#introduction Hi, I'm Thomas. I write and host The Episodic Table Of Elements, a podcast that looks at the fascinating stories behind every element on the periodic table, at http://episodictable.com

management positions are a jobs program for middle aged white people

Well, I made it past 9am in NYC before I remembered that today is 9/11

The kitchen scene from Jurassic Park, except the kids have access to a 45-gallon drum of corn oil

The episode on Calcium is finally here! Element 20 beautifully blurs the line we imagine exists between flesh and stone. https://episodictable.com/calcium/

Does anyone else really bristle whenever they see someone use the term "fake news"? It seems like a major concession to fascists even to acknowledge that it's a valid term.
