Some thoughts on the journey from thermodynamics to equilibrium and back again. moleculeworld.wordpress.com/2024/10/14/the…

Super Bowl XVII, the Bills’ third loss in a row and redemption for the Cowboys. I also vividly remember watching the Cowboys vs 49ers NFC championship game that year. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bow…

Please drop everything you are doing and enjoy one of the most fascinating games played this year!

Yesterday, I blundered a completely vanilla pawn endgame from a Caro-Kann exchange. Seeing Ding do something similar is painful. Congrats to Gukesh, but Ding should hold his head high. He's back in MUCH better form! #chess lichess.org/Vj5oPn4m8hDA

Wow. The Wikipedia page for trichloroisocyanuric acid, one of the compounds involved in the recent Bio-Lab fire in GA, references ANOTHER Bio-Lab fire in LA in 2020! #cite_note-6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichloro…

Problematic for the Birds?

Another “great” sports weekend with the notable exception of Kentucky… The Hawks finally ran out of steam. The Falcons continued to Falcon. Ding buckled at last.

Okay, I am now a believer. I’M SORRY FOR WHAT I SAID! 😅😂

Terrible decision making, horrid shooting, and letting the Zags run around you on offense. Also, it’s 10:30 pm. Good night @KentuckyMBB ✌️🐱🏀😴

Some chess games are just decided on endurance. No idea why I didn’t play 4 d4 (okay, final exams and whatnot). #6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">lichess.org/Xfi733eC/white…

The only thing I would add is that I’m famously squeamish around sick people, so my stomach’s turning now too. 🙏

Students getting ill during finals is a tale as old as time. I had a student a few years back who calmly puked in the trash can in CULC 144 and walked out of the room without informing a soul. I thought he was going to the bathroom, but he disappeared and never came back… 🤷‍♂️

Using one of the food delivery robots for the first time. A colleague: “I find them strangely sinister…” 😂

@chessdojo @DanielKingChess I don’t play bullet…ever. Maybe I should start! 😂 Check out this #chess game: ramirez-2112hotmailcom vs mevansgambit - chess.com/live/game/1272…

Of course it’s a WCC rest day…but I’ve saved up a couple recaps from @chessdojo and @DanielKingChess 😁 Big fan so far. I don’t think we’ll see Gukesh go back to 1 e4, but would love to see another French.

Happy final exam tweet-a-thon 2024. Some of us just won’t let Twitter die.

I dont think i could live it down if i was assassinated and my company's stock surged

.@realDonaldTrump you are trash.

My thoughts on #DingGukesh Game 7, World Chess Championship 2024 youtu.be/nOXomEozKYU

Really surprised with Gukesh’s 32 Qxf5? He seemed to be missing how good his position was. (I know the feeling. 🙃) Best was 32 Bg5!

The WCC marches on with another really interesting game today. 22 Rxe1 Qxa2!? 23 Ra1 and best for black was returning the pawn and evacuating the queen with 23…c3! Instead, Ding stubbornly kept his queen in white’s camp. The gamble paid off! lichess.org/broadcast/fide…
