"Dad, I’m hungry."

"Hi, hungry. I’m Dad."

There's an example of the beloved form of humor: The Dad Joke.

But what makes something a dad joke instead of just a corny joke? We've got two folklorists answering that question and looking at the history of the 'art' form. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there, funny or not!

Leave a favorite in the replies, so we can all groan together

Fellow academic colleagues: please get involved in shared governance at your institution. I know, that kind of service takes up your time and is often thankless, but it is crucially important. And it is on the verge of extinction at many places. The rug is being pulled out from under us while we go about our teaching and research.

If we value our work in we have to do the work to make the institution a place that is fair, equitable, and just.

It works pretty well at University of Colorado in my opinion.

I need some new science fiction to read, who has some suggestions? I don't like military sci-fi. For reference, my favorite series is the Expanse, I also enjoyed Scalzi's Collapsing Empire, I love Robert Charles Wilson's books. I mostly enjoy space operas and unique stories about technology, for example I really liked the recent book Mountain in the Sea about AI and intelligent octopus. Suggestions from the awesome Bookstodon community? @bookstodon

I feel this so hard. Why can't people just be clear about what they want?

This picture is very weird to me, the is an instrument for assessing possible decline in clinical practice. Part of the MiniCog is asking the person to fill in a round clock face with appropriate numbers and arms indicating "10 minutes past 11". Cognitive impairment can show up as in appropriately arranged numbers, bad spacing, arms pointed at the incorrect numbers, stuff like that. All of it gets scored along with a three word memory recall as an assessment.
Not kids. That's not where the 10 minutes past 11 language is used as far as I know.
It's just a weird meme.
