@beebrookshire I've always envied sharks for this!

@b_age possibly, but they will also think that I'm extremely weird

@dillyd there's a technical term for this but I can't remember it. (You get the same effect if you /say/ the same word too many times in a row.)

@StefanGaller @donnerbella Lustigerweise sage ich oft "let's go and create value", wenn ich an den Schreibtisch gehe. (v.a., wenn ich irgendwelche Bullshitdokumente produzieren muss.) Sehr schoen, dass ich das jetzt auch auf Deutsch sagen kann

@donnerbella Mich macht schon das Wort "Wertschöpfung" völlig fertig.

@donnerbella Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science -- now get on with Wertschöpfung.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science to those who celebrate.

Especially to those of us who get up extra-early to have an hour of research time before all the admin and teaching work kicks in.

And to those with caregiver responsibilities. And those who are struggling with mental health.

To all of us, really.

@dmacphee Oh yeah, I'm blaming our Muppet Moe. Never fear.

@stephanie I can't let this rest. I know "de la bouillie pour les chats" as "completely unnecessary, for nothing, in vain" (or German "für die Katz"). Which is diametrically opposed to the lengthening in goooooooood.

So it doesn't even match semantically!

@stephanie that is… confusing.

@rufustheduck the cat is definitely infuriatingly beautiful
