In a significantly weirder case, "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" is a 1928 oil painting by Róbert Berény. It was lost in WWII, and considered looted by the Nazis and likely destroyed afterwards in the chaos... until someone recognized it as set dressing in the movie "Stuart Little."
Yes, really.

As someone who is supposed to be flying home on Friday, this uncertainty is super fun and not at all anxiety-inducing, thanks so much to everyone involved, but especially to Delta for emailing me to tell me if they DO cancel my flight, they'll email me.
LGA Terminal B sent an email last night to its tenant airlines (United, Air Canada, JetBlue, Southwest, etc) that basically says "hey if you know wtf is going on, let us know?"
Meetings between airlines and FAA didn't happen until *last night* for operational impacts starting *Friday*. Unreal.

Can we get a 6-part prestige drama about Curtis Sliwa's career as a professional eater. Dude came in 3rd in Nathan's Famous Hotdog Eating, holds a record for most pickles, was DQed from a matzah ball eating contest for illegal ball handling, and the mob kicked him from a meatball contest.

Throw back to four years ago when I thought I had the perfect costume to wear to the Vegas Halloween show and the only reaction I got was four people asking me where the Dunkin Donuts was in the MGM Grand. Just another d-bag from Boston.

I dunked a cheese crisp into tea and it was lovely. I now pour some of the pre-grated not-really-parmesan cheese into my tea. It's all melty and delicious at the bottom of the cup. I get looks from people in my office but they are the ones missing out.

absolutely fire analysis of the crappy new Google Scholar metric
I continue to hold that the entire premise underlying all of these metrics is extremely flawed, and that what it all comes down to is unimaginative managers who are content to offload scientist performance reviews to publishing companies, resulting in a perverse incentive structure. 🧵
Just what we need in astronomy: a metric that rewards those who never do any work, or whose names begin with “Z”. 🔭🧪
