Arthrospira platensis, commonly known as spirulina, can take on discrete morphologies depending on environmental conditions: helical as the name implies but also linear! theyre shapechanging out here
Aureispira is a predatory bacterium which uses a heptameric "grappling hook" to catch prey and reel itself in then shotgun blast them to death with a type 6 secretion system
Actinosynnema can grow insane branching fractal mycelial hyphae-like synemata structures in agar medium and into the air. they found that guy in New Jersey!
ok those are 3 interesting bacteria whose names start with 'A' that I can think of rn

Reply to today in job postings that make me feel like severance is less exaggerated a parody than one might initially think by hollyhoppet
I started listening to the Severance podcast, and Ben Stiller and Adam Scott compare Atlassian's Confluence (the worst wiki software in the world, as you probably know; it's so bad) to the Severance procedure, with wording very much like what you quoted in the post.

Well, until it's the year 11930 CE that is :P

that would be extra wild, since that film was shot at least 40 years after he worked there

What! That's crazy, my grandfather worked for Bell Labs in New Jersey during the late 50s and early 60s! I had no idea that was the same building!

The building in Severance is the former Bell Labs building in New Jersey that has been converted into a bunch of smaller offices for other companies. There's people who drive to work everyday to work in the Severance building.

By the power invested in me (by myself), I hereby decree the 2020s to be "The Terrible Twenties"

Most I hear people refer to 2010 to 2019 as just "the twenty tens"

i've heard "the new 20s" to differentiate it from the 1920s

People haven't really been using that wording to refer to the current decade since the 90s, so it feels kind of dated.
I think that’s just because there aren’t any universally agreed on shortcuts to refer to the 2000-2009 and the 2010-2019 decades. Not enough people use nought for the “noughties” to have caught on, and “the teens” leaves out 2010-2012. At some point I expect it to comeback, possibly ironically at first, but once it’s back I think it will stick around again. People love short cutesy labels.

Well, the 2020s right now isn't roaring, so you can add a "Roaring" before the 20s to mean the 1920s :P

I feel like it might not get that popular. People haven't really been using that wording to refer to the current decade since the 90s, so it feels kind of dated.
Some other phrasing, nickname, slang, pun, or something could take off instead. I guess if there's some distinctive attribute to the decade maybe it'll get an adjective to contrast it with the roaring 20s.

Ok now I’m curious: can you think of any beginning with the letter “q”?
And I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I love your microbe posts! They are part of what got me posting here :)
