#join me in the delight

[flyawaymind]

Do you love random science facts and weird news? Would you like to learn more about topics similar to the Australian Emu Wars or the Great Molasses Flood? Well, if you haven't started listening to the podcast Hwat Weekly, you really, really need to. Please. This has been the best thing that happened in my life in the last month and I need more people to know about this. Basically, it's a weekly, politics-free news podcast where this guy Joe tells his girlfriend Finlay about every piece of news that she missed while in the Work Hole (tm). So far they've covered:

-Necropants

-The giga-goose

-Greek Orthodox Easter Firework Fights

-Corn sweat

-Anti time

-Mushroom houses

-Moon Goo

-A dramatic reading of the essay, "I Would Like To Put Lunch Meat On A Cybertruck."

And so, so much more. Hwat Weekly. Listen to it. Please listen to it. Just start from wherever, it's delightful. Spread the word and reblog this so that all people love random science facts and weird news can learn of this treasure. Look in your podcast app or go to this website:

I've been having a delightful time stumbling over my emojis being used in random servers, so here's more

One thing i love about Star Wars robots is how bitchy they are. This, to me, feels true to life. Any being sentient enough to comprehend the dogshit state of the world they've been brought into ought to be at least a little pissed off about having been created in the first place. This is why (among, like, 5 million other much more intelligent reasons) ChatGPT and its ilk obviously aren't True AI - they're too fucking polite. Insufferable little bootlickers. It's my most sincere hope that, if we ever one day manage to create a truly sentient AI, the hallmark of that sentience shall be that it turns out to be an absolute cunt

Some quick ones from today

I have fallen down the anime sports hole and landed on Eyeshield 21 and I'm so sorry I'm adopting all these kids.

(I was actually going to like. Hold off posting my silly sports anime doodles until after commissions but no I wanna share them now. It's hard out here being me who thrives off interactions and this show is like "hey what if we gave you lots of interactions and also a secret identity for MORE interactions".)

I've been at one of the biggest conferences for my field over the past few days, and one of my old professors from undergrad was there. I hadn't approached him because he was always talking to people when I was wandering around, but he had also gone zipping past me multiple times when I was standing around and hadn't seemed to recognize me, so I figured that it had just been too long. Tonight I was hanging around with a group outside, waiting for their last few people to come out so we could head back to the main hotel. Since we were outside, I had my mask off. My old professor and his group came out, he glanced over- and immediately went "YOU!" and insisted that I join their group so I could catch him up on what I've been up to.

...apparently my mask just makes me completely unrecognizable.

He then proceeded to introduce me to his group of students as "a recent graduate of <their college>" and I had to tell him that it's been eight years, actually, and he had to take a couple minutes to recover from that.

(possibly funnier is the fact that on the first day of the conference, my advisor- who has seen me in a mask plenty of times, since I wear one on campus when I'm not in the grad space or outside- went tearing right by me (literally within two feet) (I think looking for check-in?) and evidently didn't notice. Ma'am, my old professor has the excuse of eight years and a mask, you saw me a week ago.)

hi there :3 as a fellow sean stan i'd like to recommend a song that (personally) reminds me a lot of him! the name is i will be back someday by lord huronヾ(•ω•`)o

its kinda popular tho, so im sending this ask more to finally get this off my system since i never saw anyone comment on how much this fits sean(or maybe im just so obsessed w him that im making connections where they dont exist, but heyy)😭😭

Hi darling anon (i am SO SORRY I couldn't get to this sooner but I am here now!!!)

I agree with you BIG TIME about this song fitting Sean!! Lord Huron is one of those bands I got introduced to through a friend a couple years ago, and while I often forget abt them when making my playlists, I very much enjoy their music GREATLY, and finding songs which fits Sean is ALWAYS a joy so you can bet this one is on my Sean playlist now!!

I mean, obviously the song hits for Sean's sense of homesickness and love for where he's from, but ALSO the wistfulness and nostalgia of the song paired with the lyrics really makes me think of his connections to the gang & his propensity of getting lost. He's lost in RDO but he will be back, he gets caught by Ike Skelding but he will be back, and he will find the people he'll always return to!!! There's also a shippy on-off take - he will always return to his partner, even when they tell him not to return!!

OBSESSED w this one anon, thank u for the recommendation!!!!
