Ok nerds, who’s going to WSN?

[Rwake Yohn @SlayerRules_420]

The only serious answer for this is large quantities of assorted prescription mood and sleep regulating medications. Anything less is just empty pandering.

This feels like a weird moment to post a niche complaint tweet, but it is really annoying that @SciReports doesn't require authors to use line numbers but they ALSO don't allow reviewers to upload the submission with annotations. How are we supposed to make decent comments?

@Fish_Fetisher 🙌🙌🙌

@JimStudiesFish @friel They still look like they want to pick a fight

@fakehistoryhunt It’s a much smaller scale, but the sidewalks in Honolulu’s chinatown have been paved with ballast stones from 19th century ships, and the city has recently begun ripping them up, much to my chagrin. The worst is that they just break up the stones and throw them in a landfill.

@IwriteOK This is true. When I was 16 the Greyhound I was riding from the Bay Area to Portland broke down in Redding. While I was wandering around the parking lot I saw not one, but two trucks with bumper stickers that said: "that better be a tan".

they should probably find a better pitch heading into an election year than “we can’t do popular things because of process but we’ll always do unpopular things despite process”

Odd Nerdrum has long been a personal favorite and I find Man Imitating a Cloud to be particularly arresting.

If you see this tweet, you have to mention one of your favorite paintings.

I saw this painting by Gerard François, Flora Caressed by Zephyr (1799), at a super upscale fine art sale years ago and I’ve never stopped thinking about it. I wonder where it is now?

A good day to contemplate the war crimes we could stop right now

prisoners are our compass
I am a prison abolitionist because I am Palestinian
free them all

@Fish_Fetisher Keep an eye out for the kererū, they’re so much better.

@PREAUX_FISH Thanks, Prosanta

Come hang at #IPFC next week! I'll be presenting on mesophotic squirrelfishes (and soldierfishes). Originally a Josh Copus joint!

(wednesday @ 4:15 in Session A)

[dr. mykle hoban @thefishbotherer]

Like, I know it's hard and and it takes a lot of time, but it's part of the job!

[dr. mykle hoban @thefishbotherer]

Editors: please also actually read the paper being reviewed and not just the reviews of the paper. Thank you.

(I say this as a reviewer, not as an author dissatisfied with reviews)

@KrangTNelson Who wore it better?

(John Pertwee definitely wore it better)
