Oh yeah! I got to play with #LiquidNitrogen at work the other week. It was a strike off my bucket list!

"If the band kids and the theater kids work together to prevent me from stealing their lunch money, it's only fair that I demand far more lunch money from them next week!

How dare they deny me -- their best friend! -- of my right to take their lunches? Terrible allies! The worst! I insist they stop bullying me immediately!"

I got into an Uber earlier and the first thing the driver said was "I love you"...

So, 5 stars, right?

Anyway, not quite knowing how to respond, I said, "I love YOU"...
He frowned at me and asked why I would say that!?

And this was when I realised he had been talking to his wife on the phone...

Elon is not the richest man in the world because he sells the most cars. He doesn't sell nearly enough cars to be that rich.

Elon is the richest man in the world, because a lot of people (like you! 🀑) own his stocks.

The easiest person for you to convince to own less of that stock, is yourself.

Given the increasing number of bird flu taking the vector bird > cow > human, I'm betting on bird flu. And unless it loses some potency in the transition, the human transmissible variant of bird flu will make COVID look like a mild cold.

Just in time for another pandemic. My money's on measles but I also like being surprised.

This isn’t cost reduction. This is vital service in health and safely reduction. This is a reduction of life saving services.

I’d say β€œa pox on all the non-Kamala voters” - except the legitimately suppressed, of course - but we’re all going to get a pox anyway. Thanks a million.

β€œSpring rolls are up! Tell Darlene to move her ass.”

I haven’t worked for #PBS or #NPR, but I’ve collaborated with both to share #science stories.

The talented people there are always thoughtful, curious & kind. They’ve gifted us Mister Rogers, Carl Sagan, Julia Child, LeVar Burton & Elmo. 🌈

It’s appalling to see members of Congress attack them for political points.

And with the gutting of all the responsible agencies and firing of reputable scientists, we won't know unless some other country finds out.

At the time I got married, 13 years ago, I lived in a flat. I liked it cos it was a short walk from the train station. Good for getting home after late nights out.

My wife moved in. One day she said, "The only problem with this flat is that it's a long walk from the station."

Long?

Turns out it's short if you go thru the woods & by the dark underpass, a route a woman would never think of taking.

And that was my 1st lesson in how we inhabit the same space but live in different worlds.
