TIL that an "idiot plot" is "one which is 'kept in motion solely by virtue of the fact that everybody involved is an idiot', and where the story would quickly end, or possibly not even happen, if this were not the case."
Anyway, I'm watching "Hijack" on Apple TV.

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆
Olympics Dog was chasing the motorized camera they have to capture the competitors at the finish line, then decided to chase some competitors instead

over a year ago, i gave a talk at the xoxo conference about a mural, a mcdonald’s, and a man. (but it was also secretly about life, and legacy, and meaning.)
finally, i’m blogging the full story, with behind-the-scenes details, and a video of the talk.

Key Points Question: Is long-term intake of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee associated with risk of dementia and cognitive outcomes? Findings: In this prospective cohort study of 131 821 individuals from 2 cohorts with up to 43 years of follow-up, 11 033 dementia cases were documented. Higher caffeinated coffee intake was significantly associated with lower risk of dementia. Decaffeinated coffee intake was not significantly associated with dementia risk. Meaning: Higher caffeinated coffee intake was associated with more favorable cognitive outcomes.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

It’s wallet-sized proof of citizenship.
Yep. Just been thinking about it as an alternative to what I'm doing now, which is carrying my passport book everywhere just in case.
Have you ever had trouble using the passport card, like someone not believing it’s a real ID? I’ve thought about getting one, but so few people know they exist, I’ve been wondering if it’s even worth the trouble.
I… think need a social media break.
I split my favorite pants in public on January 2nd, so I guess that’s how this year is going to be.
