At this point it's more disappointing than shocking that not a single assassin in the states can aim a fucking gun

[ooppo]

Not fucking really

Breaking away from the dinosaur theme, here’s a starry goat sculpture that’ll be available in tomorrow’s shop update. I love mixing these colors and patterns together! They’re a bit of a pain to get right, but it’s so satisfying when they work.

This piece will be available tomorrow, Friday July 11th at 8pm Eastern time!

Kestrel-dad not sure how to dad but he’s trying his best.

Dad loves you and feeds you. But he is also dumb and feeds you a wonderfully done wagyu steak. You are 3 days old.

Okay, but check out this video from mid-May 2022 of a Kestrel Dad who just kept piling up voles and mice beside his babies when the mom was injured/killed/mia’d by owls…but then watched one of his babies just swallow a lizard and went “OH. I can feed them small food!” and learned to tear it apart!

EDIT: There’s a not-zero percent chance that this could be the same dad???????? The source is the same–Robert E Fuller–but they could be different birds. 

[swan2swan]

UPDATE: Not only has Mister Kes learned to feed his chicks all on his own…

….the three chicks who were taken out of the nest for intensive care after the mom disappeared were put back in, and he just started feeding them, too.

He’s a single father of six who does not possess the instincts to feed even one of his offspring, but he learned and adopted that behavior without difficulty and is now hunting and providing for six kids all on his own.

PLEASE BE HETEROSEXUAL PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

[kaijutegu]

I should probably explain that.

These two are American crocodiles! They are a vulnerable species and it's been decades since Sanibel Island has had breeding American crocodiles, and because of how safe the island is for animals- more than 75% is a nature reserve- it would be an excellent spot for them to breed! This would be a wonderful place to raise baby crocodiles!

[despondent-beauty]

Apparently, homosexual behavior is pretty common in American crocodiles? At least according to the St. Augustine Crocodile Farm study, which was conducted 40 years ago and might have methodological flaws. I haven't checked.

[kaijutegu]

That study was on American alligators! I have a whole big write up of it here if you want to see that talks about some of the methodologies and implications of the results!

[kaijutegu]

They've been spotted again!

Same pond, same position, slightly different location on the shoreline. Apparently the bigger one is a fine pillow.

[kaijutegu]

GODDAMMIT THEY'RE LESBIANS

[kaijutegu]

This is in addition to the OTHER female/female crocodile pair on Sanibel, who are engaging in courtship in this picture. This is one of the girls about half a second from mounting the other and engaging in cloacal rubbing. I love being friends with the wildlife biologists down there, they are so kind to tell me about the large lizard-esque lesbian lovefest that this year's AmCroc breeding season has become.

[kaijutegu]

So uh

One of the lesbians just moved into some lady's back yard and built a nest.

Sanibel woman shares backyard with nesting crocodile, city monitoring it

A Sanibel woman is finding herself living alongside an unexpected new neighbor—a crocodile.

Now, these could be duds. But they might not be!! The new lady could have shown up gravid or retained sperm. Or we could be looking at something highly unusual and there's gonna be a litter of crocodile Jesuses.

Either way, this is EXTREMELY exciting. Let's go, lesbians!!!

nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations

[jaubaius]

It’s still stupid but it worksheet

[ignescent]

This is so fun, because it’s a solidly learned superstition.

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

You're just not toxic enough.

[penny-anna]

i think the reason why the assassination of Julius Caesar is one of the funniest political assassinations is for this very simple reason:

1 guy stabs 1 guy: not funny. that's murder.

2 guys stab 1 guy: even less funny. that's two against one.

60 guys stab 1 guy: uproariously funny. why do you need so many guys.

[emmikay]

60 guys only manage to stab the 1 guy 23 times: I can't fucking breathe I'm laughing too hard, you suck at this
