[thread - ID: 2021-03-03 12:49:52] @Kristian Andersen Nah. [2021-03-03 13:58:19] [Eddie Holmes] [thread - ID: 2021-03-03 12:49:52] @Kristian Andersen That was poorly disguised sarcasm. [2021-03-03 13:59:26] [Kristian Andersen] [thread - ID: 2021-03-03 12:49:52] @Kristian Andersen Typically my specialty. Sometimes I can't even figure out myself if I'm being sarcastic or not. It's confusing to the yankees. [2021-03-03 14:01:02] [Eddie Holmes] [thread - ID: 2021-03-03 12:49:52] @Kristian Andersen It's the default setting in the UK. [2021-03-03 15:31:32] [Robert Garry] Minor fyi - So, apparently Alina has been throwing a tantrum along with the earth sculpturer/coal miner about the Betsy McKay WSJ article from a few days back. BMcK doing another one and actually more in a series on "origins." [2021-03-03 15:43:55] [Eddie Holmes] Aw, bless. I hope Betsy doesn't put the rattle back into the pram. [2021-03-03 15:49:10] [Kristian Andersen] I'm not hopeful. I don't trust Betsy, and more broadly speaking, WSJ. [2021-03-03 15:50:52] [Eddie Holmes] I'm with you there. [2021-03-03 15:51:03] [Robert Garry] Always good to be cautious.... [2021-03-03 15:54:23] [Robert Garry] I also talked to Amy Maxmen at Nature - apparently she's also on to something - [2021-03-03 15:55:55] [Kristian Andersen] About origins? Amy is good, but some of her stuff is shaky - and her background knowledge can be quite limited at times (I talked to her about Ebola a long time ago and I was shocked by how little she knew, given that she has written so much about it). But I think she can be trusted - so that's a big plus! [2021-03-03 16:01:06] [Robert Garry] Yeah sorta origins...she might do a podcast... [2021-03-03 16:11:31]
