Hopefully this is the last one (fleeing that other place)...anyway! History, birds, travel, genealogy. Technically a lawyer.

bro this lady on Jeopardy was deep in third place going into Final Jeopardy, and she didn’t know the answer so she just wrote β€œi hope they both bet it all” and the other two guys fucking bet it all and got it wrong and she won

All of these stories are terrible but it's the bigger picture that terrifies me even more.

The US only has 350m people. If you can't turn a profit without access to the US market that's ONLY because of our dysfunctional for-profit healthcare system.

Today it's vaccines.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

Fun fact: writers don't 'finish' books, we just eventually stop editing before we spiral into madness.

Small gray and brown bird perched on a snowy branch, shown in close-up with a striped head, yellow facial markings, and a soft pale background.

There's a perfect snowflake on the top of its head.

I think they are actively getting kidnapped by a bus driver? Like, happening right now somewhere near DC?

Bears fans come together with the help of cheese graters, both real and fake

Thousands of shoppers have forked over $39.99 for the oversized β€œgraterhead hat,” which went viral on social media after Bears receiver DJ Moore was spotted wearing the hat after the team’s dramatic win against the Packers on Dec. 20.
