Submitted an article with my sister (PhD in psych). The fun part is that we spell our surnames differently 🥸

I’ve kept the OG Americanised version while she has had to compromise on a variant that doesn’t upset the delicate French bureaucracy.

Somebody hit my cat with their car and killed him. And there really isn’t anything to do but sit here with that.

He was a really good boy.

Maybe you can look at him and send a good thought out into the universe?

Fred Ramsdell was parked at a campground in Montana on Monday when his wife suddenly started shouting. He first thought that maybe she had seen a grizzly bear. Instead, she had regained cell service and had seen a flood of text messages with the same news. “You just won the Nobel Prize!” she yelled.
