It's a lovely day in the Suez Canal, and you are a horrible giant container ship

A friend just said to me "Are we supposed to be working during the coup?" and honestly it was the most American thing I've ever heard.

I've been admitted into the 1st COVID-19 vaccine trial. I'm grateful for my health. For the 1000s of scientists who brought us here. For the team that developed this vaccine (@NIH, @moderna_tx, et al). For @KPWaResearch, and the nurse who came out of retirement to draw my blood – at Seattle, WA

Tips for working from home: Get dressed. Keep a dedicated work space. Wear a mask. Demand that box 5 be left empty. Abduct your singing protégée. Threaten to destroy the opera house. Set clear goals. Don't forget to take breaks.

While humans carry out social distancing, a group of 14 elephants broke into a village in Yunan province, looking for corn and other food. They ended up drinking 30kg of corn wine and got so drunk that they fell asleep in a nearby tea garden. 😂❤️ xitter.cf/bylijing/status/123957…

Shout-out to the guy at the #alamw20 information desk in the convention center *demanding* questions from people as they walk by: "GIVE ME PURPOSE." I need his confidence when I teach. (it worked too; people did ask him their questions)

“Sorry for the reply delay!” - predictable - disorganised - admits fault on your part “in response to your premature email,” - brazen - establishes dominance - might get fired, giving you more time to work on your series of crime novellas

In a show of rare solidarity, Russia's three major newspapers put out nearly identical front pages to support a detained journalist. abcn.ws/2R4DHJv

Here’s the letter you need to send to Chase before August 10th, to reject the binding arbitration clause. (I’ve used myself as an example; edit to provide *your* info.) You can even handwrite it! Just make sure it contains your name, billing address, acct. number, and signature.

This week @Chase quietly reintroduced forced arbitration provisions into its terms of service. Perhaps — hear us out here — we can't depend on the banks that crashed our economy to just do the right thing? Congress must act now to #endforcedarbitration. fastcompany.com/90357331/cha…

Me to me: don't let the imposter syndrome get to you. You nearly have a PhD, that's a great achievement that really sets you apart. The MERL: gives equal academic status to a bat 😂
Okay...maybe bats can have library cards.

From a few weeks ago, but kitten fever is everywhere lately! This brave little fluff fell out of a tree in @QueryNLibrarian’s front yard - no family to be seen. Scooped him up and took him to the Humane Society, where he found a loving foster home!

(1/2) Several things went very wrong during the @usopen Women’s Finals today. Coaching on every point should be allowed in tennis. It isn’t, and as a result, a player was penalized for the actions of her coach. This should not happen.
