Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.
I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

Was a bit disappointed to see that one of my science heroes Stephen Jay Gould was mentioned in the Epstein files, but a) it seems like he went to the odd dinner, but died before that schmoozing network got going, and b) I shouldn’t get too invested in the personal behaviour of famous people anyway

British politics has lost a giant, a visionary.
Who else could have conceived a strategy of "Labour's route to power goes through middle England marginals and involves appearing economically credible"?
Who even believed it possible for a govt to alienate two thirds of its voters within 18 months?
