If going through Whova to answer some fat-checking questions I couldn’t get to during the session. So post a question if you have one. #VCON24 #ACESeditors

Should have also written fact-checking, not fat-checking. First time I’ve made that error, but I think it’s funny!

I’ve been working with a YA author on his second book. If you like fantasy and coming of age tales, give his first book, which came out this summer, a try. #FANTASY #WitchesOfGaldanon #writersofinstagram instagram.com/joedavesiege/p…

What’s better than getting a box of books? A book of your nephew’s book you helped edit! It’s YA fantasy, but I think you’ll enjoy it. barnesandnoble.com/w/the-wit…

A free press is crucial to democracy. Today, we are thinking of Evan Gershkovich, the WSJ reporter who has been wrongfully detained by the Russian government for over one year. His arrest is an attack on journalists around the world. #IStandWithEvan

Since I use Merriam-Webster all the time, I’m cool with AP making a change in its primary dictionary. # ACES2024

Early in the second half I was thinking that Kansas had to get up by more than 20 because Sanford was going to come back by at least 18-19. That turned out to be exactly right.

My students who left KU at 8 for the parade probably didn't leave early enough!

I find this split screen thing with the #Chiefs game annoying. I can’t tell which game the audio is coming from. (All announcers sound the same!)

I’m watching the KC Fox4 news during halftime of the Cowboys game. The anchor just said “today marks 22 years since 9/11.” It’s Oct. 1. Do you think they put in the wrong tape?

Professor Scott Reinardy will lead a group of 60 men and women in playing a non-stop, night and day baseball game this weekend to raise over $300,000 for charity. The "EndlessGame" is expected to last 100 hours. Read more: mlb.com/news/endless-basebal…

It's the baseball game that never ends -- on purpose and for charity

Picture this: It's 3 a.m. and the world is asleep, save for night owls, insomniacs and the trucks downshifting on the highway. Everything is quiet and still. Everything, that is, except for a small...

This is the best thing I saw on social media today. Too bad I have almost no light-color clothing, but I tried to stay inside today. Felt like 124 in Lawrence, according to my weather app.

The results are in! Clearly the darker colored shirts got a lot warmer in the afternoon sun. The black and maroon shirts were much warmer than the rest. The white T-shirt and white jersey were much cooler. So if you're headed out this week, wear light & loose fitting clothing.
Image of 7 different colored shirts and the temperature of each of them. The white T-shirt was 119. The maroon t-shirt was 156. The grey number 15 jersey was 128 degrees. The construction yellow t-shirt was 121. The white jersey was 111. The blue polo was 133. The black t-shirt was 155.
