lets check in with my feelings of imposter syndrome since starting my new position as a junior prof:
meme of Freddy from scooby doo unmasking a criminal dressed as a ghost, the top panel of the meme shows the masked criminal labeled "Me seemingly not a fool" and freddy standing next to the masked criminal labeled "Me", the bottom panel shows the now unmasked criminal with the label "me a fool" and freddy having unmasked the criminal now with the mask in his hand labeled "me"

We should define our terms here, and yes he 100% means this:

Beautiful picture looking out of the chemistry building at the University of Freiburg in Freiburg Germany. The old cathedral can be seen in the distance with a backdrop of a blue sky with clouds and distant foothills of the black forrest with fall colors showing through in the trees picture of the Münster at dawn in the Altstadt of Freiburg, Germany, with a still dark sky in the background and moon over the Münster, in the foreground a well-lit flowers stand can be seen preparing for the daily morning market

Where will the unicorn go next?? I'm sure bluesky will tell me!
screenshot of my bluesky "Following" page with two posts in succession, the first post from "GOLIKHELLMACHINE" reads "there's a person on the corner in an inflatable unicorn costum dancing and holding a sign that says WELCOME TO HELL" and the second post is from Sarah McAnulty, which is a quote retweet, Sarah writes "Portland is reacting to this in exactly the way I would expect Portland to react to this lmao" and the post she has quote retweeted reads, from Cabel Sasser "portland update: this just crossed the street in front of me holding a bright yellow sign that said WELCOME TO HELL" with a picture attached of a person in a unicorn costume crossing the street, politely using the zebra stripe crossing way, in front of a grey car with a parking lot in the background

Post your last photo of DC to show what a hell-hole it is.

Look at this despicable duck flouting the "No Swimming in the Reflection Pool" rules. Get 'em boys.

plane with red dots highlighting survivorship bias. The image is a schematic of a plane taken from above with red dots on the wing tips and tail tips, the misconception is that the regions of the plane with red dots are those that need to be fortified when in fact the regions of the plane without red dots are the regions that need to be fortified as those are the regions for which incoming hits proved fatal.

I, for one, am particularly proud to be a Radical Left, idiot, birdbrain only capable of teaching FAILURE to "future leaders"
Screenshot from Donald Drumpfs Truth Social post describing harvard, quote reads "Everyone knows that Harvard has "lost its way". They hired from New York (Bill D) and Chicago (Lori L), ar ridiculously high salaries/fees, two fo the WORST and MOST INCOMPETENT mayors in the history of our Country, to "teach" municipal management and government. These two Radical Left fools left behind two cities that will take years to recover from their incompetence and evil. Harvard has been hiring almost all woke, Radical Left, idiots and "birdbrains" who are only capable of teaching FAILURE to students and so-called "future leaders". Look just to the recent past that their pladiarizing President, who so greatly embarrassed Harvard before the United States States Congress. When it got so bad that they just couldnt take it anymore they moved this grossly inept woman into another position, teaching, rather than firing her ON THE SPOT. Since then much else has been found out about her, but she remains in place. Many others, like these leftist dopes, are teaching at Harvard, and because of that, Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning, and should not be considered on any list of the World's Greatest University or Colleges. Harvard is a JOKE, teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should no longer receive Federal Funds. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
