Adulthood is just saying, "next month should be less hectic" over and over until you die

I've seen so many dank memes from @AustralianLabor social accounts that I fear it's permanently shifted my sense of humor. From now on nothing will be funny to me unless it's been explicitly authorized by P. Erickson ALP Canberra

Students when the marking rubric I was given doesn't let me give them 100% because "that's technically impossible"

Was in a Teams meeting and one senior academic found a new background and they were raving about how pretty it is and I'm like *squints* "Haha is that from Minecraft?" and they look at me like I'm nuts? Like bro look at the picture your mountains are voxelated lmao it's cute wdym

Postdoc walking away from a meeting after making a throwaway comment that becomes a full fledged project idea that the RAs have to work on

@DrAllyLouks Anything to be said about how when Wolverine senses something is amiss or someone is approaching, it's his sense of smell that alerts him first? Like his eyesight and hearing are also superhuman level, but almost always he's chilling and then *pause* *sniff sniff* "He's here."

It has been a little while since I’ve asked: are there any particular examples of smell in pop culture, mass media, news stories, texts (literature, film, tv, art) that you would like me to comment on? I was writing about Shrek today and loving every second ☺️
