Unfortunately Cyclone #Diwtah's death toll has risen above 465 across #SriLanka. Decided to make a map comparing the fatalities to where the most amount of rain fell. You can see the bullseye of >800mm correlated with the highest fatalities. #CycloneDitwah #Cyclone

Good morning, skeeters. It’s just another manic Monday.
On a seafoam green background is an illustration of an orange tabby sat in its bottom. It’s wearing a pink and blue party hat with a purple Pom Pom on the end that says “No.” it’s surrounded by different baked breads like loaves, croissants, pretzels, scones, etc. the meme caption reads “i just want to eat bread

Highly esteemed Mrs. Curie,
Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say.
But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you!? that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. However, I am convinced that you consistently despise this rabble, whether it obsequiously lavishes respect on you or whether it attempts to satiate its lust for sensationalism!
I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you, and Langevin(3) too, real people with whom one feels privileged to be in contact. If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it to the reptile for whom i
