Three frame meme of Elrond and Isildur within Mount Doom after defeating Sauron. The first is the one ring with the words "clean laundry" on it. The middie is Elrond with the text "Me: Put is away and be free of it" and the bottom is Isildur with the text "My Kids:" with the implication Isildur is about to say "no".

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

"Would you like to Zoom an archaeologist?" sounds like a pickup line I would have (unsuccessfully) used as an undergrad.

Look I know we're called Skype a Scientist but this semester the reality has been Zoom an Archaeologist lmao

Skype a Scientist @skypeascientist.bsky.social · 3d

Look I know it'll shock you to know this, but we are almost out of archeologists AGAIN.

Do you know any archeologists? Are they willing to be matched with a LEGO team?

Please send 'em our way we need all hands on deck (STILL!)

We have had 585 requests for archeologists 🫠

I lost my undergrad honors thesis when my hard drive crashed two days before I was supposed to defend it. I rewrote it in under 24 hours. AI can't feel stress and therefore it will never achieve glory.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.
