Brutal. It has a gross a LOT of things and the solutions probably need to be more than cosmetic!

At least the contrast makes the gunge and damage all the more noticeable?

really getting "nothing is real anymore and we've apparently all agreed that's fine" vibes from this Zillow listing

don't show me what it would theoretically look like if it didn't have a gross carpet! it has a gross carpet!

Fake-ass image of a living room with a nice floor, curtains, and furniture. It does say "Photo digitally renovated and staged" in the bottom right corner, at least.

The living room in real life, with an old, discolored carpet and ugly greenish curtains.

Worst case scenario, you have a never-fail way to summon a tolerant but sightly exasperated sigh from your spouse just by starting in "Did you know-“

I was reading ‘The Fabric of Civilisation: how textiles made the world’ for fun on Thursday - was answer Qs for a local scout group using stuff that was in it on Saturday. No knowledge is wasted. #StayCurious

One of the major fruits of research is delight. Think of how often you’ve read about a discovery and really enjoyed it. Often the most pleasurable kind of news. Public delight isn’t discussed enough as one of the major outputs of funding research.

I strongly recommend everyone do research sometimes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯.

Look something up on Wikipedia. Go to the little citation. Follow it. Read the article it's referencing. Follow links to the original interview. Read the paper written by the interviewee

It genuinely makes you appreciate journalism

So many Canadians thinking “it can’t happen here” while it is creeping in from all sides. Power and money, folks. We need class solidarity asap because they sure have it.

The Canadian Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research is launching a US-style attack on EDI in Tri-Council funding.

As part of this attack, they are demanding disclosure of confidential demographic info + reviewer comments of all Canadian researchers who have applied b/w 2000-2025.

Maxime Blanchette-Joncas:
I'm tabling the following motion:
That the committee request the three funding councils, namely the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), as part of the study on the impact of federal funding allocation criteria on research excellence in Canada, to provide it with the disaggregated data of all submitted applications, whether funded or not, for all student and faculty funding programs from the master's level onwards for applications made between 2020 and 2025. That this data include (1) demographic data of applicants and collaborators, including applicants' responses to the equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) questionnaire, (2) the institutions and departments of applicants, including the institutions of collaboration, (3) the language of the application, (4) all data regarding the type of application and project content (application year, grant program, discipline, title, summary, amount requested by the applicant), as well as (5) the identity of the evaluation committee, comments, opinions, scores assigned to applications for each criterion, and (6) the outcome of the application and the amount awarded. That the three funding councils submit all this data to the committee within 15 days following the adoption of this motion, in an Excel spreadsheet format.

I sometimes do a Yule activity of putting little bits of paper in a jar with reminders of things I can do or even just think about that make me a tiny bit happy! Pick one anytime till morale improves

I'm trying to use Bluesky to sell tickets to my comedy special taping. Don't make me promote on Twitter. I'd rather have an empty house. But it'd be so much nicer if it were full.

And also maybe a bit of "if I say it out loud that means I managed to come up with the thought process and that seems bad?"
