My favourite Star Trek fact is that because the Enterprise bridge has its turbolift to the SIDE, but that turbolift is directly BEHIND the bridge on exterior of the ship, the bridge crew are canonically sitting at a 36 degree angle from the direction they're actually heading.

Apparently someone is going around selling companies this plan to get users cheaply:

1) Offer a [legit] tiny scholarship of a few hundred dollars.
2) Email colleges, asking them to forward it to students.

4) ...
5) Steal underpants.

You can't conceive of how big the cars are in America until you go. It's laughable, until you realise it's partially an arms race of everybody wanting their family to come off better in a collision. Then it's nauseating! https://twitter.com/TheEpicDept/status/1338532421583708163

I wonder if one reason we're seeing a conservative backlash against expertise in general relates to the decreasing male dominance of higher education and especially doctorates. (Source: 2015 Council of Economic Advisers report on the gender pay gap.)
