In general, it really gets my goat how economics is portrayed as some sort of sophisticated hard science and sociology as ideological mush in the popular imagination, when in fact, economics is: duh-duh-duh…. A Social Science!

My whole thing is: okay, we could interpret this in the worst way possible, and it’s not impossible that interpretation is correct, but publicly championing “guilty until proven innocent” as our M.O. probably isn’t helping our credibility and will probably come back to bite us at some point.

Me: Is there something you want to say to me? Wife: No. Me: I can tell there's something bothering you. Wife: Fine. I wish you'd get over your obsession with 90s hip-hop. Me: Whoomp! There it is.

“When the Sumerian chaos demon Utna’Kresh who ruled the formless void before the big bang offers to show you the answers to a pop quiz your teacher ain’t written yet, it sounds fun. But take it from me *lowers sunglasses to reveal churning pools of infinite darkness*, Utna’Kresh ain’t on the level!”

I’m glad you really took it to heart when we had that school assembly where the motivational speaker warned us about the dangers of experimenting with retro-causality.

My Therapist said I need to write letters to the people who have wronged me and then throw them in the fire. I said OK but what do I do with the letters?

I understand where you’re coming from, but that’s not the approach we should be taking. Dump buckets of SALT water on ice agents wearing shock gloves. It’s far more conductive than tap water.

Seemed like a cheap throwaway line when I first saw it as a preteen. Then I grew up and met real scientists and engineers and realized the cosmic irony that people with the most interesting occupations always end up fixated on the most tedious aspects of their work.

Mine (as you may have guessed from the GIF) is from Futurama - “Over there is my intergalactic spaceship, and here’s where I keep assorted lengths of wire!” “Whoa - A real live spaceship!” “I designed it myself. Let me show you some of the lengths of wire I used.”

Cyclospora cayetanensis is spread through direct fecal-oral transmission and humans are the only known host. This begs the question: just how much human feces do we unknowingly consume on a regular basis when said feces doesn’t contain organisms that cause impossible to ignore symptoms?

But there are many ways to view the world, no one whose not a biologist uses the word “anuran”, and technically ALL words are made up, so I think “toads are a branch of frogs” is a pretty good compromise between the technical biological and the common speech definitions of frogs and toads. 😊 🐸

Ethan J @herpguy88.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
Technically, animals like bullfrogs in the family ranidae are “true frogs”, animals in the family bufonidae like Woodhouse’s toad are “true toads”, and then a whole lot of animals like poison arrow frogs are neither. Anura is the groups that contains all the things we either call frogs or toads.

(2/2) If you’re scampering around the treetops, but unlike other arboreal animals that are light bodied and/or have built in parachutes (think squirrel tail) falling is likely fatal for you, it’s important be able to construct an accurate mental map of your 3D environment from visual information.

(1/2) My mammalogy professor stated that so many of the things that are precursors to what I hat which makes us human are adaptations to an arboreal (in trees) lifestyle.

Ethan J @herpguy88.bsky.social · 25/07/2026
Eh, frog is fine. Mapping common names onto valid biological taxa can be tricky if not impossible. There’s no common ancestor of all the things commonly called “frogs” that isn’t also the ancestor of commonly called “toads”, so I think “toads are a kind of frog” is perfectly valid.

No one had better refer to me with any of that they/them crap. Or you, who, whom, we, or us. I guess what I’m saying is that I’m a medieval lord, and you peasants are unfit to refer to me in anything other than the third person singular.

I had hoped that pushback against the current geopolitical situation would foster a desire to highlight Persian culture, thus tipping the search results for “Rumi” on this platform toward a more even “Sufi poetry” to “erotic K-Pop Demon Hunter fan art” ratio. Alas, my hope was in vain. 😞
