I never read it but somehow absorbed bits from the ambient culture. Might have watched a version at some point.

Age may be part of it. I’m 53. Perhaps Oliver Twist stuff was more visible in US culture in the 70s and 80s than it was later.

Is that a Members Only jacket?

A quick pubmed search finds NIH such supported research as:

"In 2005 the genome of the 1918 influenza virus was completely determined by sequencing fragments of viral RNA preserved in autopsy tissues of 1918 victims”

Insights on influenza pathogenesis from the grave. 2011, Virus Research

"death of the child victim”

Characteristics, Classification, and Prevention of Child Maltreatment Fatalities. 2017 Military Medicine

Etc

@Soyweiser

I’m not sure lawyers file for many NIH grants, but “victim" probably comes up in medical/science research. Pathology would be one possibility.

@sc_griffith

Note: They’re all problems. Just “Trauma" is kind of extra-important because of its use as a medical term.

Trauma surgery, Barotrauma, Traumatic Brain Injury, Penetrating Trauma, Blunt Trauma, Abdominal Trauma, Polytrauma, Etc.

@sc_griffith

Apparently “Trauma” is banned. That’s going to be a problem.

This is what happens when you give power to bigoted morons.

@sc_griffith

"Gender Neural”

That typo is probably going to screw a lot of Neuroscience grants just because it’ll match on some dumb regex.

Also, apparently Hispanic and Latino people don’t exist?

@blakestacey

Or at least manure.

@dgerard

Someone should write a dissertation about that porn video and the memes.

@self

To be fair it also endangers people outside the car, just not when a deflagration is set off inside.

@mirrorwitch

It was made to write copy for catalogs, alumni bulletins, and mediocre in-flight magazines.

Steve Jobs: “And so for me a computer has always been a bicycle of the mind, something that that takes us far beyond our inherent abilities.”

Tim Cook on AI:

"A seatless bicycle for the mind”

@dgerard @TunaCowboy

I assumed it was an AI company I hadn’t heard of. But the play was my next guess. I have not seen or read the play. I do know that Gandalf and Picard were in a production.

@swlabr

“anti-christianity, anti-anita sarkeesian, and now anti musk.”

2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

@V0ldek

To be fair “training modules" can be quite brief. 50 online training modules is probably less work than one semester of Physics I.

@corbin

Sweet summer child.

@corbin

How would that even happen with a Trumpist DOJ?

@dgerard oh no

@sailor_sega_saturn

Maybe it’s one of those cliches like “bus plunge”

@froztbyte @angrystego

To be fair they all too often have less agency about getting pregnant than they should, and getting pregnant is something women may fear or dread depending on the circumstances such as “was it rape” “is he abusive” “that’d really fuck up my career that is finally getting going” and “am I in Texas or Florida or Georgia or…”

Also, accidents happen, probably even with birth control defense in depth.
