An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar.

The 1st orders a beer.

The 2nd orders a half of a beer.

The 3rd orders a quarter of a beer.

The 4th begins to order, but the bartender cuts him off, saying "You guys need to know your limits." He puts 2 beers on the bar.

"homosexuality is unnatural! there's only two genders! it's a sin-"

I'm sorry, have you seen NATURE???

Good as our intentions might be, few of us feel inclined to take initiative in a crisis while other capable do-gooders are nearby. A survey conducted by researchers from York University and University of Toronto in Canada suggests individuals with autism may not be quite as susceptible to this hesitance. Researchers have known about the bystander effect since the late 1960s, when the American social psychologists John Darley and Bibb Latané found male undergraduate students were less likely to report smoke when in groups compared to when they were alone. [...] Now we can include the neurological wiring of those in the crowd, with self-reported evidence suggesting people with autism spectrum disorder ( ASD) might be less easily influenced by the social norms that would keep others from stepping up. "Our study shows that to the extent that they would act if they saw something wrong, employees with autism were much more likely to intervene, regardless of the number of people present," says lead author Lorne Hartman, a behavioral scientist from York University. "And in situations where they would not intervene, they were more likely to identify the influence of others as the reason, whereas neurotypical employees were more reluctant to acknowledge this."

An anti-LGBTQ hate group is waging a boycott of the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, urging their supporters to sign a petition that claims the 99-year old event is “pushing on families…the LGBTQ agenda,” which it is calling “indoctrination.”

One Million Moms, an offshoot of the American Family Association, a Southern Poverty Law Center-designated anti-LGBTQ hate group, boasts 101,000 Facebook followers. Its petition has 35,037 signatories, after The New York Times reported on the boycott.

The boycott is “over performances by nonbinary Broadway actors,” The Times reports, “Alex Newell, the Tony Award-winning performer who stars as Lulu in ‘Shucked,’ and Justin David Sullivan, who plays May in the musical ‘& Juliet.’ Both are likely to take part in musical acts during the event, along with hundreds of other performers from Broadway and elsewhere.”

It’s Trilobite Tuesday! Platycoryphe christyi is one of the rarer trilobite species found in the Ordovician outcroppings of the American Midwest. Typically measuring 1.6 in (4 cm) long, this small species from the family Homalonotid is often confused with the more common Calymene trilobites that emerge from similarly-aged formations in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.
