A little over two weeks, I caught a cold from one of my kids. Like his cold, it was pretty minor - about a day of sore throat, some minor congestion, and lots of fatigue.
The congestion and fatigue have remained. I figured it developed into a sinus infection (something that happens a lot with me, I have awful sinuses/ears), and a few days ago I went on antibiotics in case it was bacterial or strep or something.
Now I'm wondering if I had covid! I wish we still did testing.…

The Quiet Throat-Cutting of the American University
Syracuse University announced the other day that it will phase out 93 of its approximately 460 academic programs. The administration framed the decision as strategic alignment, calling it a portfolio review driven by student demand and institutional focus. Provost Lois Agnew insisted the move was "not a cost-cutting exercise." Taken at face value, some of these cuts are routine catalog maintenance.

It's almost 1 in the morning but the kid brought home a nasty cold from school (COVID negative on RT-LAMP but stuffy and sore throat and generally not having a good time) and gave it to us.
Slept a good chunk of the day and now I'm cleaning up the lab.
Every time I think I've put away all the random wafers I find another cassette buried somewhere.
Anyway, this bench is slightly less of a disaster now. Still have a lot of random samples to organize whuch might be…

30-something years later and still in awe that Cobain didn't absolutely shred his vocal chords. Like, most death metal vocals sound healthier than the noises that came out of that man's throat.

FFS, I’ve been deteriorating rapidly the past two months with #LongCovid. One reason I struggle to seek treatments for my symptoms is this: I can’t keep up sympons, specifically potassium (hypokalemia life long), and the ER always pins it on my pre existing MH issues.
I started showing up to the ED for low potassium (at one point in the 2s), and severe sore throat (no structural cause…

The oligarchs are not just a class enemy but, as they have always been, a societal enemy: a few thousand people can destroy civilisations. It’s the billions v the billionaires, and the stakes could not possibly be higher.” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/23/catastrophic-climate-event-scientists-atlantic-system-collapse-billionair…

Got sent this email from the elderly convenor of a political group I sometimes sit with. Thank goodness I was alert and suspicious enough - his account had been hacked and this was an email spam that could have cost a lot of money. There was no "Dear Lilly", but they had signed off with his name at the end.

So a Palestinian facing genocide autocompletes a hashtag incorrectly by mistake (#doctor -> #doctorWho) and you jump down her throat?
How about you get some fucking perspective, Angela?
