In one of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, there's a scene where a planet is doomed — so they divide society into three groups to evacuate:
#1: the best and brightest
#2: management consultants and marketing execs
#3: builders and doers
The planet sends off Ship 2 first, convincing them they are the best folks to start populating a new world.
But then you slowly realize that Ships 1 and 3 never actually intend to follow behind them... because the original planet has never actually been in danger.
They just wanted the consultants gone. 😂
Dune 2 is an audio-visual treat. Scene after scene put together with economic precision. Impressive actors hitting the cues, in every single line. And so utterly dead. 150+ minutes devoid of emotional anchors. No one to root for or against. What the hell happened?
FUNGUS IN SPACE!!! 🍄🚀
Equal parts cosmic horror and nature being metal, let's talk about the lichen that grew on the OUTSIDE of the International Space Station!
Get your tea and curl up, because I PROMISE you wanna hear about these fungal cosmonauts 🧑🚀

In 1954, a crowd gathered to witness an unusual fight in Baroda. The challenger was Baba Pehelwan, a towering figure, pitted against a Muslim woman. The stakes were staggering -if she lost,she had to marry him. But what unfolded next was nothing short of legendary. A thread. 1/14
Dear Journalists covering tomorrow's IPCC report release,

Second of all, here are a couple of questions you should not be asking climate scientists, ever ever ever.
A newly laid road dug up in front of Asset Aura Gunjur Palya. An autorickshaw overturned recently. Please fix before more accidents. @east_bengaluru@MTF_Mobility@BbmpEast @BBMPCOMM
@makemytripcare I attempted a hotel booking for which amount has gotten fully deducted from my card, but MMT app is unable to confirm the booking. There is no way to avail customer support for this issue via the app either. Request you to please sort this or refund my money.
@SwiggyCares delivery personnel stop several hundred meters from the location provided and call stating they are at the spot. Are you sure your maps are correct? This has happened more than once.
@zenx I cannot define it but the day I go to bed thinking "tomorrow I will do something worthwhile" would be when I would be rich enough (maybe?). I don't think it has to do with money but I am not yet wise enough to figure out what it is. 37.
This is the only Corona to have. Get vaccinated. Encourage your friends and family to overcome misgivings towards the vaccine. Follow protocol nevertheless.
