pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I appear to have inadvertently told a fib - my Twitter Blue Tick Status will only disappear on the 25th of November, so the timing of the Sky investigation wasn't as poetic as I thought it was.

Consider me stumped. Apparently, eating garlic as a man makes your armpits smell attractive to women. Who would've thought? 🧄👩❤️💋👨
PS: how any woman might come close to your armpits after smelling your breath is not something answered in the article, you animal!

The foods that make you smell more attractive
Garlic, alcohol, meat and even fasting can affect our body odour – and alter how appealing our scent is to others.

RIP Tchéky Karyo, a prolific French actor (From the Earth to the Moon, La Femme Nikita, Crying Freeman, Bad Boys, GoldenEye, The Patriot...) who went into space with the best (and only) Wing Commander movie.
It was always nice to see him. I will miss him. He was 72.

Well, here The Atlantic tries to illustrate that fear can be a very individual thing. Some of the films on the list don't strike me as terrifying at all, but some do. Saw and Blair Witch Project are the worst on this list for me

In 1519, the year Spaniards arrived in Mexico, the population there was between 15 - 30 million.
By 1600, that dwindled to 2 million.
For lots of reasons, but as much as 70% of those deaths were the result of an UNKNOWN hemorrhagic fever.
