A doctor I trust more than RFK Jr.
Christopher Lloyd as Dr. Emmett Brown in Back to the Future. Stealing plutonium from Libyan terrorists is considerably safer than what RFK Jr is proposing.

In Repo Man (1984), Miller (Tracey Walter) explains to Otto (Emilio Estevez) that aliens exist and can travel through time in their spaceships. Also, plate 'o shrimp.

The cover of "Knocknarea" by Maruja (2023) - an excellent album, if you like experimental noise jazz post-rock.

All Nerds Matter by Steven Gimbel The list of Nobel laureates in physics, chemistry, and medicine includes men and women, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and atheists, gay men, lesbians, and cis-scientists, people from Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, and Australia. So, is the ultimate example of meritocracy also the epitome of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion? Absolutely not. All of these figures who form the zenith of human intellectual achievement come from the same small group. One and all, they are nerds. The irony of our times is that the people leading the charge to have government agencies wipe away remembrance of the achievements of people of color, women, gay and trans heroes in the name of anti-DEI not only harbor animosity for people of color, women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, they really hate nerds.

From @dannybate.bsky.social - and for the record, I agree that PIE was definitely a discourse-configurational language.
Catiline waits patiently for Cicero to reach the main verb.

Mathematics undergraduate Caleb Chalmer’s submission was awarded top honors in the Visualizing Science competition at U Texas Austin, with reviewers noting “a ghostly quality to it that becomes more interesting the longer you look.” Chalmers created his own version of what is known as the logistics map because he was so enamored with the underlying mathematics.

Paul Krugman posted this FT graphic in his substack this morning, which I found ... well, we need a word that means "frightening but informative". German is the usual source for this, so I nominate "erschreckendinformativ" to describe this graphic.
