Face of kiageha caterpillar. The face is onigiri shaped with black lines on green. Small pair of eyes on ide. Six legs are held in prayer position. The legs are yellow-green with claws. The body is green with black and orange spots. A pair of proleg can be seen clasping the plant stalk.

Long day today, so one photo only. I got a face shot of Old World swallowtail or kiageha (Papilio machaon) caterpillar. Those little eyes! Short legs! Chonky body! Tokikubo, Komoro, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insects

The most awful people on Earth have all the money, all the power, all the weapons of mass destruction, and are in charge of everything.

We really should do something about that.

It does not smell like the Georgian Dream is interested in, or capable of, a reset with the United States.

Tech bro denied dev's hard-earned bonus for bug that overcharged a little old lady

She owes a private school $27,000. Her daughter never attended. In a region with one of nation’s highest private school enrollment rates, there’s a side not often talked about: the lawsuits.

Sandy Spring Friends School told Bianca Johnson she owed $21,302.53 in tuition and fees, citing an agreement she’d signed.

When Johnson said she couldn’t pay, the school sued, tacking on 18 percent interest.

A cool thing in food aversion is that humans are very, very good at learning to become disgusted by food that has sickened them. The ones who didn't, died before having kids.

You literally have hundreds of thousands of years of ancestors telling you to never eat sushi again after having bad sushi

One time in Japan I went to a Japanese restaurant and the menu was entirely in Japanese, and my reading is at very-bad-dyslexia speed. So to not annoy the staff, I used ChatGPT to quickly translate the menu.

It made up everything.

I ended up just reading the Japanese menu and that did the trick.

Someone disagreed with me in a quote post. Ok. I thought their argument was flawed but I decided not to detach.
But then I saw they removed the ability to reply OR quote post their quote of my post.
Really? You wanna use my post to make a point, fine, but you can't then stop people from using yours.

China’s botched Great Firewall upgrade invites attacks on its censorship infrastructure Attempts to censor QUIC traffic create chance to block access to offshore DNS resolvers China’s attempts to censor traffic carried using Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC) are imperfect and have left the country at risk of attacks that degrade its censorship apparatus, or even cut access to offshore DNS resolvers.…

a plot that shows runtime in hours vs release date of netflix shows. Just a few are longer than 60 hours but a lot are just under 60 hours with majority being much shorter (under 25 hours)

The only conclusion I can come to from your post, Tom, is that you think there is a peaceful way out of this.

Yet the '26 midterms are openly being tampered with as we chat, and you know it. How does this end, Tom?

Give people a peaceful but believable roadmap.

The same dem consultants that bought us "nothing will fundamentally change" and "no daylight, kid" and muzzled Walz to a 30 second soundbite in support of trans people and are backing Cuomo and Adams against Mamdani, and supporting Newsom, would *love* to run on bikeshedding and policy wonkey.

What a Major Solar Storm Could Do to Our Planet Disturbances on the sun may have the potential to devastate our power grid and communication systems. When the next big storm arrives, will we be prepared for it?

Some scientists believe that there is an approximately 12-per-cent chance of a severe solar storm striking the Earth in the next decade—which could devastate our power grid and communication systems. Are we prepared?

Draw a line between religion and politics, prohibit its usage as an ideological weapon, address clear issues within the institution and all would dance, too.

I see lots of Russian influencers posting about possible US attack on their nuclear submarines in Kamchatka, that are now damaged by earthquakes
Per usual, opposite is true. This aligns with some European sources, who think the earthquakes have a relation to Russia. For now these are guesstimations.

Inside the Crisis at the Anti-Defamation League The group used to believe the rights of Jews were inextricable from the rights of everyone else. Its war against anti-Zionism has changed everything.

This is a must read on how the ADL radicalized itself under Jonathan Greenblatt and became a deeply illiberal and authoritarian organization solely committed to censoring its critics and shielding Israel from criticism.
