Napoleon the Chemist

I saw frogs. Here's one of them. Likely relevant to @onegrenouille.myatproto.social's interests.

[Sees someone posting covid denialism, namely disbelief in long covid]Gonna dabble in AIDS denialism next? If you judge people for their decision to wear a mask, you're a shitty person.

so did we have a moment in like 2000 where Gozer the Gozerian says to America "choose the form of your destructor" or something?

Must be nice, not having chronic health problems. Probably someone with nothing rewarding in life, possibly fishing to get the new "no dogpiling" rule to go after a bunch of people just to feel something where their soul should be. They don't deserve the attention.

you HAVE to get on board with beanie babies. beanie babies are going to leave you behind. you must devote your time to studying all the new beanie babies and how it impacts yuor life. also theyre alive and im in love with iggy the iguana

This whole ACS logo redesign was just an elaborate prank to make me have a whole bunch of stylized robot buttholes on top of my browser window, wasn't it? #chemchat

the thing about "separating the art from the artist" is that it comes from academic circles where they were trying to separate an artist's views from an interpretation of their work as an intellectual exercise, not as a way to give people moral carte blanche to support shitty people

Damn straight I would repost a frog.

Look, if I'm going to be referring to a group of people who might not all identify as the same gender (or are non-binary) I'll either be using y'all or comrades. Jack's just mad that he can't turn the word "Y'all" into an exhibit at the British Museum, where the inventors can't use it.

As close to totality as we got here

I don't know what is going on with autocorrect, but it's very clear to me while doing a not-quite-final read through that the "correcting what you're typing while you're typing it" is introducing more errors, and more obviously wrong ones, than it ever catches.

this meme has been haunting my thoughts, unwanted and unbidden, all week

Optimist: The glass is half full. Pessimist: The glass is half empty. Chemist: Why isn't the glass in the goddamn fume hood?

Funny story, it already exists as a fan-made TTRPG. And has for over 20 years.

Michelle Tafoya doesn't have an opinion on who invented the Jucy Lucy.

Ethanol is really just the least-efficient and most resource-intensive solar battery power for cars anyway, cut out the middlemen and put gigawatts worth of solar in rural areas instead

I get that it would be a political faux pas to openly celebrate Lindsey Graham snuffing it, but there's always just keeping the statement limited to sympathy for those whose lives he had an impact on.

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

I spoke with Mitch McConnell for about 20 minutes tonight and then he was like "Oh, wait Lindsey Graham just showed up, wanna talk to him?"

Netflix currently approaching Platner to see if he’d like a special

The strangest thing happened today. We went to the uninhabited island of Lunga, west of Mull, to look at the puffins nesting there. I was just taking photos when I felt a thump as something landed quite heavily in my head. It was a puffin! It stayed for about a minute before flying off.

Minnesota forever.

If the rodeo this happened at had been adhering to the Flag Code, this never would have happened. (From the replies, the parachuter is okay and only sustained a minor cut. I can joke without guilt.)
