No need to apologise — the world is grim, we're all burnt out and having each other's backs is how we survive, especially when it comes to the little things like this. Teamwork makes the dream work.

I can't help but wonder whether some people are aiming to scapegoat her. Like, this is a huge trial, with many defendants (I'm unsure whether anyone else besides her was sentenced to death at the first trial), but maybe pinning more stuff on her will make others (who may be more culpable for some of the charges than she is) less likely to get the death penalty.
What a cutie. I'm glad I get to see him via a photo though, and not in the toilet bowl when I'm trying to pee — that must have startled whoever found him
Seconding this book recommendation. I started skim reading it a few months ago, and it was so entertaining it pulled me in.
Last year, I called out a friend for excessively blaming the Greens for various local council decisions/inefficiencies. They had the impression that the Greens had far more seats than they actually did (iirc, they only had 2, out of a total of almost 40). When I pointed this out to them, they were surprised, and we later reflected that they had likely inadvertently bought into propaganda that scapegoats the Greens.
One of the projects that the Greens had most loudly been opposed to in the area was one that looked like some genuinely pretty dodgy developments as part of a failing scheme led by councillors who had approved a bunch of other half complete failures.
How did you find out about your award?
I picked up the phone after slogging through traffic and rain to a bloke from Cambridge in the UK. He told me about this prize and the first thing I thought of was the lady who collected snot off of whales and the levitating frog. I said, “absolutely I want to be in this club”.
I love this. Speaking as an early career scientist, I think I'd rather win an ig-Nobel prize than a real Nobel.
