Geoff: Getting a mixed-color pair is twice as likely as a pair of the same color? That can’t be right.

Geoff, an hour later, surrounded by scribbled pages: Cards are weird.

I asked my doctor about getting the vax but he said it's running the entire hospital's medical records system and I can't have it

My Women in Computing History class students are improving some history of computing pages this week. And so many of their well-thought-out and useful edits are getting reverted. One student added a quote and reference from Janet Abbate’s award-winning book Recoding Gender...

Cleaning the kitchen table with a vacuum:

Classical music: Heaving Bassoons

.@netflix is pushing something called "Skylines", but it's part 3 of a trilogy. They have the other 2 parts ... but part 1 is only on DVD.

Quick, hivemind! I'm about to donate platelets; the process takes long enough to watch a movie on @netflix. I need something that won't put me to sleep, because that makes them nervous. What should I watch?

My wife has been enjoying the @Heaving_Bosoms podcast. I'd like to propose some spinoffs:

Particle physics: Heaving Bosons
Nautical fiction: Heaving Boatswains
Clown mathematics: Heaving Bozo(n, s)

Thrilled to announce I have changed religions!! I now worship at the altar of Gmail's "undo send" feature, which saved a wretch like me from accidentally emailing someone this message/attachment combo

@jedpressfate Personally, any form of storytelling that doesn't rely on the strenghts of the medium is poor. The best stories I've seen in games come from gameplay, not videos or pieces of flavour text.

Y’all wanna see an unbothered seal?

Violet: *comes to class*

Student leaving at end of class: *turns around to look at Violet*

Me: Are you hoping she'll follow you home?

Student: I'm just taking another look. She's all the serotonin I have left.

I have never heard from anyone who has been subjected to an open office plan and not hated it.

You know that free-floating sense that multinational corporations are above the law, able to buy their way out of consequences for even the most blatant, heinous crimes?

There's a (nearly) unbelievable, highly concrete example of it underway right at this moment.

A priest, a pastor and a rabbit walked in to blood donation clinic.

The nursed asked the rabbit: "What is your blood type?"

"I am probably a type O" said the rabbit.
