Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door inadvertently depicts Peach as the quickest typist in the world. She is able to type up a 126-word email in exactly 3 seconds, making her 8 times faster than the current typing speed world record.

I took Toriel's heartbreaking fast-paced battle theme and turned it into a slower version that sounds like it might play at her funeral and truly makes your heart ache πŸ’”πŸ˜­ #undertale #toriel #heartache

Happy Birthday, Sangonomiya Kokomi! #GenshinImpact #SangonomiyaKokomi I have long wished to share with you this underwater "secret base," and today I have found the proper moment to invite you. Whenever my mind grows unsettled, I dive beneath the waves. Watching the jellyfish drift and the fish glide by, my worries gradually fade. Look, this little fellow seems eager to lead us somewhere. Let us follow in its wake for a while and see where it guides us.

Ube turning into a global "trend" is bittersweet. I love seeing Filipino flavors get the spotlight, but I hope people remember it's not just a purple aesthetic, it comes from real farmers who are often paid the bare minimum while brands overseas get more credit and money.
UBE CRAZE IS HERE πŸ’œ Kumita ang Pilipinas ng higit $3 million o P174 million sa pag-eexport ng ube at ube-based products noong 2025, ayon sa Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). Ayon sa DTI, mas lumakas ngayon ang demand sa ube products sa iba't ibang panig ng mundo gaya ng ube powder, puree, halaya, at flavor extracts. Ine-export ng Pilipinas ang mga produktong ube sa ilang pangunahing merkado gaya sa Middle East, United States, United Kingdom, at Italy. Maging sa China at Japan, ginagamit na ngayon ang ube sa paggawa ng pastries, dairy-based ice cream, frozen yogurt, matatamis na biskwit, at cookies.

I used to like IFLS when I was younger, bc they picked out really interesting articles that could hook even people outside of STEM. Nowadays I dislike how clickbait-y they've gotten. As someone who's done (peer-reviewed!) research on CHIKV, this feels like fearmongering. (1/5)

Anyway, all this to come back and say pages like these really need to be more careful with their wording. The world is a scary enough place as is, let's not add more fear than is necessary. (4/5)

Also if you're a researcher involved in studying this outbreak I would LOVE to chat -- I designed a CHIKV vaccine and would love to have it developed properly! Published article here: europepmc.org/article/med/37… (5/5)
