I hope you’re all enjoying this descent into madness.

The important thing to remember is what while I can’t sing, neither can eels, so this little jingle is very scientifically accurate.

So please. Get an eel facts advent calendar. You don’t have to wait until Christmas for eels. EelFacts.Net

Get out your lab notebook and start observing your surroundings, McAnulty. You're getting rusty! We're gonna have to take you off the force if you keep missing these things.

I don't even want to tell him that I saw it because what the fuck that's TOO MUCH.

Who else is in my habitat and I am just... not noticing patterns right in front of me???? I thought I was good at noticing patterns? GUESS NOT.

Y'know when you learn a new word then hear it constantly?

I met a new person last week.
Realized I see their shit every time I pick up printer orders
Next day, ran into him.
Today, in the burbs at a book shop, saw a book cover that looked like their style & was like "Hang on, that CAN'T be..." YUP.

😈 "They never read your posts anyway, Sarah. Post it Sarah, it was evocative and self-deprecating. You love being self-deprecating."

Don't subtweet them even if your post was really funny, Sarah. Just text that to your friends, Sarah. Go paint your pictures in a private group chat SARAH.

Ew ew ew just for an ad for one of those AI assistants in which a woman asks it to write a haiku about her cat.

You can’t write a 3 line, 17 syllable poem about your cat?????

What is being alive for if not writing tiny little poems about your cat??!!

Add this to my joker file. Good lord.

Being in opposition to Trump is necessary but not sufficient for me to like you. It's ok to have standards that are higher than "against Trump" for our leaders.

I love shitting on social media as much as the next guy, but Skype a Scientist was built directly from social media connections.

We've matched over 60,000 classrooms with scientists from it...

That's pretty great.
