@MadRedHattie Is pasta in the under- or over- category?

[Dr Marilyn L Pifer @peri_pat]

@MadRedHattie Good place to work!

@MadRedHattie @stedecore @AnnLarimer Ummmm…

@MadRedHattie Why did this surprise you?

[Dr Marilyn L Pifer @peri_pat]

Of course it isn’t. A real Christmas movie is centered on the holiday. Die Hard is a fine movie but it could just as easily take place at the Fourth of July.

[Steven Pifer @steven_pifer]

Of course it is. Surprised you had to ask.

[Dr Marilyn L Pifer @peri_pat]

@steven_pifer Same approach, different ant species, different material. Equally fascinating.

Tweeps! Where can I find a licensed, professional, experienced trauma counselor able to work via video or phone now w/a Ukrainian mom processing the trauma of the last 7 days? Ukrainian lang. preferred, English is OK too. #Kyiv #Lviv #UNHCR #psychology #therapy #traumainformed

#Putin's reluctance to be physically close to his senior officials, who presumably have been vaccinated against #COVID, is really weird.

Meanwhile, in Kyiv.

@donaldpf The English ambiguities are curious. Does “freedom from” = “avoiding/overcoming” OR “journey starts with”? The implications are starkly different depending on which is applied to “jail” & which to “mental health infirmities.” Getting healthy while in jail sounds right to me.

This is a well-deserved honor. Both scientists should also get the well-deserved honorific.
Shame on @LiveScience for writing about "Katalin Karikó and Dr. Drew Weissman"

@steven_pifer But it is great fun to goad a baseball fan into a lengthy explanation of some obscure rule that applies only when there are runners on 1st and 3rd, there’s at least one out, the pitcher is left-handed, and it’s a mildly windy Tuesday. (Did I get that right?)

@steven_pifer Making fun of one‘s own foibles lengthens one’s life. Making fun of your spouse‘s foibles may shorten it.
