  8. When sending someone your thoughts and prayers, remember that you can also pray to the Eldritch gods.

  9. 📰 In today's installment of "science fiction becomes science fact," Ars Technica reveals that "butt breathing" could be a legit medical treatment—because who doesn't want to turn their backside into a pair of lungs? 😂 Apparently, someone thought the human body wasn't absurd enough. 🚀

  13. #ScienceFact - The scientific name for the Western Lowland Gorilla sounds like the incantation for summoning a gorilla.

    #ScienceFact One of the best ways of pushing back on the ridiculous propaganda that the right spews is through ridicule and laughter.

    I loved Harris' line to dismiss Trump's criticism, "The same old show." It echos Reagan's "There you go again." Perfect.

    Actually, #ScienceFact, we are all emotional decision-makers. The rational part of our brain is only there to make up a good excuse for what we've done.

    When our actions and values don't quite line up, as they are doing for many on the MAGA side and the extreme left, we use cognitive dissonance to help convince ourselves that they are aligned and we don't have to change at all.

    The person who cuts down the last tree in the Amazon rainforest will have a good reason for it.

  16. Guten Morgen! Was war gestern schön was hat euch gefreut? Es sind die kleinen Dinge die zählen. Wenn ihr mögt, lasst eure #diekleinendinge hier.

    Hier: gab es Spargel. Der enthält Asparagusinsäure. Deren Abbau führt zu schwefelhaltigen Produkten die über den Urin ausgeschieden werden und zum charakteristischen Geruch führen. Aufgrund einer einzigen Base Unterschied in der DNA Sequenz eines Gen entwickeln diesen Geruch nur etwa 40-80% der Menschen. #ScienceFact #SlowFood #spargel

  17. Shout out to you, if like me you heard the news about the #ESA #juiceMisson launch and went, "Hey! That's one of the #satellites that will eventually become sentient in the year 17776!"

    If not, I got you fam.
    Make a cup of tea.
    This will take some time.
    It's OK, it's not *really* about football.
    I promise it's worth it. ♥

    ☝️ Hey you, despot "presidents" of #russia and #china, Jean-Luc's got your number! 🖕

  23. My latest #writingresearch discovery: there's no reason we're dependent solely on blood donations. Oxygen-carrying #blood can be harvested from corpses up to 6-8 hours after death!

    "For twenty-eight years, the Sklifosovsky Institute [in Moscow] happily transfused cadaver blood, some twenty-five tons of the stuff, meeting 70 percent of its clinics needs." - Mary Roach, Stiff

    It's like using statistics of an engine to guess how long your engine will last with the amount or upkeep you do. The science is taking it apart and analysing the ware and other factors for the period or use. Then they can determine with much more accuracy. I hope this helps you to understand the truth.

    #ScienceFact Thinking hurts. People avoid it whenever possible, and it's always possible.

  26. Finally, an #introduction.

    My name is Tim, I’m 49 years old, and I have FSH #MuscularDystrophy. I live in a neurological centre in the UK, and I write about living with a #disability (link in my bio).

    I was a programmer when I worked (dBase and #FoxPro), and still tinker for fun, mostly in #PHP.

    I like #ScienceFiction and #ScienceFact , especially #astronomy / space-based stuff, and consume related movies and books. I have music on at every possible moment in my day.

    I adore #dogs and #cats.
