MOON IS AN A**HOLE
Studio heads: is there Donald Sutherland
Emmerich: FORTY FIVE GODDAMN GLORIOUS SECONDS
Studio heads: *sold* #moonfall

If I had one wish I know it should probably be "cure cancer" or "no wars" but I swear "shift-ctrl-v is paste text without formatting in every piece of software universally forever" is RIGHT UP THERE
As I get older the kind of vibe I want to put out is sort of a "John Astin as OG Gomez Addams" thing, which is really a "you'll understand why I want this or not" kind of situation.

Thread: I read it again this morning:
"Everything like letters of recommendation and essays and GPA can be easily manipulated by the wealthy, so we need The SAT because it's standardized and fair."
I am struggling horrifically with edits to my LLM thesis but just regaled my wife with a five-minute comprehensive history of the DC Comics supervillain "Man-Bat" so thanks a bunch for that, BRAIN
