A reminder that Upasana Sarraju’s new book called Unruly: The Ig Nobel Prizes and The Science That Refuses to Behave dives into, swims and surfs through a universe (our universe, in fact) full of unexpected science. [Yes, the book is a little bit about me, so I am highly biased. But Upasana has made something that's Upasanaistically grippingly thoughtful and thought-provoking (and also fun). ] https://www.penguin.co.in/book/unruly/

Oh, yes, we will livestream the 36th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony, continuing the livestreaming tradition we began in 1995.

Daily repetitive questions: (1) Where are the illegally withheld EPSTEIN FILES? (2) What country will Trump announce today that he will attack next?

DOGE lives up to its billing: You’ve got to admit that that’s an *efficient* way to steal things.

Major news orgs keep running big headlines that consist of "Trump Says ________", as if he is telling the truth. This is a man who has been celebrated for nearly 50 years for being an entertaining, buffoonish liar. #ConfuseThePublic

I suggest that you avoid purchasing any products or services from #Adobe.
I base this on my recent experience with Adobe, buyng an upgrade — that fails to run on my computer. There is (apparently) no way for a customer to talk or correspond with a human being at Adobe. Because I have no record of any (impossible) correspondence with any Adobe human, Adobe and my credit card company both decline to issue a refund. REPEAT: I suggest that you avoid purchasing any products or services from Adobe.
