TIL my daughter has the cilantro soap gene mutation, and I’ve never been more disappointed in myself for recessively passing down that curse.

Oh well, more for me! 😋

Went to a second viewing of #GlassOnion today and had to wear my shirt from Super Yaki!

The #movie is fantastic, with a brilliant ensemble cast and clever script — and particularly timely given the current real world antics of a certain tech giant.

A ★★★★½ review of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)

While Knives Out is a self-contained murder mystery dealing with internal family politics, Glass Onion expands the scope and raises the stakes with its ensemble of “disruptors” who want to influence/change the world. It also felt particularly timely given the current real world antics of a certain tech giant. A clever script, fantastic performances (especially Monáe and and Craig), expansive set pieces, cameos and references so quick you might miss them, and so many layers to peel through! What a way to modernize and elevate a whodunit.

Best use of google eyes.

Treat yourself to a powerful, emotionally intense story in this comic about the life of Kevin Conroy, as a gay man growing up in an Irish Catholic family in the 50s through the AIDS crisis of the 80s, until he was offered what would become his iconic role as the voice of Batman. Conroy just passed away from cancer at age 66.

Let's talk about #PrePrints for a minute. For those who are unfamiliar, this is when researchers make their findings available (via various online sharing services) before the work has undergone peer review and been published in a journal. Given how slowly #AcademicPublishing can move, preprints can make important research available more quickly. However, it also raises some interesting questions. 🧵
