Wow didn't realize that my Game of Life nostalgia existed until this very moment. Aww. That was so fun and lovely!

This is a spinoff of my private obsession with MLM meltdowns and the ways they look so much like religious schism. (I need amusement while cleaning today)

James Welsh is a he one I'm watching right now who isn't a lawyer but is really funny. His series on beauty brands gone wrong is awesome.

All the lawyer ones on the R&F eyelash serum were wonderful, but his is entirely solid and quoting the cases beautifully.

Wasn't this one a combo of it actually working for sailors (scurvy) and the OJ industry? Somewhere I read something on this, but it was forever ago.

Some of these are the transfer of solutions for one issue to a generalized belief and I'd bet $5 this is one.

I have no idea how we introduce people to the simple, functional solutions of the past in this era, but the pricing for all of these is hilarious.

I did not pay $30 for a plastic version of pins I have in metal from grandma. I'm not paying $40 for sticky notes. But others will.

So much of what is appearing as "innovation" is just reviving the solutions we had. "Novel note system!" = sticky notes. "New hair solution" = 19th - early 20th C types of pins. "Novel environmental solution!" = apparently daring and patching? (?!?)

Man I wish I could teleport for that day. Introducing young people to why infectious disease control is important in the most horrifying historical ways is one of my favorites.

Wait until he find out about smallpox scars. Every time I watch a movie with someone we know had scars I snark about it and someday my friends are going strangle me to get me to stop. It'll be earned, fairly.

Comic of the evening

Clean water is one of the cheapest, most effective public health interventions in history. And now so amazingly inexpensive to produce too.

I have watched that video so many times now and it does not get less adorable. How can we not all love him? (and the guy behind him who can't stop laughing)

I got online in time for olives in tacos debate, but I too missed the dunking!

At this moment, I could really use a keeper who knew what is missing in my enclosure. I need enrichment but I'm too tired to know what.

Yeah all of those descriptions seem like end of joyful super bowl commercials. Like, what's the point of watching more AI slop when I have to wade through it every day? The creativity of them was always the fun part!

If you were only several towns closer, I would buy you sadness drinks to repay the universe for the physicists that kept me sane through my field's meltdown.

Could you get my mother to believe this, please?

Nobody Wants This on Netflix - the sisters run a sex podcast. Close?
