I have a theory that Everything Is Interesting if you look closely enough. Everything is more complicated than you think, even (maybe especially) the things you don't notice.

Now if you excuse me, I'm going to test this theory by looking up the history of aglets. What else should I test?

Did you know Shakespeare refers to "aglet babies" in Taming of the Shrew? There's a guy in 1790 who made millions of dollars from inventing modern shoelaces. Sometimes aglets are made with ultrasound????

Donald Trump’s entire life is a lesson that laws don’t mean much if nobody holds you accountable for breaking them

56% of accommodations cost nothing and, of those that cost $, the average cost is $500. US companies can just provide accommodations and don’t NEED proof that you’re disabled. How much do you think those wasted HR hours cost them? 🤔

Gotta love this loud message that when it comes to awards shows, multiple men forcibly kissing women for years is just business as usual but one (1) slap is the end of the world

One of my students emailed the author of an awesome methods book to see if he was thinking about updating it (since it was published ~15 years ago). Had to share the epic response 😆

I was the 1st openly gay kid at my HS in 1995. When I asked our principal, a man I greatly respected, if we could display a portion of the @aids_memorial quilt I was denied because it would “introduce homosexuality to the school.” I said “I hate to tell you but I’m already here.”

Remembering that time in 8th grade when I wrote a letter to Roald Dahl telling him he was one of my favorite authors and got a really nice letter back from his publishing company informing me Roald Dahl has been dead since before I was born

Feels like many people in Gov’t and entertainment are getting COVID (because they are required to test) but the general public is somehow COVID free.

I love how we are now at a point—not only in capitalism but in manufacturing consent—where the news can just casually say, "This man owns 30,000 houses." Without the next sentence being, "And his existence is an indictment of society and an affront to god."

I mean, I've heard people declare "violence is always wrong" in response to someone at a protest lighting a garbage can on fire. I can only conclude that there's quite a lot of flexibility in the definitions of "violence", "always", and "wrong".
