The other night on Jeopardy, two players were tied going into final. The woman in third made a small wager and her answer was, "I hope they both bet everything." They both did, all three got it wrong, and she won. As if that wasn't already hilarious enough, turns out it was all a master plan!

Okay but she posted on Reddit after the broadcast that she realized partway through Double Jeopardy that this was her only way to win, and started deliberately picking clues/buzzing in to maximize the odds that they would be tied going into Final. Absolute galaxy brain.
The DJ round though, hooo boy.There were so many clues I felt I knew but just wasn’t quite sure enough to buzz, especially after jusssst missing the second DD (if only I had literally 1-2 more seconds!) So after missing that, I told myself to hold back and NOT NEG. I really didn’t want to go red as I found it challenging to get in when we all knew the answer. There was no guarantee I’d pick up enough buzzes to claw my way back. As the game got down to the wire I looked at the scores and realized I didn’t have enough ground to overtake them. And with the difficulty of DJ I thought the odds of me being the sole solve on FJ were basically nil. But they were verrrrry close to one another. So my best chance was to try to force a tie, as them each having to bet it all was my only path to victory. For the last few clues I held back, watching them volley. Then, with two clues remaining the scores were 7200, 7600 with $800 in play. I knew I HAD to get one of the last two $400 clues to leave the right amount on the board. Somehow the buzzer gods smiled on me, and I managed to nab the second to last clue, then didn’t buzz on the final clue, just praying Isaac got it instead of Josh

A nice anecdote to cap the night. Today was an especially long day. As I got out of the car, a group of young black kids maybe 6-8 yrs were out playing. I let Willow out of my car & heard the little girl say: “A dog! Dogs are scary!” The little boy said “They’re ok. Thats Willow & The Professor”

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.
Image of Charles Darwin quotes, with the recipient of the letter and the date the letter was written. He said "I hate every wave of the ocean" to W.D. Fox on 15 February 1836, "Oh my God how I do hate species and varieties" to J.D. Hooker in 11 March 1858, "I am very tired, very stomachy, and hate nearly the whole world" to Thomas Huxley on 10 September 1860, "I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything" to Charles Lyell on 1 October 1861, "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" to John Lubbock on 3 September 1862, and "I am languid and bedeviled and hate writing and hate everybody" to J.D. Hooker on 23 June 1863.

Below it says, Proud to announce that I effectively executed a rapid-response squirrel displacement strategy to mitigate potential yard intrusions.
