thank u for ur snackrifice????
a bag of gummies labelled “military heroes”. they are all shaped like soldiers. it’s as weird as it sounds a photo of a red gummy military hero. he is balancing some kind of large gun on his shoulder, but because he is gummy, it is very flaccid. his leg is also bent upwards because it is gummy. I don’t know if that makes him eligible for a medical discharge but it can’t be good

i was fortunate enough to profile Margaret Hamilton in 2019. A really kind and curious person. This was my favorite story she told me:

Very sad to hear that Margaret Hamilton has passed away. Here's a short thread about her role in the Apollo mission, and her lesser-known work on the simulations that led to the discovery of Chaos Theory. 🧪 👩‍🔬 ⚛️

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

i love the restored apollo images
View from inside an Apollo spacecraft looking through a dark window toward a tiny crescent Earth in the distance. Parts of the spacecraft interior and window frame are visible around the small illuminated planet.A thin crescent Earth hangs above the rugged lunar horizon against the blackness of space. The Moon’s cratered surface stretches across the bottom of the image.A distant, partially illuminated Earth floating alone in deep black space. Swirling white clouds and blue-gray oceans are visible on the lit side.Close-up of a circular Apollo spacecraft window surrounded by metal hardware, markings, bolts, and controls. The window is scratched and speckled, with faint reflections and a dim view of space beyond.

Intro paragraph from a post by an allegedly legitimate sporting news website, reading "All four MLB Wild Card series are 1-0 heading into Game 2". In fact, that is the only possible way a series could be heading into Game 2

Doug Glanville quote tweeting Joey Votto: No worries, man. You are bringing such great and unique insight. Savant level content. Everyone on Earth second guesses. That is easy. Pedestrian. Much harder to first guess and own it. See you on the road.
