Can @raccoonmilf vouch for this? Super rad if true.

[raccoonmilf]

Yes it’s true

the habitat loss, food source loss, extreme weather, etc caused by climate change are even more deadly to birds than any power plant.

wind turbines unfortunately do kill birds. but not at the numbers worth tearing down all the wind turbines. environmental assessments are always necessary when putting up infrastructure projects like this to mitigate potential harm but climate change itself is worse for all species. and that climate change is almost entirely caused by the extraction and burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas.)

and wind power is one of many ways we get ourselves off of the dirty ass environmental disaster that is extracting and burning fossil fuels for electricity.

Fish as fluid as the ocean. 🌊

All California sheephead start life as female and move through an array of colors and body shapes as they mature. Some female adults may transition to male as social and environmental factors shift, balancing the delicate ratio of individuals in their population.

While male California sheephead are largest and easiest to identify at a glance, a closer look at the lively waters of our Kelp Forest exhibit reveals a variety of female sheephead swimming through these fascinating life stages. 

Stream our Kelp Forest Cam and find peace in the beauty of a thriving underwater community. 🫶🌈

who let biologists play dnd

The animal that's "barely not a protist" is sponge. The phylum Cnidaria that coral belongs to is also the same phylum as PMOW and anemone.

There's also a whole nother phylum branching off the tree between sponges and Cnidaria, Ctenophora, the comb jellies. So cnidarians are arguably the third least animal animals, not even second.

My brother had lost the right to mock my deeply unwise vending machine purchase because he's spending his weekend driving to Iowa to buy a 1954 Cadillac limousine.

He doesn't have an explanation for this other than the fact that it's cool. And honestly, that's a pretty compelling argument

[hellenhighwater]

Oh good, he's named it.

[hellenhighwater]

He got her and she's gargantuan

[hellenhighwater]

THE BIG is home!!

[hellenhighwater]

Update: brother says: tell your internet people- I’ve been making the car shiny and it is COOL.

He's correct. This is excellent.

[hellenhighwater]

I left my brother unattended he traded the little corvair next to THE BIG for this thing. I think he's building an armada

He is casting spell of car repair on it, I think.

[hellenhighwater]

Brother has been left unattended and has gotten himself a 1970 Cadillac DeVille.

And now it just needs a plate!

Other options are LONNNG and LOMMMG.

it should definitely be

The Further Adventures of Foxy Grandpa

Foxy Grandpa Company, 1901

Foxy Grandpa was an American gag-a-day newspaper comic strip created by Carl E. Schultze drawing under the name "Bunny." The strip lasted from 1900 to circa 1918. Between 1901 and 1917, Foxy Grandpa was published in books — more than 30 volumes from four different publishers.

These two issues -- which innovated the mini-Starros that all subsequent Starro appearances have relied on -- have never been reprinted. This fall, they'll appear in the JLA Bronze Age 4 omnibus for the first time.

Synthesis is incredibly useful as a skill. Also: Know at least a little about as much as possible.

Students' inability to even TRY to BS an assignment legit worries me as an educator

[frothlad]

My anecdote is that as a freshling in an honors 101 class for a subject I did not care about, I had to write a paper. I read an encyclopedia article and a chapter or two of an unrelated book and vomited up a six page paper linking the two subjects in three hours. I got an A and the prof encouraged me to submit it to some journal or something. (I no longer remember the details; I think it was psychiatry, and the encyclopedia article was about Pavlov's experiments.)

Learn how to synthesize. My paper was bullshit in the technical sense; I did not care about its truth value, only that it fit the assignment.

As a professional, I once bullshitted my way through a complex derivation of D from C by noting that when B was derived from A in the same process, it dropped all of the terms of a particular type. I just took C, dropped the terms, and got D and it worked. It was bullshit, because I did no work to prove that what I was doing was correct. But it was correct, because I had synthesized what needed to be done.

That's the kind of BS you want to be able to summon on command.

Happy Trilobite Tuesday! For more than a century, the predominantly Eastern European genus Platylichas was recognized almost exclusively from scattered, disassociated parts. However, recent discoveries during the 21st century have uncovered complete Upper Ordovician specimens—like the example pictured here, which measures 2.8 in (7.1 cm) in length.
