I am a student at Hampshire college in the pioneer valley. I like anatomy, art, minerals, circus and also things. Find my div 3 blog at onmonstrosity.tumblr.com

Thanks to a pair of a bionic gloves, this 80-year-old classical pianist can finally play the piano again. The maestro, João Carlos Martins, had lost dexterity in his hands due to aging and health complications. His face at being able to play piano again says it all. 🎶

That probably added another 5-10 years onto his life

Oh Awesome!

if you grow mushrooms over a toxic waste site, chemical spill, or other polluted growing medium, they will suck up the toxins into their fruiting bodies with such effectiveness that they are being studied for their ability to clean up tainted industrial sites. it’s called mycoremediation.

if you do this with edible mushrooms, they are no longer technically edible, but on the other hand they make a great way to poison your enemies. this is called murder and it’s usually frowned upon, but they won’t see it coming and you get bragging rights afterwards about your ability to kill people with a pizza topping.

Sorry this was not precisely most people’s idea of “nice.” Let me add that you are a glow of comforting absurdity in an ever-more-fucked-up world.

So, I read a few Internet Detective accounts, and based on the timings and reasons given to Four Seasons Total Landscaping when they rang (it’s location, for instance - they knew where they were calling), it seems HIGHLY likely that Trump declared there would be a conference at the Four Seasons, staffers scrambled to book it, Four Seasons said FUCK no, and staffers then scrambled around to find ANYWHERE in the vicinity that had the same name so that Trump didn’t have to admit to being wrong on his Twitter feed.

This is, in fact, MUCH FUNNIER than the idea that staffers made a mistake (come on, Four Seasons Hotel would have come up first on any search engine), and reflects the fuckin’ Dictator Playbook of being unable to admit to being wrong, and staff being afraid to do anything to make the dictator feel wrong.

Trump making a claim without any foundation (i.e. “this conference will be at the Four Seasons” when nothing has been booked) and then refusing to acknowledge the possibility of error makes a lot more sense to me than some staff member booking the wrong venue by mistake. And makes it a lot funnier. :)

Holy shit my unsubstantiated guess was right.
