The #1 thing I tell all my students is to never use any electronic device with capacitors inside of it. No exceptions

The timing makes clear that this was in response to the Holiday video, in which I take such stances as "The Iraq War was bad", "Defending marginalized people is good", and "It's worth imagining and fighting for a better future". I would genuinely love to know which of those was this dude's Rubicon.

The government could have finally brought Royal Mail into public ownership.

It sold it to a Czech billionaire instead.

We are being ripped off. It’s time to put Royal Mail back where it belongs: in public hands.

Every year, I choose to give to charity publicly. I figure that due to my platform & your generosity they'll benefit more than if I donate privately.

I understand that money's tight, so please only give if you can afford to. & I don't expect anyone to match my donation!

Me: we all have the same 25 hours

Friend: you mean 24 hours?

Me, realizing my friend can’t afford the secret 25th hour: yes

They've taken away my ability to fuck myself by adding 0 to null. This is emasculating. It is literally femdom. I've been sissyfied

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

— Stephen Jay Gould, The Panda’s Thumb: More Reflections in Natural History
If talent and opportunity were equally distributed, the average #NobelPrize winner would come from a middle income background.

The reality? The average laureate grew up in a household just below the top 10%. More than 50% come from the top 5%.

Me watching a film.

1. Start watching.

2. Wonder what I’ve seen one of the actors in before.

3. Google actor.

4. Go to IMDb/their Wikipedia page.

5. Find out every single detail of their entire life.

6. Realise I’ve completely missed the plot of the film and now have no idea what’s going on.
