I made a Matrix reference to my class a couple years ago in the neuro section then stopped myself, asked how many had seen it. Maybe 40%.

If they weren't before they are now

Let peaceful people cross the Belegaer freely

Shut the f*#& up Tommy!

Two mechanisms, even!

Kanlaya Thai in DC's Chinatown. Really fresh ingredients and a good burn but you could still taste everything no matter how hot the food got. Great curries, but they really nailed the noodle dishes and especially the Basil stir frys.

Never too late to bring back hashtag sarcasm

Fair, but it still reads kind of tongue-in-cheek in context

I don't think that was his point. It looks like he's calling out the hypocrisy of all these clean eating / high protein diet loving scam artists who don't even look at the ingredients in a simple protein bar, meanwhile they pull those exact scare tactics on pretty much anything normal people eat

Plus it's additive across generations. The problem of a lack of meaningful consequences can be traced directly from pardoning Nixon through Iran-Contra, through the Iraq War.

(This is a "yes/and", not a "no/but.")

Carbon monoxide deaths spike in winter. Carbon monoxide alarms have expiration dates just like smoke alarms. If you can't remember the last time you replaced your carbon monoxide alarm, now is the time to rise like bread from your place of resting and check your alarm.

Also what restaurant you at? This looks good

The cooler just holds the drinks, it doesn't actually cool them. The cooler is running.

Best meal in town.

What an H3 Flu Season Really Means I have zero tolerance for fear-mongering, but it is worth calling attention to the seasonal flu surge we’re seeing in the US.

No tolerance for fear-mongering, but the US is in a #seasonalflu surge. H3N2 subclade K is expected antigenic drift, but H3 seasons do tend to be harder. Flu shots still help, esp against severe disease. Now’s the time to layer protections against exposure, not "immune-boosting" hacks #EpiSky #IDSky

Of all people, it's a fucking literature prof who goes with "actually it's the destination not the journey" wtf man

-Flint-knapping an obsidian spear head
-use an abacus
-haggle with a cobbler over the price of a new sole
-light the beacons when Gondor calls for aid

Ya. Compared to my primary school days, in person bullying is greatly reduced. Been fairly lucky so far that online bullying is taken seriously

God gave me PTSD to keep me from storming the Gates of Heaven

Upping this because it's an important read: results suggest there are spatially distributed brain areas which appear to use oxygen *more efficiently* during tasks, especially in the DMN - which is contrary to the assumptions made by conventional BOLD.

Monumental work. Artifacts from the São José have become a centerpiece of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture (N.M.A.A.H.C.). The Clotilda inspired a Netflix documentary and a new museum in Africatown, Alabama, and similar hopes are riding on the Camargo…

Mocking laughter has always been one of the best weapons against fascism

Pretty sure if we took the grate off she'd stuff her entire head in the duct and get stuck there

That's not fair. The AI bots write very well.

Stop trying to make Yale football happen. It's not going to happen

"YOUR TURKEY IS A DINOSAUR" infographic, featuring the skeletons of a Velociraptor and turkey, helpfully labelled with osteological features which turkeys (and all birds) inherited from their theropod ancestors. It's grayscale for easy printing at home!

I made an infographic for this very reason!

Every year I encourage my viewers to print it out for their Thanksgiving turkey dinner, Christmas goose feast, Boxing Day budgie buffet, or any other ritual when people gather to dismember bird carcasses. I'm not a meat eater, but I try not to judge

You're picking up what I'm putting down!
