I don’t have proof of this, but this seems like the opinion of a youngest child. No middle child would say the trifecta is the best sibling combo.

Most of my science teachers were bullies growing up. It really killed my curiosity as a kid, and I am only just now rediscovering my love of science. Everyone should be excited by science! The world is so cool and we are constantly learning new things about it!

Holy shit, and also, great blessings upon the family of the human recipient mentioned in the article for allowing their loved one with no remaining brain activity to be a test candidate to determine if their body would reject a treated kidney.

This is huge news!
UBC has developed an enzyme that can convert donor organs to type O, making them universal.
Normally a using organs of the wrong blood type causes the recipient's immune system to attack the organ, leading to failure.

Goddamn, I’ve seen a lot of AI slop being used to “celebrate” Indigenous people. You could have just posted text! Or, I dunno, commissioned an Indigenous artist! Like, fuck, man, stop killing the planet with that horseshit.

Probably my most ambitious group piece yet, just based on pure numbers - likely the only one I'll do for this campaign, oof -- 13 is a lot, folks!!!

Switching from CR to Skyward, Ho is a wonderful kind of whiplash.

It’s our wedding anniversary and my spouse got me the Lego Sherlock Holmes book nook. 😊

I desperately need to know what the deal is with Taliesin’s character. He is such a fantastic little bitch. 😆

Watching the first episode of the new CR campaign. Less than an hour into it and I have already cried twice.

I don’t know how it will work, but I need Aabria Iyengar‘s very tall orc lady to woo Laura Bailey’s tiny little fairy. Both of them are determined to romance every person at the table— together they would be unstoppable.

For sheer emotional impact, my favorite is Hozier. He packs so much punch into simple phrasing. “Butchered Tongue” gets me every single time.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

I am not saying white men shouldn’t be allowed opinions anymore, but I am saying the same dude told me that Sinners and Superman were just “meh.”
