In The Bob Newhart Show episode "Mister Emily Hartley," Bob finds out that his IQ is 129 and his wife Emily's is 151.

Have you ever taken an IQ Test?

Those three Bruford band albums rank very highly for me.

Ralph Kramden was working for the WPA shoveling snow when he met Alice Gibson. She had been assigned to hand out shovels to the workers.

They lived at 328 Chauncey Street in Brooklyn, NYC (sometimes referred to as Bensonhurst).

This was Jackie Gleason's childhood address.

Cartesian Science is one of the first courses I took in graduate school, back in the early 90s at the CUNY GC. It was taught by Martin Tamny.

Today's new episode: Cartesian Science!

From comets to blood transfusions, embryology, and the debate over the pineal gland: Descartes’ impact on science, especially medicine.

I’ve never accepted the idea that being literary in one’s writing is antithetical to being rigorous.

If you are a lover of mysteries on television, and especially Poirot, then do yourself a favor and watch Ian Carmichael play Dorothy Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey.

I can’t figure it out. I had 5k at the other place, and here I’m struggling to get to 1k. 🤷‍♂️

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

What Americans are doing today in cities and town across the country is awfully impressive. The effort to demoralize everyone has been strong and relentless, so there is a “waking the sleeping giant” air to this.

Woo hoo! Go Jannik!

Tennis Updates @tennisupdates.bsky.social · 23h

Jannik Sinner wins 6-2, 6-4 against Carlos Alcaraz to defend his 6 Kings Slam Title

I know that this doesn't mean that much besides a bunch of prize money, but was encouraging to see Sinner go more aggressive vs Alcaraz, it being indoors definitely helped that.
