Ethan absolutely nailed this one, holy cow

A screenshot from the linked article, which reads: "It is not an act of cruelty, dogmatism, or close-mindedness to demand scientific rigor. Instead, it is a mark of integrity and a commitment to finding the scientific truth surrounding whatever issue or phenomenon you’re investigating. There are many great, brilliant ideas that have been relegated to the historical dustbin of failed theories for the best reason of all: because they did not successfully line up with our observed reality. No matter how fanciful or compelling an idea may be, if it disagrees with experiment, measurement, and observation, it’s wrong, and must be revised or discarded in its current incarnation."

Buttons and stickers yay

Four badge-style buttons and one sticker purchased at Art-A-Whirl in Northeast Minneapolis. Three of the buttons are the same art style, and feature a manatee, moose, and red-eared slider turtle. The fourth is the MSP rebel loon. The sticker shows Squidward Tentacles from SpongeBob in front of a wall covered in climbing holds, and reads “it’s just a stupid boulder!”

a screenshot of a google search for the word "purview" from which the top description in the AI overview reads "Microsoft Purview is a comprehensive suite of data governance, risk, and compliance solutions designed to secure and manage structured/unstructured data across on-premises, multicloud, and SaaS environments.
