I always think about how every single sitcom I watched growing up made fun of modern art (“I can paint that!!”, points to a white canvas) and then I got a minor in art history and realized how important context is, but how rarely it’s offered up. :(

Stupid monk wasting monastery money by breeding 5,000 slightly different peas. What's wrong with the old peas? Go write a sermon or something, lazy monk.

I had to give up on a satirical news podcast because it kept boggling at anti-maskers during Covid while also sharing the "wacky" science stories! "Why don't they trust science?!" Because everyone keeps pointing at the "weird" stories without covering where they lead!!!

My dad, a scientist, once went to a political event where a Republican candidate said to the crowd "can you believe we are spending $5 million studying zebrafish eyes" and everyone laughed

And then my dad said "ok but we are probably gonna cure muscular dystrophy" https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-01-zebrafish-eye-muscles-people-muscular.html

(to be clear he wasn't on that project, he just had read about it and "we" meant humanity/the scientific community)
