It's hilarious that "tweed jacket" is statistically significant but dim lighting and warm room temperature are not.

Congratulations @corinna ! Similarly, I left my job as an executive editor at @Medscape at the end of 2022 to pursue some freelance projects.

Yesterday was my last day at @cenmag. I spent a gratifying 10 years there as an editor, working with a talented team to produce news and features for the magazine and @ACSCentSci. I've decided to take a break to tackle some personal projects and contemplate my next adventure.

@geneweingarten My mom put that red mercurochrome on every cut or scrape I had as a kid. This was the late '50s to the early '60s. I don't recall her using merthiolate.

@RfwrightLSL I had a woodworking instructor who said that "measure twice cut once" is wrong. The "measure twice" part is correct, but once you've done that you should set a stop block or something similar, so you can cut 100 times without the need to measure.

Few notice this fact: Since "la brea" translated to English means "the tarpits," "The La Brea Tarpits" translates to "The The Tarpits Tarpits." https://t.co/r3ZG0i3hze

[La Brea Tar Pits @labreatarpits]

New from @scifri: La Brea #TarPits was recently named as one of the #First100Geosites and is currently planning an extensive redesign that will seek to connect visitors to research, offering lessons about climate, extinction, and survival. (1/2)

And his "not just" phraseology suggests that long Covid is not just different from CFS but also much worse. Is there any evidence of this? https://t.co/SsvQyJVV9J

Photo taken yesterday by my neighbor Jeannette Hanby of a storm over Tucson. Has there ever been a clearer photo of the Rain God in his cloud? Looks like he’s standing at a urinal!

@jetjocko I taught my daughter (who's now 20) to drive on a 1999 Subaru Outback with a manual transmission. She came to love driving a stick. Sadly, "Subie" is no more, and she may never have a chance to drive a stick again.

I will never forgive or forget how the GOP turned our daughters, sisters, wives, friends, and mothers into second class citizens.

Make them pay in November.
