OPEN BAR: NO CISNORMATIVE ELVEN PATRIARCHS ALLOWED

Sometimes I find myself missing the time when conspiracy theorists were adorably batshit. Then I find this and my heart rejoices.

That is fantastic. I'm going to start disabling the moon right now while simultaneously not to letting it know I'm thinking about it - don't want it blocking my downloads and upgrades now

FFS, this asshole on my FB Wall. Seriously, she constantly responds to shit I say, but she's just some random beadmaker who thinks we're friends.

I am not even going to look at whatever it is she's spouting about now, because I'm pretty sure it'll piss me off.

Oh good I was just wondering if I should engage in mockery. 

I'm going to go with "go for it".

It would be one thing if she watched the talk and had a different take on it, but to respond to a link on my wall with, essentially, "LOL didn't watch but I don't like it" is essentially trolling, which means she issued the opening salvo and is inviting whatever flak she gets back.

I somehow managed to write two half-assed paper summaries this morning. Now I have five minutes to enjoy my tea before rushing off to the lab.

What sort of a person walks into a college accomodation at 3:20 in the morning, wanting to ask about course details?

This isn't a rhetorical question, btw.  It's genuine.  Because the only explanations I can come up with for that, and the surrounding sequence of events, is a deeply unpleasant one.

Two men.  Locals, by the accent.  Driving a very nice car, without the diction or age to suggest they acquired it legitimately.  Stayed outside in the car for a good 15 minutes, did a sweep of the street before entering.  We don't realise they're not our students, let them in.  They start asking questions: is this a college, what courses do you provide?  When we explain it's not, just the accomodation, they start asking about the ages.  They then bugger off.  Sit in the car another 10 minutes, finally leave.

Had a friend outside, too.  Spoke to him as they walked down the street.  Friend didn't arrive in the car with them though, or leave.

IMO, they were clearly casing the joint.  Check for activity on street, CCTV.  Same for the outside, and reception, of this building.  Go inside to see what kind of personnel and security are present.  Notably they did not enter the University College London accomodation, just two buildings down from here.

Oh great. The part where they were asking about ages isn't creepy as fuck at ALL. 

Oh yeah, that was fun.

Even better, the email reporting this incident was sent about, oh, 11 hours ago.

Still no response from management.

UMass Amherst announced today that Neil Degrasse Tyson would be speaking at commencement this year. If it is not true it is the cruelest April Fools prank. If it is true then I hate them because they are young and beautiful and I wake up to pee in the middle of the night now and all I got was a lousy Bill Pullman at my commencement. FUCK YOU BILL PULLMAN.

[Eater of Clowns]

All Bill Pullman did was sit there, not giving Independence Day speeches or wishing the schwartz would be with us, sucking up all our honorary degrees.

Last night I dreamt of being in a shopping cart that was slowly pushed through a large grey-alien intergalactic Kostco.  Greetings!

Sorry for your loss TPZ.   May all the cancer be fucked.

So, a friend of mine is having some trouble with this guy who has been harassing her online for 3 years. She is a writer and has had to put up with intermittent smear campaigns  of her work from this guy. She has responded to this rather awesomely IMO by creating an online alter ego that she plans on using to promote he projects where this guy cant shit all over them. Her strategy with this guy has been to leave him "howling into a void" as much as possible, and not give him any attention, negative or otherwise. I respect this strategy to a certain extent, but part of me can't stand to see one of my good friends treated this way, especially over years. Should i stay out of it to respect her wishes, or look into some form of mindfuckery?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I have good news! I talked to Dr. Snake Brain Science today and she's giving me a spot in her lab, and my own project!

It's really an offshoot of one of the grad students' projects, but it's a little something to call my own. Snake brains! Yay!

Yes.

But if that doesn't work, give the asshole's name to the wrong people.

Dok,

SNAKE BRAINS.

I will be investigating the effect of elevated glucocorticoids during mating & gestation on offspring seasonal neurogenesis in juvenile Sirtalis parietalis.

I feel like a big girl scientist!
