Okay I know balls are funny but microplastics have literally been found everywhere we looked, so why are testicles getting so much attention?

Like more attention than when the news showed newborn babies even have microplastics (more than adults when comparing fecal samples)

Well, fuck you, the library is adults only now thanks to book banners and right wing legislators

When they left 2 days later, they rigged the mainframe with improvised napalm connected to a slow-burning fuse. (two math professors disconnected it while it was burning)

They don't want to sound Canadian, but like a hockey playerโ€”a "linguistic persona."

TODAY: 167 days since December 1st 2023

167 days since the 'key' subscription-access chemistry journal called Heterocycles went offline.

Still no sign of it emerging anywhere online ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

This is a journal of 17,000+ articles which have been cited over 164,000 times. Not some obscuro unimportant journal.

Our university deployed a mail filter that rewrites URLs in emails to redirect them via a service that checks for bad websites. Somebody clever worked out that PGP-signed emails are exempt from the rewrite rule, so now people are starting their emails with "BEGIN PGP MESSAGE" even though they haven't used PGP at all, just to fool the filter ๐Ÿ˜‚

Anybody sending malware links has probably also worked out that trick by now, thereby rendering the entire filter pointless
