GET YOUR WICKED ON

Good morning. Do you plan to sing along during Wicked? Ahead of the movie musical’s debut on Friday, a debate has broken out on social media after the popular ones who got to see early screenings complained about other moviegoers doing their best Glinda and Elphaba impressions, drowning out Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo with their decidedly less-stellar voices.

Enjoy the SNOW peeps, I'm playing golf at 1040 out here in SW Utah.

Sorry I can't make Snow Angels with ya.

Could Humans Hibernate?

Aeon | Vladyslav Vyazovskiy. Examining the concept of hibernation—from why some animals do it to the history of hibernation in literature.

Scientists now agree that hibernation can be of two kinds – a seasonal, multiday profound suppression of metabolism, often lasting for months and occupying a good portion of an animal’s life, or else its shorter and milder form, a so-called daily torpor. https://aeon.co/essays/how-animals-learned-to-hibernate-and-why-we-cant-do-it-yet

That one...that one over there; he's talkin' to himself again.

Talking Out Loud to Yourself

Time | Angela Haupt. Talking to yourself is stigmatized—an activity for children playing pretend, not for adults of sound mind.
