Also in Pittsburgh, after the Tree of Life shooting, the Muslim community stepped up as one of the warmest and most consistent sources of support.

Did you see what it took for Epstein to finally flame out? Life gives the wealthy & connected an astonishing number of free mulligans. Read about the impossibly long decline of John McAfee if you want to see how long a truly doomed mind can keep circling the drain.

The idea that truth & accuracy matters seems like the literal opposite of nihilism.

President Kennedy, about that space program, I have a question that’s more of a comment

Hah, I just thought about Dobermans wailing OMG WANT COUCH. My current pup is a stoic but our last one, Max (pictured to the left) was the Mariah Carey of Dobermans. He’d serenade the neighborhood if we were late feeding him, or he wanted to play, or there wasn’t room on his loveseat…

By 2018, that would be like offering to sell donuts to Dunkin Donuts. I’m sure they politely accepted it, and the motive behind the offer was appropriately hideous all the same

That’s how you talk when you’d literally chain your son to a basement radiator rather than let recruiters get to him. He’s thinking a few steps ahead and not liking the questions he expects to get angrily thrown at him.

Curious whether the magnitude is close to the clathrate carbon that’s seltzering and sometimes literally exploding out of warming tundra. When I really need to not sleep I think about that part.

I swear to god we’re going to end up with the typewriter that Hemingway wrote on, with coded pick-ups, going for $3200.

To pull that off we’d need…wait for it…Greenland.

“if anything, the typical dissertation suffers from too many citations”

Yeah, all those damn kids trying a bit hard to impress a committee that already decided six months ago to huck you onto the academic job market…they know who they are

On the other hand the Epstein story was really dragging everyone down, and by everyone I mean one specific person whose joys in life align strikingly with the brain damaged Lannister cousin who smashed beetles

Hah yeah, they’re great dogs. They do need more dog knowledge than a lab or a doodle to get best results, but the reward for being a good dog mom/dad is ridiculous. Also important to match temperament to what you’re after; we pick the therapy dog candidates and leave the mall guard types.

Far Side cartoon, caveman lecturer pointed to a stegasaurus tail saying ‘and this end is called the thagomizer…after the late Thag Simmons’.

Holy balls, Morgan Freeman just very seriously pointed out the ‘thagomizer’ on the Netflix/Spielberg dinosaurs show. Like 100% educational tone of voice, that is what professionals call it, because I looked it up and they do now? How cool is that.

Is Thermo too pedestrian now? We used to get bulk Fisherbrand everything, and personalize with a Sharpie.

Exception being the ~5 year period their microfuge tube supplier was just awful. That goof must have kept VWR going.

You can’t tell at a glance that he’s an affection sponge who mostly wants to sniff everyone’s butt, but he is. Best of both worlds as I see it.

A guy at our corner shul asked why I have a Doberman in the city. It isn’t my first reason but bud, we’re a mile from Tree of Life. I want people casing the area (they always case the area before) to see that I’m here.

Each group of four forms a limb, and the limbs all join up into a super-pedestrian to take on larger threats

Not unrelated, actuaries are probably the first professional class to ‘see’ climate change and deal with it. Flood coverage anywhere on the Gulf coast has become…quite rare.

Sock turnover rate has become unacceptably high lately. Without unduly prejudicing the investigation, a leading suspect has emerged.
