A big sarcastic thank you to my phone for making a very loud noise in the absolute middle of the night to tell me to keep an eye out for a white man with brown hair who went missing far away from where I live. 😓🤦‍♀️

The Titanique website is down! Everyone is trying to look up whether that was actually Celine Dion and if they really just saw Sheldon playing a woman. #TonyAwards #2026Tonys

This one is super interesting (time.com/archive/6933...)
"In a series of audacious papers, Nielsen and Ninomiya have suggested that setbacks to the LHC occur because of “reverse chronological causation,” which is to say, sabotage from the future. The papers suggest that the Higgs boson may be “abhorrent to nature” and the LHC’s creation of the Higgs sometime in the future sends ripples backward through time to scupper its own creation. Each time scientists are on the verge of capturing the Higgs, the theory holds, the future intercedes. The theory as to why the universe rejects the creation of Higgs bosons is based on complex mathematics, but, Nielsen tells TIME, “you could explain it [simply] by saying that God, in inverted commas, or nature, hates the Higgs and tries to avoid them.”"

But what if multiple animals were sent on (failed) missions to save the world and prevent the timeline we are now experiencing?
"In November 2009, the LHC was also put out of a commission when bird dropped a piece of baguette into the system that keeps the collider from overheating. That led two physicists to suggest that the bird was sent from the future to keep the LHC from exploring secrets nature does not want humans to know."

Also, this may be my favorite outfit that I've ever seen in any show.
Bettany, from Animal Control, wears a vibrant neon pink and blue sweater vest with a dachshund on it -- the dog is depicted wearing a hot pink beret. Under the vest she is wearing a striped shirt in neon pink, blue, and yellow. She is also wearing large hoop earrings.

Since you probably didn't understand that second comment: I currently have a Kristoff doll in front of my TV. He is cuddling with Luke Skywalker.
Two dolls sit in front of the TV (you can see Keke Palmer on the screen): Luke Skywalker made by Kenner in the 90s and Kristoff from Frozen.

I'm watching the Christmas episode of Password and I am obsessed with Keke Palmer's whole look. 😍
Jonathan Groff and Keke Palmer stand together, posing. Groff is making a silly face, Palmer looks fabulous in a red suit with red and green gift bows in her hair, matching red glasses, and gold Christmas tree shaped earrings.

Rereading Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and I found this cute little note in the book that I had left the last time I read it. The text reads, "From broad neck to buttocks so bulky and thick" and I added, "You knew in a moment it must be St. Nick!" 😂

I normally don't give Republican politicians' memoirs more than a passing glance, but I just fell through a Wikipedia rabbit hole and ended up reading about Laura Bush and... she's really interesting?! How did this librarian from Texas end up marrying THAT guy? I might need to read her book. 🤔
"November 6, 1963 ^(Wednesday)

In Midland, Texas, 17-year old Laura Welch, who would later marry George W. Bush and become the First Lady upon his inauguration as President of the United States, ran a stop sign at the intersection of Farm to Market Road 868 and Big Spring Street, and crashed into the side of a car driven by one of her classmates at Robert E. Lee High School, 17-year old Michael Dutton Douglas. Laura Bush would finally write about the accident after her husband left office, in her 2010 memoir, Spoken from the Heart, recounting that she and her friend were hurrying to a drive-in movie. [28] Douglas, whose neck was broken, died at the local hospital.[29][30][31]"

I read (but unfortunately never finished) his book "Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy," which is mostly about his various mental illnesses. It was an interesting read -- I just didn't finish it because I got distracted. 😅

There are no services in America for disabled people who are being abused to get help for themselves. The few services that do exist have wording on their websites that remove autonomy from the disabled person, and treat us like objects instead of people. For example:
"GEORGIA DEPARTMENT of HUMAN SERVICES DIVISION of AGING SERVICES

Report Elder Abuse

Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation of Vulnerable Adults in Georgia

Have you ever been suspicious about how your relative received bruises on their arms? Perhaps you suspect your neighbor who has a disability is not caring for himself/herself the way he/she has in the past. Have you ever noticed an elderly or disabled neighbor wandering around asking neighbors for food or a ride?

What should you look for, and what can you do?

Abuse, neglect, or exploitation of elderly and disabled adults is one of the most undetected and underreported problems in the U.S."

This Time article is really confusing me. "Good teachers... know the number of children in their nursery"? Is this a colloquial phrase I don't know?
Screenshot text: "APR 16, 2025 6:30 AM ET, Sandra Díaz, by Elizabeth Maruma Mrema.
Good teachers not only know the number of children in their nursery, they also understand the traits of every individual child and the dynamics of interactions in class. What a good teacher does in a classroom, ecologist Sandra Díaz does for the natural world.
