I have a few questions about this study

First and foremost being, how does one go about becoming the sort of scientist who researches toast? Is there a special degree for that? Who funds toast studies? Does the dairy industry have an interest in them, on account of the butter?

It feels heavy and silent and massive. It’s like an entity. Space is awesome, y’all.

"I Would Do It All Again"

I always get a little teary-eyed when I read about people like this amazing woman, who harbored three Jewish men in her home during Hitler’s reign. She would have been killed in a second if she’d been discovered. I hope I’m never in a position where I have to be so brave.

Bonus awesome points: she used to be a librarian.

Oh, nerds ...

The impassioned, pedantic comments are the best part of any science-related article on the internet.

The Brown Sisters

Every year since 1975 this man has taken a picture of his wife with her sisters. It’s kind of creepy to watch them age.
