Steam comes out of my computer as everyone rushes to google "Anika Nilles". She seems more than competent.

This was not an announcement anyone was expecting to start the week. When Neil Peart died, the general consensus among everyone–including Geddy and Alex–was that Rush was done. They’d been a team since

I’m up for that.
There's a #LunarEclipse tonight! If you're in the dark region here, and if you have a view of the Moon at the right time, you'll see the eclipse. Check www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/luna... for more info and timings for the eclipse in your location. (Here on the East Coast, totality peaks around 3am.)

Blue Bovine Steak + Sushi at Union Station in Toronto looks beautiful.
It’s a shame I’ll never find out how the food is since it’s owned by Kevin Quisling O’Leary.

Here's how I roll: if you follow me and like a post, I follow you back. The reposter whatahooee isn't as reliable, but I like when you do that too. Requote something I say with witty repartee and I'll follow you twice. Kidding. That's not a thing.

What surprised me the most was how *early* these divergences by STEM fields emerge.
By age 6, kids already see girls as worse at computer science and engineering. But...there's no early male bias for math. (I made this graph for a broader audience).
Six-year-olds have quite nuanced beliefs!

Good morning from northern Michigan, where the fall colors are showing up here and there. We still have a lot of green, and I wouldn't say we are at peak, but it won't be long.
