Reminds me of this:
First panel: The “this is fine” dog sitting in a chair with a coffee cup on the table in front of them: the house around them is burning down. Second panel: the dog is wearing an I Voted sticker, and complacently says “they can’t do this, it’s illegal” as the flames get higher.

“No, Seriously, F*ck Engagement” talk by @daviddylanthomas.bsky.social at #axecon absolutely blew my hair back and was exactly what I needed today.

Old Maxell ad for audio cassettes. Black and white photo of a white man wearing sunglasses sitting in a chair facing a speaker. The lampshade next to him, his martini glass, and his hair and tie are being blown backwards from the force of sound coming from the speaker.

Cold enough for ice hockey on Lake Quannapowitt this morning!
Seven people bundled up and skating with hockey on a section of lake ice they cleared near the shore. The center of the lake isn’t frozen, somewhat worryingly.

This #Costco thread, but with actual alt text:
Screen shot of page 36 of a document with a COSTCO Wholesale header: The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal. Our Board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary. The report requested by this proposal would not provide meaningful additional information to our shareholders, and the Board thus unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal. Page 36 continued: Our success at Costco Wholesale has been built on service to our critical stakeholders: employees, members, and suppliers. Our efforts around diversity, equity and inclusion follow our code of ethics: For our employees, these efforts are built around inclusion - having all of our employees feel valued and respected. Our efforts at diversity, equity and inclusion remind and reinforce with everyone at our Company the importance of creating opportunities for all. We believe that these efforts enhance our capacity to attract and retain employees who will help our business succeed. This capacity is critical because we owe our success to our now over 300,000 employees around the globe. We welcome members from all walks of life and backgrounds. As our membership diversifies, we believe that Third screenshot of page 36: serving it with a diverse group of employees enhances satisfaction. Among other things, a diverse group of employees helps bring originality and creativity to our merchandise offerings, promoting the "treasure hunt" that our customers value. That group also helps to provide insights into the tastes and preferences of our members. And we believe (and member feedback shows) that many of our members like to see themselves reflected in the people in our warehouses with whom they interact. Having diversity in our supplier base, including appropriate attention to small businesses, is beneficial for many of the same reasons diversity benefits our Company. We believe that it fosters creativity and innovation in the merchandise and services that we offer our members.

Meme of a degenerate looking guy looking through a window saying “yes… ha ha ha… YES!” Usually in this meme his shirt has writing labeling him a sicko, but in this one his shirt says Academic Support Staff

In other #HigherEd news this morning, sure sounds to me like a supposedly Democratic rep is actively seeking to use weaponize the media to target a university in his state and boost his profile.
On Friday, for instance, according to a screenshot of a Slack channel that records summaries of calls to Moulton’s office, the chair of the Tufts political science department, David Art, called and “said he consulted with his colleagues and doesn’t want our office to contact Tufts about internships and they won’t facilitate internship opportunities for students with us.” During an interview, Art was evasive about what exactly he said but told me at one point “I definitely said other things in addition to that.” He said he emphasized the need for Moulton’s office to clarify its stance on Title IX, a federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in any schools receiving federal aid.

Fitting that he is a professor of religion, because his last 5 paragraphs have a real "then a miracle occurred" quality to them.
Cartoon: two older white male professors looking at a chalkboard filled with mathematical notation. One points to the part of the equation that says "then a miracle occurs..." and says "I think you should be more explicit here in step two."

Here’s the stupid looking babies from our last porch batch (Splat and Looker)
Mourning dove chick named Splat, sitting on a porch with feet that are too big for it and a head that doesn’t understand feathers yet. Mourning dove chick sitting on a box on a ledge, looking straight at you unblinking with its beady dinosaur eyes.

Doing okay! Doing morning garden inspection, taking comfort that even though there’s only 2 tomatoes at least they’re starting to ripen?
Only 2 green tomatoes on some giant-assed plants
