I mean, I assumed *by now* we would be using fossilized mosquitos to clone dinosaurs in an ethically questionable theme park, so by that measure the fieldwork is mostly pretty mundane TBH
I had the same disillusionment with both Paleontology (mostly studying microorganisms in ice cores) and Astronomy (ALL THE MATH). Modern society/culture has fed the STEM-curious 40-something a bill of goods and I AM NOT HERE FOR IT
THE SEQUEL TO THAT IS OUT TOO? Big if true #TWSS
This is 100% the correct response. (The article notes: this is still a dessert because it starts from a vanilla ice cream base. To which I reply, "Oh, is that supposed to improve this?")
Although I am 3rd generation Midwesterner, I am a ranch-skeptic (and native of Chicago) and thus my Midwest cred is seen as suspect by many. This notwithstanding, let me burnish said cred when I say: What Madness Is This
I was going for a Felix Frankfurter joke in response to this, but I couldn't find it. BEHOLD THE RAVAGES OF AGE, THEY COME FOR US ALL
I "Liked" this but I of course very much do NOT like the prospect of additional back pain. As a bonus I now am old enough that I get to worry about it being kidney stones. Yay?
Thus far 44 feels much like 43, except with more back pain. #HappyBirthdayToMe #Old
People focusing on the first half of this assertion, but let us not forget that the second half is equally, if not more, suspect. cf. Iraq 2, Afghanistan, etc.
I truly cannot tell whether they just don't hear themselves, or if they hear it and don't care, or if they're just that stupid. (Not ruling out all 3!)
Now to work on the other 364 days of the year. (Thank you for birthday wishes <3)

What in the name of Ted Lasso is this nonsense
I ain't QPing the N64 guy because that take is clearly bait, but also he is obviously wrong and equally obviously people ganged up on him in Goldeneye a bunch
"Brad maybe you should take apart one of your other Sultai decks fir--" YOU CAN HAVE MY MULDROTHA SUPERFRIENDS DECK WHEN YOU TEAR IT FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS. WHICH I WILL THEN REANIMATE
Jorn God of Winter
Back in the day I built a super fun Brawl deck with this dude as commander. Never picked up a paper copy to rebuild IRL. Maybe ill buy myself the cards for my birthday
Someone do the meme. Pleeeeeease. You know you want to, I know you want to. It's like he's ASKING for it to be done. #DasWarEinBEFEHL
Brad, 20 years ago: "I have nothing but disdain for this trend, you people are not Michigan and never will be. My respect for the admin of library schools cannot sink any lower."
Brad, today: "HEY PAST ME GUESS WHAT"
Ah, there we go. I'll delete my comment repeating this. Reading the entire thread FTW
I'm not saying that humanities scholars, as a rule, were *necessarily* burned by Group Projects in elementary and high school and the single-author bias comes from that. But I'm not NOT saying that, either
Come for the smart Humanities take, stay for the FAQ
I literally just had a visceral flashback to 1990. AM I GOING TO HAVE TO BUY THIS COMMANDER DECK?? Dear God, all my worst fears realized
Show me someone who didn't read the flavor text in the Krang voice and I will show you a young'un. YOUNG'UN I SAY. #OrMaybeImJustOld #OrBoth!
LED Soundsystem is both very good and referencing two niche interests such that the number of people who are likely to get is is likely in 5 digits worldwide. Well DONE.
"Have we tried 'making things better for most people in ways that affect them immediately'" "Seems like a lot of work and expensive, hard pass"
It's very cool that this is all happening during America 250, which I must assume is a celebration of a year with no modern-day parallel or historical applicability whatsoever
But Funding, Perry. FUNDING. Can't offend the legislature/Congress, gotta keep that firehose run-- I'm sorry, I've just been informed that the firehose has been downgraded to a squirt gun. Well, nevertheless
Gallup to America: "I don't want to see you die!... Which is why I am leaving the room." (Why yes, I did just watch Honor Among Thieves again this weekend.)
Very frustrated that I did not write this pun cavalcade. Im grinding my... um... something
