For folks of a particular generation —and I'm pretty sure that's the only generation that's hear, my dearies— this podcast begins with an especially powerful anecdote.

Here. The generation that's here.

But remember, to date, this is still the best podcast of 2019.

Here's a sports clip of a challenging solution to a 3D geometry problem.

Hadn't thought if his for some time, but film critic David Edelstein is apparently still finding work several months after a #metoo-style scalping attempt.

He came to mind while listening to this chat with the bigger Weinstein brother, which is a pretty good listen.

Cute sports story—

[H]e told the story about not being able to get an interview at San Jose State because of lack of experience and said ‘just look at my wife. I can recruit.’ He ain’t wrong.

Non-reprehensible Twitter outcome. It had to happen someday.

Next week: Please stop tweeting about us! we can't keep up with the demand.

Next month: Y'all kept tweeting, we couldn't keep up with the demand, and now we're getting slaughtered at Yelp.

Two months from now: We're going out of business.

If only there was some humorous or ironic angle to this news.

Regarding Amy's Tweet: I have always had the opinion that once you felt that you really knew what you were doing professionally, you had officially lost it.

If you know that there is always more that you don't know than what you do (and it bothers you), you are always on the quest to improve.

I feel the same way about political opinions.

Terror. Well, until one of the super calderas light up.

I'm not saying that...oh, it's aliens.

And the EPI is at it again with manipulated data, false narratives, and pure nonsense.

Surely, you've seen the "Meanwhile, Average CEO Pay is up 937%" meme on Facebook or Twitter by now.

Almost every statistic cited in that meme is false and manipulated, misleading readers "...by deceptively comparing nominal vs. real prices, among other errors."

For instance, EPI again used the pay for CEOs of the 350 largest corporations in the US and called the results "average CEO pay," nowhere pointing out their figure counts less than 1% of the total number of CEOs in the US. They've done that before with their CEO-worker pay gap "study."

The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) is a leftist think tank co-founded by Robert Reich and not the "nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank" that it claims to be.

If one wants to make a solid case that CEO pay is increasing far more rapidly than worker pay, that's fine. Just be honest about the numbers; which EPI is not.

Obviously, my biological education is totally flawed.

Not until just now.

I think I'll need a new rule, to go along with my 72 hour rule on controversial breaking news, that any infographic that contains numbers is banking on my innumeracy to fact check their asses into next month. Especially if they do not include links to their data sources and methodologies.

Ever wonder what would you get if you cross a harvestman with a dog?
