Ha! Just got cited in a bonkers paper on using biotech to turn ALL carnivores vegan. Apparently guppies “self-regulate” pop size when predators are removed - so no need to worry about getting rid of predators. I guess dying by starvation or disease is morally better than being eaten?

Once again, I am raising my petition to replace R's unreasonably scary "Session Aborted" message with grumpy pingu. #RStats

Drake hotline bling meme with drake shying away from the scary "R session aborted" message featuring a bomb and the words "fatal error", but Drake okaying an image of grumpy pingu (a clay penguin) with folded arms saying "well now I am not doing it"

Side note: in Roots Manuva’s 2001 UK rap classic Witness (1 Hope), the chorus goes “Witness the fitness The cruffatin liveth” Where ‘cruffatin’ refers to a man made hidden meaning, according to urban dictionary… We need Roots to speak out on evo!
