My power just went out for about two seconds, which is the most annoying length of time for the power to be out. If you're going to make me reset all my clocks, the least you could do is COMMIT

A shocking new poll result: Many Americans somehow don't have a favorite dinosaur. And only 6% give the correct answer (triceratops). Check out YouGov's new polling on Americans and dinosaurs: yougovamerica.substack.com/p/whats-your...
A split bar chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Americans are most likely to say T. Rex is their favorite dinosaur, but many don't have a favorite."

The chart has the sub-headline: "Which of the following is your favorite dinosaur? (%)."

The chart has the note: "Note: "Other" includes responses of archaeopteryx, spinosaurus, plesiosaur, ankylosaurus, allosaurus, parasaurolophus, dilophosaurus, diplodocus, iguanadon, and pachycephalosaurus, as well as responses of "other." We know pterodactyls and plesiosaurs aren't dinosaurs. Opinion about dinosaurs comes from the question, "How much do you like or dislike dinosaurs?""

Every year around this time of year I start being sure that I've forgotten someone's birthday or something I've booked on March 25th, because there's *something* on that date, I'm sure of it. Then I remember. It's the day the One Ring is cast into the Cracks of Doom and Sauron falls.

If I stare at this cross-stitch pattern long enough, maybe it will turn out that this word is SUPPOSED to be vertically displaced from the others by one square. Then I wouldn't have to tear out two letters!

The difference between me (a person who read her first Batman comic in elementary school) and my coworker (just getting into comics) is that when asked about my favorite character I casually went "oh yeah, then they killed her for a while but she's back now" and my coworker looked horrified.

Let's be sensitive to our language choices this week!
Stop Using Anti-Dictionary Language
Instead of:
"She's so wordy!"
"I work out to get toned."
"Move your eyes to the sky."
"That meeting was too long!"
"Let's organize the files by date."
Say:
"Her vocabulary is an inspiration!"
"I work out to
get definition."
"Look up."
"Guess this meeting was
the Unabridged Edition!"
"Alphabetical order is the
supreme method of
organization!!

Just realized that a book I'd been waiting for came out (a couple months ago), had a flurry of emotions (it's out! I'm late! I missed it?), bought it on ebook (hurray!), and then remembered that this was a physical copy series and that now I'm going to have to buy a second physical copy to match.

Instead of believing the myth that three expensive, genetically modified wolves are “de-extinct” dire wolves, let’s look at animals humanity has actually brought back from the brink of extinction using proven science and dedicated hard work: 🧵/6

Colossal Bioscience did not revive dire wolves, despite a sensationalist Time Magazine cover story. Making genetically modified animals that are cosplaying as extinct species is not de-extinction.

Saw a groundhog while on the phone with my mom, casually mentioned it, and was subjected to an interrogation along the lines of "are you SURE it was a groundhog?" Biologist parents! Call a vole a shrew and they never let you forget it.
