HAHA! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is “Never get involved in a land war in Asia,” but only slightly less well known is this: "Do not buy Twitter."

Word of the Day (again) is ‘quiddling’ (18th century): busying oneself with trivial tasks as a way of avoiding the important ones.

We’ve just launched a new research program for immuncompromised individuals in the US with free home molecular testing and rapid access to medications when needed. Please help spread the word 👇

We're launching a study that aims to reduce the risk of #COVID19 for #immunocompromised individuals. We hypothesize that detecting and treating COVID quickly can improve outcomes. The study is completely remote and available across the US at: immunocare.scripps.edu 1/3

A(nother) quick reminder of the ‘snaccident’: the inadvertent eating of an entire packet of biscuits/crisps/etc. when you meant to have just the one. (Apparently you can have a ‘gincident’ too.)

Y’all…I had the wrong bat. This is what happens when you tweet while drunk.

@hankgreen Hi Hank, this is not a bumblebee bat. This is a baby pipistrelle. It is extremely common for bumblebee bats, aka Kitti’s hog-nosed bats, to be misidentified. People often post baby pipistrelles or toys instead of the actual bat. (Pictured: left baby pipistrelle, right bumblebee)

I've just opened a new book and the text starts on the left hand page. Is there no legislation that protects us?

A quick reminder of the wonderful ‘flenched’ from Scots, used to describe weather (or life) that looks likely to improve, but never actually does.
