buisinesses mislabeling their job offers in databases gives so much unintentional comedy, I just searched under “no experience needed” and “no degrees needed” and it gave me a job opening for ‘dentist’. Like sure I’ll have a go, give me the pliers
you’re all missing out on how bonkers the original promo pic is
malpractice orgy, shoes on the bed, cuddy inexplicably the only one barefoot, every fandom has fanart of the infinite bed cuddle pile but house md made it a real promo art, my medical team and yes they smoke weed
The workplace attire stays ON during sex, the princeton plainsboro polycule threatens to expand to other teaching hospitals, the whole group chat, bedtimes md, everybody lies (down to sleep)
i just realized Radovid didn’t just become the lover of a bard - he became the lover of one of the most famous bards of the Continent who is incredibly well known for his songs he writes based on his love and heartbreak brought on by A Guy He Loved Who Broke His Heart. imagine you were a prince and your kingdom’s spy network was like "hey there’s this bard spy we’re using for his ties to the Literal Two Most Important People to the Future of the Continent" and then you’re like. that’s fucking taylor swift.
The Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector is a physics experiment the size of a 15-story building buried under a mountain in Japan. The detector is full of ultra-pure water, which can leach the nutrients out of your hair and dissolve metal.
@dragonsareimagining YOU GET THE FUCK BACK HERE AND START TALKING ABOUT ICE CUBE RIGHT FUCKING NOW DO NOT EDGE ME WITH SCIENCE LIKE THIS
I adore every single person who has indulged my nerding out on this post but also nobody is appreciating how silly the boat thing is
like, look at these nerds:

(it also puts how big super-k is into perspective)
ANYWAY ICECUBE MAY NOT BE SUPER-K BUT IT IS SUPER COOL
(literally, it’s at the south pole)
IceCube is one of the few physics experiments with a cool name that isn’t a hilariously tortured acronym (see: ATLAS, COBRA, NOvA, etc)
It does look hella evil, however:

this is clearly a supervillan lair
though some scientists are locked in here for months at a time over the winter period with no natural sunlight and just other scientists for company so I wouldn’t be surprised if an actual supervillan came out of here
“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!
Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”
Also Margaret Hamilton - NASA computer scientist who put the first man on the moon - an as-yet-unmatched feet of software engineering, here pictured beside the full source of that computer programme. #myhero
Grace Hopper - the woman that coined the term “bug”
Grace Hopper did more than coin the term “bug”. She invented the first program linker in the early 1950s, for the UNIVAC I. A program linker translates instructions from one language to another (for example, numerical codes that represent instructions translated to machine code that computers can read), which is the very foundation of how computer’s operate independently. she also pulled a steve rogers and tried to enlist in the military a bunch of times and was denied. then, an exception was made for her when she joined the navy reserves, and she ended up serving for over 40 years (half of which was active duty). she retired from the navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. she was born in NYC in 1906. Grace Hopper was a fucking badass.
also computing was typically a job for women (many of whom were black women that made incredible contributions) back in the day, so it’s absolutely fucking wild that straight white men think they are the foundation of computer innovation. men PUSHED women out and took the credit.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Adding Wendy Carlos to the list! Trans icon and pioneer of synthesized music!!
Also, just about every computerized device outside of desktops is running ARM chips now. Your phone, your keyboard, your car, your watch. Basically everything.
And ARM was primarily designed by Sophie Wilson, a trans woman.
Please don’t forget Hedy Lamarr. Screwed over by the US government. She helped develop spread spectrum communication, which in part led to the development of WiFi and Bluetooth tech.
The trick is to not let people know how really weird you are until it’s too late for them to back out.
Absolutely the frak not, the trick is to immediately let people know how weird you are so you scare off the weak ones. The ones who stay because they like how weird you are? Those are the ones you want.
im not even joking rn this fucking painting made me start uncontrollably sobbing. Do you know how long it took to paint? How expensive it was? The cat was content for hours and so loved that the girl held him there and paid for him to be painted with her. Imagine having such a bond… imagine being so loved and loving so much back…
Apparently this is almost a genre of painting. Its human nature to love and cradle cats …. And the bond these cats and their people have. To sit together for hours to get a painting to attempt to immortalize the love you two shared
Let me show you these charming paintings by a French artist Léon Comerre! I like to think these ladies were like “me and my kitty look so cute together, we must get a portrait made of us so that everyone knows how we love each other” 💕
(Also, having matching ribbons with your cat is the loveliest idea ever 🎀)
Meanwhile, I’m a fan of this Gainsborough, where, if you squint, you can see the outline of a furious cat who was not about to be in this portrait:
