A specialist once said, "Sounds like you've got something complicated and I don't do complicated." Me: "Are you gonna charge me for this?" Bad doc: "You're taking up my time, aren't you?"

It's not much of a story but a doc told me I wasn't feeling pain when I was doubled over and absolutely was. It was just bizarre!

This is the way

It’s worth noting that Jesus got angry at exactly one type of person: Jerks taking financial advantage of the poor under the cover of religion

She was Hayao Miyazaki's "right-hand" collaborator from the '70s onward. Her name was Michiyo Yasuda -- the best color designer in animation. Yasuda's eye for color gave Ghibli's work a totally different look. We explore her methods: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-artist...

The anti-data center movement is like "I don't want to pay more money for a thing that will not benefit me at all and will actively make my life measurably worse in a bunch of ways" and the pro-data center movement is like "We want it to be illegal for you to not like us."

I've been told I'm teaching a class that the past 5 teachers who were told to teach it quit the next year. This class is an elective! How is there a class so many want to take but no one wants to teach?!? (I don't even think I'm qualified!)

I read this as cool *physics* game and ...nevermind, that tracks.

Now, now... hang on a second. I'm intrigued! Say more, tiny particle.

I asked Norman Rockwell's granddaughter, Daisy Rockwell, about this use of her grandfather's work. She writes: "It goes without saying that they have completely misunderstood the meaning of the painting, which is tolerance for others and peaceful coexistence."

THANK you, KTLA

At a checkup for my mom. What does it say about my age when they're only playing bangers over the hospital waiting room speakers?

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Galaxy halo!

Hadden's building a backup of this thing in Hokkaido in case it gets taken out by a Busey.

I honestly thought this was bad AI.

Americans' sympathy for Palestinians is higher than Americans' sympathy for Israelis for the first time ever. Is that because of big spending by the Palestine lobby? Or is it possible that money isn't everything in politics, and millions of Americans form opinions based on reaction to events?

The story is weirder than you think. It's got Underminer kind of shenanigans, workers just trying ...stuff... to fix it, and a mysterious donor who gave the city gold bars???

Happy Pi Day, everyone!

Blazing Lazers. It was a 1990 game by TurboGrafx-16 and was soooo fun.

It still does good science. You hate to see it sit and collect dust.

It was the 80s. Honestly, who *didn't* have a bit of a sitch with some plutonium? We had radioactive watches fer Pete's sake! These things happen.

'Astronomers' is an anagram for 'moon starers.'

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

Anyone else losing their mind at how delightful these photos of a Caucasian Stoat (Subspecies Mustela erminea teberdina) are? Cool, same. 📷 thedonsky on iNaturalist 📍 Georgia 🔗: www.inaturalist.org/observations... #ObservationOfTheDay

There is indeed a Tardis (of #DoctorWho fame) seen in every shot of the entangled USS Enterprise inside the Scavenger ship in #StarTrekSNW's "The Selat WHO Ate Its Tail". Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey, indeed! :-)

Absolutely not. Please undiscover this promptly and then go sit in a corner and think about what you did.

Once again, I must post this photo of Darwin, aka Science Officer Meow. He is here to make it better.
