Can anyone guess which part of this story made me laugh out loud? Don’t unblur the answer until you’ve read the story. Trust me: For one, the calculation Willow was tasked to solve wasn’t really anything useful to anybody.

And the Hapsburgs… the whole lot of them, apparently.
Then there are the rumors re Gen. George S. Patton.

I’m surprised that other universes would have anything to do with us.

Truly, but only insofar matters concerning things useful for anyone in our dimension. The multiverse is pranking Google.

Still, it could take down cryptocurrency. Which it should get a medal for.

Wow, TIL the way I never stopped looking at art is described like this:
And the “slow looking” movement comes across as pretty conservative—it’s excessively reverential and technophobic.
I’m not a technophobe. I just put my phone in my pocket when I’m trying to enjoy an event in person. Sure, museums can save money by ditching docents in favor of audioguides and QR codes. If I wanted that kind of input, I could access a virtual exhibit at home.

I thought that the connection to Gila monster venom was interesting:
Are people who are desperate for this expensive drug going to start seeking out Gila monsters now?
The current research into applications for GLP-1 drugs is interesting and obviously a lot of people are excited about the prospect of losing weight or beating addiction. But one thing this article doesn’t quite get into is that some studies seem to indicate that it reduces all kinds of cravings and desire, including that for sex. (At least that’s the case in animal studies.) So it raises the possibility that if the drug becomes widely used we may have a society full of thinner, healthier people who have little interest in sleeping with each other.

They only like us for our parking structures.
“So glad I ran into you here!”
“Yeah, me too! Let’s go get dinner together. I’ll drive…but where did you park?”
“Oh, a big structure in Dubuque, Iowa, in um, late 2024.”

Everyday is underdog day.
And while every little gesture can help, doing, say something pro-union, might be just a tad more effective than dressing up like one is heading for comic con. Also, J.K. Rowling as a role model?
