today we mourn the loss of my favorite shlenk flask. i do not know where or when it came from, only that it is no longer with us now. I would like to take a moment reflect on all the good work we’ve done together, and know that your legacy will continue through other, inferior pieces of glass.

people are talking about the new sperm whale language research and get all exited. how? all i feel is horrible. humanity hunted them industrially for 400 years. there are whales alive today who probably remember their families getting slaughtered by exploding harpoons. i want to cry.
