Is it worse to have the gene variant that hates cilantro or the variant that loves milk chocolate? I have both of these gene variants and my partner has neither.

He's exactly as good of a spy as he needs to be to advance the plot -- steals files in TTSS, lets Westerby escape in THB. He's exactly as clueless as he needs to be to ask questions as the audience surrogate.

Was going to write a long thread about why Peter Guillam (a.k.a. Blonde Sherlock) is not a good spy in John le Carre's Quest for Karla trilogy, but realized it's pointless.

Forecasters are tracking a number of tropical disturbances in the Atlantic and Pacific, and it's important you stay ready with hurricane season ramping up. Meet Commander Kevin Doremus, who flies into storms with the NOAA, P-3 Orion Hurricane Hunter. His team has a plan - do you? #HurricanePrep

Friend from grad school's wedding. Episcopal, I think. Bond Chapel. 20 people present. Crickets.

Tim Onion @bencollins.bsky.social · Jul 31

Has anyone actually ever been at a wedding where they ask the crowd if anybody objects? Is that a thing that at least used to happen, or was that just in movies? Because, you've gotta hand it to 'em, it is a VERY funny idea, having a readily available "Anybody wanna ruin this?" button.

So proud of Dr. Kristina Adams Waldorf for her powerful Op-Ed in The Seattle Times highlighting an overlooked truth: men get breast cancer too. Awareness & advocacy are critical. Please read & share! www.seattletimes.com/opinion/brea...

Breast cancer strikes men, too. My husband is one of them | Op-Ed

We need to encourage doctors to ask their male patients about their risk factors for breast cancer and examine their chest for lumps, as they do in women.
