I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

Sign at chick fil a that reads "to maintain supply of the high quality chicken you expect from us, chick fil a will shift from 'no antibiotics ever' to 'no antibiotics important to human medicine' starting in the spring of 2024"

To keep our profit margins as high as possible, we will be giving you just a little bit of chicken drugs, as a treat

Tumblr screenshot. Poster 1, BarbWritesStuff, Aug 26. I have learnt today that my library refers to me as 'the specific and highly active user' and has denied some of my purchase requests because 'we can't skew the collection too much toward the taste of the specific and highly active user. I did suggest roughly 100 vampire books for purchase last year. I think this probably has something to do with that. One reblog from dragon-in-a-fez, Sep 20. OP is there any particular reason the librarians would feel safer not invoking you by name

I thought of *several* of you when I saw this

Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

A replica Tempest Prognosticator at the Whitby Museum, Whitby, UK. The tempest prognosticator was a weather forecasting system which attempted to predict storms with leeches trapped inside glass jars. An approaching storm was supposed to cause the leeches to climb chains dangling in the jars. The leeches climbing up the the chains caused bells to ring and warn of an approaching tempest. The device was invented in the 19th-century by George Merryweather.

At the 1851 Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, London, the latest in scientific innovation was presented.

I present to you:
George Merryweather's "TEMPEST PROGNOSTICATOR" which uses leeches to predict approaching storms.

12 leeches are arranged in pint bottles around the central pillar with a bell.

you have to admit "can you make a documentary about a contemporary subject that never directly quotes anything he ever said or did" is kind of an interesting challenge from an artistic perspective

I have gotten a bit behind at sharing the lab’s latest work - this paper is now published - check it out! www.cell.com/cell-reports... Long story short: insulin is the major determinant of female fat storage, with a relatively minor effect on males.

Looking fit to make Freddie Mercury's rocking world go round, HMS Glatton sits in dry dock. It's very very definitely all about that bass. Wooden keel blocks enable the ship to improbably levitate above the floor of the equally massive dock.

This thing here, exhibit A in "the danger of leaving our ships to melt in the hot sun", is HMS Glatton.

And on this day in 1918 things went even more pear-shaped than they already were...

in 2018 while on a show i was told angie tribeca was stopping by to pick up some equipment, I asked if she needed a drive on pass for the lot. that’s when I learned there was show called angie tribeca. TODAY was the day I found out what kind is show it was & I feel so absolutely cheated out of time

An apt comment from Harold Varmus in this piece:

‘Running a lab is not like running a clothing store, where if your sales are down you can bounce back. You are dealing with highly trained people and projects which, when stopped for a short time, are ruined.’

The physics of this makes no sense it literally looks like when you run footage backwards. Incredible play
