And now, I will never not picture a skeksis’s LinkedIn profile when I hear about Junior.
He looks like if the skeksis had LinkedIn. He looks like gargamel trying to rope the smurfs with a ponzi scheme. But he mainly looks like a privileged idiot dipshit that thinks he's smart but has hapsburg brain

Did you know. That the meme-explosion that was the wooden model of Sacabambaspis (an Ordovician jawless fish) held at a Museum in Helsinki, was created by a pioneering Estonian fish paleontologist and palaeoartist, Elga Mark-Kurik. 🧵

Before there was a vaccine, when I was little, I had rotavirus. I got hospitalized twice!

RFK Jr. has just unilaterally declared that the CDC will stop recommending several vaccines for children.
As best I can tell, the vaccines RFK Jr. Will no longer recommend are HepB, rotavirus, RSV, COVID19, Hepatitis A, and influenza.

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you:
I'm 17 with pneumonia. I had a 108° fever and I’m pretty sure I had a NDE, where I saw my still-alive great grandmother who told me “Get your ass back to bed. I’m going instead of you.”
I woke up, my fever broke with my mom telling me she had died.

A bit late in sharing, but we've successfully rotary-cored sediment under 523m of the ice sheet at Crary Ice Rise! This was a whole team effort, with special mention to our drillers and hot water crew. Watch the moment we got our first glimpse of the sediment we’ve been waiting on for so long.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
