I'd love to know instances where scientists chose certain color palettes to tell their data's story. For example, when I worked on a project in partnership with the DoD, I made use of a color palette reminiscent of the American flag.

Thanks to my co-authors, several of whom I've yet to meet in real life (how neat is scientific work?), the reviewers for seeing my vision, the 374 corresponding authors from the original projects, and the editor, who let me keep over 50 pages of refs and this silly contributions

My lili bro (kindly) invited me to a friends' party, the theme was 'dress fancy'. I was on the road to visit the family, with only sweaters and hiking gear packed. Well, my parents hadn't gotten rid of my wedding dress, I had *something* fancy to wear.
His reaction was priceless.

Just listened to Gorillaz' song Damascus, then listened again.
I was struck by the speculative fantasy of their island, Plastic Beach, and the joyful welcome of Syrian refugees to the lands.
Admittedly, Yasiin Bey makes pretty much any track better.

I heard Microsoft Word is starting to use LLM for its grammar/spelling check, which means common errors are taken as correct. In my manuscript, apparently the word 'data' isn't plural anymore.

I love the warm weather (esp paired with the cool nights right now), but this photo went across my timeline and I'm missing these wide cold expanses.

I love trying to get in close with smol animals with my phone camera. It's a challenge and I wasn't super successful with this little guy but I love him anyway. I think it's a Wyoming pocket gopher(?) outside Laramie, WY

Cleaning decades of paint off these hinges, and found the Stanley Sweetheart logo. The Stanely company used this logo in 1919 after the death of an employee, William Hart.

Even weirder for this site to seemingly be about exploring California, though I see there a bunch of AI-generated articles about things to do, as well. This one might be my favorite, perusing.
