Sounds Like It's Not My Problem.

Scientific fraud is the most baffling thing ever to me like do they think they’re just going to make a huge breakthrough and no one will notice that it’s fake by trying to replicate their results

Given that we currently have a massive research replication crisis I think that’s exactly what people thought. And, infuriatingly, it worked in many cases.

This is why its a terrible idea to constantly focus on firsts and winning the publishing race. Because it leaves few people who want to verify studies and almost nobody willing to pay us to do so.

There needs to be an incentive to be thorough. And the lack of that has created what I think has got to be the most infuriating problem in science.

“And I’m gonna become a book thief!”

“A literary larcenist?”

“Yes! After I steal books, I’m going to set them on fire!”

“No, that’s arson.”

“Oh…”

“Need to steal you a thesaurus, baby girl.”

I can’t remember if I ever actually posted about this, but…

Ever since Matt first described the Judicators and their masks, I immediately thought of the descriptions in Calamity about how the betrayer gods basically used up, corrupted, and disfigured their clerics as basically just belief-power batteries. I have to watch [Calamity] again for the actual description but I remember it being gnarly.

I just… have a gut feeling that’s basically what the Judicators are. The weapon of the betrayer gods turned against them. That despicable method used in the name of good. Carefully guarded and limited, but not hidden or eradicated because it’s too useful. Too powerful to just let die out.

I feel like… If anyone ever successfully removed one’s mask… these respective followers of “good” and “evil” would be indistinguishable.

Sam’s gas tank returns! This week it features FCG’s character art with the words “serving Bundt” over him, and a tray attachment on which Sam placed an actual Bundt cake—which he immediately dropped on the floor. The cake was underbaked as fuck.

theft can be a love language actually - c3e64

Want to emphasize that this happened while Ashton was in the process of showing this ring to the other half of the party.

This interrupted another conversation about the weird fossilized gith in a wonderful moment of comedic timing that’s hard to do justice with a GIF.

sparring-spirals:

Every time, every time Fearne/Laudna/Imogen introduce people to Pretty and are reminded, in quick succession:

- Pretty really IS that delightful, and there’s a reason they collectively agreed to date him (beyond the panic distraction)

- They did in fact, collectively date Pretty and have to explain that to people.

- They are, collectively, no longer dating Pretty and have to explain that, because hes delightful and it was amicable!

- They are no longer dating because he broke up with them.

- By the time they get to this point of the explanation, its always consistently awkward despite there being absolutely zero bad blood anywhere.

- It’s only awkward for Fearne, Imogen, and Laudna.

- They are surprised by this.

- Despite this, they will always come back and see Pretty the next time they are in the city and enthusiastically introduce any new friends to him.

- If only there was a way to avoid this awkwardness!

- Anyway this is our friend Pretty!!! Hes great. Oh he’s our ex (collectively). Yes he broke up with us not the other way around-

Team Wildemount and Team Issylra reunion <3 (pretend Fearne is a raccon dog for full accuracy)

Oof, this is how we’re doing it huh.

Matt says the githzerai have old-people skin it’s canon

oh shit best druid is going to have some scars

Okay now with this juxtaposition I’m wondering if the Reilora are githzeri or if they’re just the descendants of unlucky people who got picked up with the moon city when Ruidus was balled up

ohohohohoh HERE’S the good shit

ohhhhhhhhh my god the face(s) Taliesin made at FRIDA calling Letters “Faithful Care Giver”

Laura: “Sam. Pick it up.”

amplexadversary:

Hate that upon hearing the phrase “dirty little spell” and no other indicator for several seconds my mind instantly went to “penis blast”

Fearne would be such a good influence on this woman I’m not even joking.
