  1. Watching a replay of a soccer game played earlier today whose outcome I do not know.

    The score ticker at the bottom of the screen shows ...the final score of this game.

  2. The new season of Party Down is really fun. Worth the $3 Starz subscription. Great blend of old and new characters. Martin Starr still writes HARD sci-fi.

  3. People re-given blue checks on Xshitter who never paid for them are now hiding the check marks.

    IT IS THE PARABLE OF THE BLUE CHECK SNEECHES

  4. #NASA is set to announce the crew of the #ArtemisII lunar mission.

    My question is, why would any astronaut volunteer for anything named ARTEMIS TWO???

  5. The Pho place near me not only serves THE BEST Vietnamese soups, but also the finest soft rock of the 70s and 80s.

  6. CW: #Picard spoilers

    Producer: We're all out of ideas for how to wrap this thing up. Anyone?

    George Lucas: We can have Lando, I mean Data, fly the Millennium Falcon, er the Enterprise, into the Death Star II, I mean the Borg cube, and blow up the glowing spherical thing in the middle. The end.

    Producer: Awesome!

  7. Really glad to see this NPR article on using war metaphors to describe illness. Writers - even seasoned medical reporters - almost reflexively use words like "battle" and "win" vs "lost" - I certainly did in my career.

    But there are many good reasons to avoid this language.

  8. Last week, I made joking plans with someone to visit a Mini Pig Cafe in Kamakura, Japan. It has a nice storefront on google maps.

    Today another friend told me she is traveling this week to...KAMAKURA JAPAN.

    There are no coincidences.

  10. If you have #LongCovid or #MEcfs and are considering filing a long-term disability claim, this white paper by my old lawyer, Barbara Comerford, is a must-read.

    Barbara has been helping people win lawsuits against insurers for three decades now.

    She took my case against Prudential to federal court & kicked their asses so hard the judge wrote an absolutely scathing ruling against Prudential that set some precedents.

  11. Just read several posts from displaced #Maui families who are very frustrated by lack of on-the-ground aid. FEMA has provided $700 immediate assistance. Meanwhile, the #MauiStrong hashtag has led to $56 million in donations to the Hawaii Community Foundation, which provides no direct aid but gives donations to other groups like shelters. But Lahaina's shelters can't house many people. The displaced need rent money now.

    IOW, big mess on the ground, lots of $ not being used well.

  12. I miss the Washington Post's Outlook section, where a person was allowed to have a thought deeper than 750 words.

  13. It's #InternationalDayOfTheSeal eh? I didn't get the memo but some someone else's post on it.

    So here is Hawaiian monk #seal G13. They're tagged and numbered and there are around 1400 of them remaining. NOAA has a program to manage and protect them.

  14. Are there any #immunologists here who can talk to me about IgG class-switching (more IgG4) after repeated covid vaccination? It seems pretty clear that it can happen but less clear what it might mean.

  19. Scored a stash of ancho from a market but I don't have many ideas for what to do with them beyond throwing a few in some chili.

    Ideas?
