Doing homework with my son.
Son: So now I am supposed to use that formula to figure out how many minutes there are in one year.
Dr.Maddkap: H-how many … (sweating)
Son: What? It’s how many minutes are in a year.
Dr.M: (nods, gritting teeth)
Son: Dad what? You use the fraction to-
Dr.M: (leaping up and singing) FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED MINUTES
Son: O.O
Mrs.M: (from the other room) Daddy was a theatre kid.
Dr.M: (panting)

This is an article that took a lot of strength to write and I might take it down again. But I felt like it is an article that is very necessary right now. https://bastianallgeier.com/notes/grandpa

yesterday i learned about lesbian chess. it's just like regular chess, except for two critical differences:
1. the king is replaced by a second queen
2. instead of checkmating the king, the win condition is *capturing every last one of your opponent's pieces*
so it's both a far more aggressive game and one with a totally different set of strategic considerations for e.g. when to make a sacrifice or hold a strong piece back

re: metazooa spoilers for 167
@efi its not really a latin mistake, accipitrinae is a subfamily of accipitridae, just the wrong one
re: metazooa spoilers for 167
@efi the answer was in Accipitridae but the game said it was in Accipitrinae (a subfamily that includes a different set of species). like i said, a subtle mistake but one that cost me a number of guesses
I just discovered https://phanpy.social/ , and this is the most excited I've been about a Mastodon web client since that one that looked like Google+. And this time I'm actually excited about useful things, specifically:
- thread support that often displays the thread inline on my timeline and always comes with a very prominent indicator that I'm seeing something from a thread
- an optional "boosts carousel" that separates boosts into their own timeline-goes-sideways chunks every so often
re: metazooa spoilers for 167
@efi true, but when you're using it as the clues for your puzzle guessy game it's kind of important to get it correct

i am upset about this one because the taxonomy is subtly but objectively incorrect
