Still thinking about a talk on cognitive development yesterday where they described 35–40 as “established adulthood” and boy-howdy am I not established

Every episode of @gamechanger.dropout.tv is a wild ride, but I have experienced so, so, so many emotions just 11 minutes into the season 8 finale.

Let’s talk about stairwell lighting. Who’s in charge and why do they all have 90s horror game vibes.

Working with a particularly confusing interface led me to sigh heavily the other day, so my colleague remarked “Don’t let them steal your sparkle!” Gotta be honest: I think I’m losing the sparkle. 😮‍💨

Got to put on a jacket today and probably won’t have to stow it after work. Very excited for the layered boy fall 🍂

I’m going to be thinking about that cardamom bun for a while, I think

Wild feeling and just existentially staggered from watching @dimension20.dropout.tv’s Fantasy High season 2, episode 19 and recalling that 6 years ago, we could only imagine how bad things would get.

TIL it’s “your kiss, your kiss is on my list” and not, in fact, “your kiss, your kiss is on my lips”—but to be fair my version makes more sense.

Okay—I made fun of the fact that only 4 people have cited my paper but I am low-key proud that 4 people have cited my paper.

I’m making peace with the fact that Adidas will not, in fact, be restocking the away Japan jersey. 😔

I think sidewalk cafe signs (are they officially called A-frames?) are under-appreciated. I’ve noticed there are some unique and quaint designs for some of them.

The way I am so hyped for Ace Combat: Wings of Theve. I loved Ace Combat since Ace Combat: Shattered Skies and just can't get enough of these games.

Are people forgetting that the third place finishers have a shot at making the knockouts still?

Perhaps one of the more likeable parts of The Edge of Space-Time is the prevalence of pop culture references juxtaposed with scientific concepts. It reminds me working in a lab where people would say “The numbers were scary” (from Severance) when looking at preliminary survey data

Spotted this new ‘fight cloud’ emoji 🫯 but find it hilarious that they added it in the ☁️nature⚡️ section of the keyboard like it’s a type of METEOROLOGICAL EVENT

Still thinking about the USA v. Brazil game last night. Glad the USA got the experience (and win) playing in a hostile venue but what a chaotic end to that game.

I saw Silent Friend at the Lincoln Center movie theatre and it spoke to me on so many different levels—it’s a fantastically profound film

What are the runner equivalents of flashing your headlights or revving your engine to challenge other people to impromptu street races?

I have no idea when I’ll ever use this emoji, but you can bet I will be looking for every reason 🫪

How I manage my list of media to consume/are consuming. My go-to when people ask me for my "top 10" or whatnot. Books go to StoryGraph and research articles are just a folder that has a mind of its own—I've given up to trying to figure that out.

My new obsession 📐 It satisfies that part of my brain that tried to guess angles by looking instead of doing the geometry.

Doing some research for my next article, so I just learned that Science does write-ups and this one has an incredible opening paragraph.

Maybe the first Q&A that had me hooked: beyond garnering interest in her book, @chanda.blacksky.app discussing the ‘edge’ is something I relate to not only as a researcher but as a Filipino-American, which underscores how appropriate poetry is for capturing how beautifully complex our world is.

Using metric system prefixes on imperial system units is kinda funny: like ‘kilomile’ or ‘milliyard’. Maybe this will lead to world peace or just terms that spurned by either group.
