It's hilarious that "tweed jacket" is statistically significant but dim lighting and warm room temperature are not.

Yesterday was my last day at @cenmag. I spent a gratifying 10 years there as an editor, working with a talented team to produce news and features for the magazine and @ACSCentSci. I've decided to take a break to tackle some personal projects and contemplate my next adventure.

Congratulations @corinna ! Similarly, I left my job as an executive editor at @Medscape at the end of 2022 to pursue some freelance projects.

Few notice this fact: Since "la brea" translated to English means "the tarpits," "The La Brea Tarpits" translates to "The The Tarpits Tarpits." teapawt.org/labreatarpits/status/1…
New from @scifri: La Brea #TarPits was recently named as one of the #First100Geosites and is currently planning an extensive redesign that will seek to connect visitors to research, offering lessons about climate, extinction, and survival. (1/2)
And his "not just" phraseology suggests that long Covid is not just different from CFS but also much worse. Is there any evidence of this? teapawt.org/brianvastag/status/158…

Photo taken yesterday by my neighbor Jeannette Hanby of a storm over Tucson. Has there ever been a clearer photo of the Rain God in his cloud? Looks like he’s standing at a urinal!

I will never forgive or forget how the GOP turned our daughters, sisters, wives, friends, and mothers into second class citizens. Make them pay in November.

I used to do worm composting, but I discovered naming them was difficult, since worms are both male and female. I ran out of names like Jan, Robin, and Taylor pretty fast. On the other hand, pronouns are easy: they, them, theirs. teapawt.org/paulapoundstone/status…

Yes, this. Gene Weingarten tweeted (in part) "Somehow, this country survived an idiot, evil, infantile, amoral, treasonous president. We made it through Hell." But I say, we're not entirely out of Hell yet, and we can easily be sucked back in. teapawt.org/leftbrainjenny/status/…
OMG. Trump was OK with people with AR-15s at his 1/6 rally. He wanted to go to the Capitol so badly that he tried to grab the steering wheel of the car when told he couldn't. In anger he threw plates of food against the wall in the White House, and not for the first time.
