funniest statements from the magnus archives in no particular order: 

spiders, but they hate you personally

that one guy who was paid to keep a clearly fucked up coffin in his living room and just decided to fucking ignore the weird shit. (king)

band that is so bad at music that you die

a pile of worms stole my phone and texted my coworkers

man who admits he killed another man because he had a spooky vampire name

guy who felt the need to just dunk on this one guy for 10 minutes because he was a shitty drug mule. he also got his bones stolen. this is only mentioned at the very end.

twink with knife hands (cool)

Two random men walked in and stole my shipping company

fucked up monsters taking an anatomy class but are very polite and on time so its cool and sort of endearing. 

jon talking about how he has childhood trauma about an evil spider monster. only funny because i’m binge listening to this podcast and last week listened to him make fun of how stupid the idea of an evil spider monster is

bone stealing man shows up again and opens a gym to help people get fucking shredded. 

the plumber who shows up to the middle of a creepy monster circus in the middle of the night, looks at the pipes overflowing with blood, goes “there’s your problem” and just fucking pulls out a mass of flesh and then…leaves.

they literally just let him leave 

monsters have to invite him back to try and kill him again because he was so unfazed the first time

WHAT CIRCUS NOISES HUH

WHATS WRONG WITH JON'S FACE???????

[several-ravens]

wtf is the unknowing though

[enteragoodnamehere]

Shitty redraw of that one meme going around with judenikola bc I thought it was funny

[veradragonjedi]

@many-legged

And I says to myself "Ok. We can only get one small thing at the weird bookstore's retirement sale."

mag87, the uncanny valley

hello!! do u have a favorite tma ep? :D

oh god there's so many good ones :o

Mag2 maybe, I know everyone likes that one but it's such a classic. And Joshua Gillespie will forever be one of my favourite tma characters

Actually I really like the kind of episodes where the statement giver survives by simply not being that afraid. Joshua gillespie ofc, who decides that the coffin isn't nearly as scary as the people who sent it, and proceeds to common sense his way through the horrors. But also the one about the plumber who just didn't notice the murder clowns, or the lady who got trapped in an underground and just. Decided there was nothing she could do about it and took a nap instead.

Also!! I really like the later episodes where we get Jon and Daisy's friendship. That's not a particular episode ig but I find myself relistening to those ones alot just bc I love their dynamic so much

This old house aswell, Annabelle has got to be one of my favourite characters lol

[theskywaslookingback]

I always forget how fucking funny MAG87 is until I listen to it again. Imagine being some weird mannequin monster and trying your damndest to scare some random plumber but he just obliviously fixes the flesh blocking your drain and nods along when you tell him you’d like to wear him and then you have to make him COME BACK in the day time because you’re sure the problem was that it was just too dark for him to see that your workers were like skinning people, I’m—

[hyperfixationspam]

its pretty much accepted that "megan" in mag87 is nikola going by an alias but one of the victims of the anglerfish was named megan so theres a possibility that nikola was borrowing one of sarahs outfits and i just think thats really funny

[trademarkhubris]

the iconic plumber of mag87 who just. doesnt realise that a supernatural cult about the embodiment of Literal Fear is trying to maim, scare and kill him and hes just like "i was suddenly feeling very uncomfortable"

[several-ravens]

i have counted 13 episodes about the stranger for now (the others have an average of 6.2), which is approximately 15% of episodes since the beginning

that's a lot

Postdoc: CornellU.CropGenomics

Postdoctoral Associate for Comparative Quantitative Genetics and Genomics in Sorghum and Maize Position Function A Postdoctoral Associate Position is available to work in the area of comparative quantitative genetics and genomics in the Plant Breeding and Genetics Section. The position will be part of the ARPAE-funded, project entitled “Transportation Energy Resource from Renewable Agriculture‒Mobile Energy-Crop Phenotyping Platform (TERRA-MEPP; http://bit.ly/2u369Dk).” This position requires an experienced scientist to employ genomics and statistical tools in constructing a comparative sorghum-maize haplotype map (HapMap). The intent is to develop an evolutionary model to better understand the levels and patterns of diversity between maize and sorghum, along with the application of these findings to enhance genome-wide association studies and whole-genome prediction of complex traits in sorghum. The ideal candidate will have expertise in quantitative genetics, genomics, programming and statistics. Responsibilities will include independent research in the analysis of large whole-genome resequencing data sets, developing evolutionary models, complex trait dissection, and training scientists and students. The position will involve close collaboration with a dynamic team of plant physiologists, geneticists, crop modelers, and robotics engineers. Position requirements * Ph.D. with research experience in statistics, plant or animal breeding, genetics, bioinformatics, computational biology or related discipline. * Experiences in constructing and analyzing whole-genome resequencing, RNA-seq, or variome data sets with genomics software (GATK, BWA, PLINK, TASSEL, BEAGLE). * Extensive skills in programming (Python, Java, or C/C++) and statistical tools (R, ASReml, or SAS). * Proficiency in developing and implementing complex computational pipelines on Linux operating systems and high-performance computing clusters. * Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with a strong publication record. Preferred qualifications * More than 3 years of experience in quantitative genetics, genomics or bioinformatics. * Extensive experience in integrating and analyzing whole-genome resequencing and comparative variome data sets. * Experience in implementing machine learning algorithm (random forest, artificial neural network, etc.) * A record of publication in the field of quantitative genetics and genomics. * Experience in population genetics or comparative genomics. * Knowledge of plant breeding and genetics approaches is a plus. Supervision Exercised The position will include some supervision of undergraduate and graduate students involved in research on the project. How to Apply A letter of interest in the position, C.V., and contact information for three references should be emailed together as a single PDF file to Michael Gore at: mag87@cornell.edu Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

jon is becoming more and more crazy, there were at least two or three entities mentioned in a single episode, everything and everyone gets name-dropped
