“what if instead of listening to songs that your friends recommend to you or singing along to a song you all love, you could just seal yourself in a hermetic bubble and have a computer regurgitate chord progressions at you forever” what if every meal you ate was dry pasta in a dark bathroom

Hey #science folks: Is anyone familiar with the Cell Press partner journal The Innovation? What's it's deal? The megajournal has an IF of 39.5 and 7 days to first decision. It's only a couple years old. I've never heard of it.

Genome Observatory now has a Genometrics section, where I've collated some stats about the 18k NCBI Chromosome-level genome records. Interestingly many genomes have no mitogenome, and most plant genomes have no plastid genome. Any and all suggestions for additions to Genometrics are welcomed!

For the first time, the beef cubes in the beef stew I made came out tender and not gamey. It's hard to believe that the only thing I really changed was not crowding the pan while browning the meat and deglazing afterwards.

Okay, so I have a plan to get everyone on our side. First, we be absolutely as viscerally unpleasant as possible. Next, we downplay any time we get what we want, say it's the bare minimum and so forth. Finally, if anyone gives up and says we win or apologizes, we belittle them.
