Hey tumblr friends, in case I haven't told you lately, I have no idea what the FUCK half of you are on about and I WISH I didn't know what the rest of you are on about. Great work. Keep it up.
Welcome to Australia! Where a fast food restaurant literally made a mirrored reflective sea-gull proof packet for their fries so they don’t god damn try to fly down and steal your fries.
A coworker of mine is drifting into data science, and the Johnson & Johnson blood clot weirdness came up, and I dropped the “better chance of being killed in a gender reveal party accident” thing on her. Which, of course, lead to the inevitable question of who compiles/curates/tracks that data. While I’m sure there is a proper actuary table or something out there for it, I explained my tried-and-true method of ballparking these things.
“Well, mostly you just hop onto google news and search for ‘gender reveal party’ and ‘tragedy,’ and then go from there.”
I’ve gotten a lot of 2021™ Looks this month, but I think that was probably the one 2021™ Look to rule them all. Like, she had to put her head on her desk for a second or two.
Which wasn’t helped by the fact that while she was doing that, I was executing one of those searches, and the next bit of information I had to pass along was: “Oh, hey. That’s not even the first gender reveal party to result in a plane crash.”
