@AlPrufrock @NuclearHerbs @MikeTyson He's not even the greatest of the division.

@NuclearHerbs @MikeTyson No one in the history of boxing could have beaten Iron Mike in 1988. He is the greatest that ever was.

This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time. I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won. To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you 🙏 #PaulTyson

@NatashaMLee $80?!? Ain't no way.

I thought men’s hair cuts was like $30, but my husband says he pays ~$80 after tax and tip. Sheesh...

@gd_wilson @UWSoc Congrats!

Thanks to the home team @UWSoc for a shoutout today on my career news! Seems like a nice time to also announce my first-ever article was accepted for publication (pending revisions). It’s a solo-authored piece that I hope will expand our thinking on nonprofits. More to come!

@labramsucla Thanks!

Happy to announce that our article on how Crisis Intervention Team training impacts officers' use of force was recently published! tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

@CDelawalla I practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu several times a week, compete in grappling competitions, and love playing Magic: the Gathering!

Hey Academics...what are the cool things you do and/or make outside of your research?? Do you draw? Dance? Make music? Build stuff? Knit? Cook? SHOW US! Please take this tweet to brag about your hobbies without reserve!

If you're going to lock up everything in the drug store, an already demeaning shopping experience, at least have enough workers to open up the cases for all the customers who just need a razor.

@C_Laurenia Happy for you!
