One of my favorite moments from Nobel Prize history:
The Nobel Committee couldn’t reach Stanford professor Paul Milgrom to let him know that he had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics, so his fellow winner, Robert Wilson, went over to his house in the middle of the night to wake him up!

Following you down the antimacassar rabbit hole: the chair protectors were so called after Rowland's Macassar Oil, a hair oil made of imperial plant products, chiefly coconut and palm oil. Its exotic name evoked the Indonesian port of Makassar, then in the Dutch East Indies. Just look at this ad!

A new @reuters.com poll finds Americans have a dim view of many of the Trump administration's blizzard of executive actions, including the Jan. 6 pardons and his effort to limit birthright citizenship.
But they *really* don't like the Gulf of America thing.

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

I quite like the idea that the Garrick lads had to have an emergency meeting about admitting women and someone was all, "Ok, how about... hmm... ok, who are like the main seven or so women?"
I genuinely think it would be impossible for you to find a group of people I think *less* of than the people who resigned from the Garrick this month. We’re being asked to believe Simon Case only just noticed it didn’t admit women!
