I don't even know what this conversation was about and I'm blocked

Evolutionary dynamics of dietary specialisation – insights from Neotropical mistletoe‐dependent frugivores Mistletoes occur worldwide, with most relying on birds to disperse their sticky seeds to suitable hosts. There has been considerable ecological research on these interactions, emphasizing those birds....

In time for the festive season, my latest paper charts the 25 million year story of how mistletoe and songbirds somersaulted across the Americas, diversifying as they went.  Strap in for an epic ecological tale #MistletoeMunchersFromWayBack 1/12

tfw you've got this blash

Yeah there's always a cooling off period where you have to wrestle with the question of how urgently you need rice.

We do ours in a pyrex bowl set inside the pasta insert of a big pasta pot, with the rice covered in water plus about 1 cm. It is as good as or better than anything I've had from a rice cooker and uses stuff we already have.

It really is precisely the inverse of how much work you actually are doing

it's absolute bullshit that he's doing this when it was obviously LBJ who needed the most presidential ball room

funny bit of the OU TPUSA bible essay thing that's not being reported on: her mom was a defense lawyer for january 6th defendants. when her client was sentenced to 12 years in prison for attacking police officers she claimed he was a "political prisoner"

I absolutely loved it. Recommended it to my cousin who generally has very similar taste in movies and his response was "what the fuck is this, when does it get funny?" I don't get how you can not get it but apparently it just doesn't land for some people.

I assume this is how people talk themselves into having children

this is the fastest I've ever not clicked on something

going from the dates grok got her pregnant five weeks and three days before they said their vows, jesus would not approve

Yeah they’re not scared at all, they’re in this for the love of the game (the game is being horrible to minorities).

I see people pointing to this as more evidence of universities trying to appease the Trump administration, but as someone who attended @ou.edu let me assure you that they would absolutely be doing this bullshit anyway.

Google Maps leaves a few things to be desired in Okinawa.

A picture of a throw pillow sitting on a bench surrounded by Thanksgiving decorations. The pillow says "Welcome. All who enter will be sniffed, licked, slobbered on, barked at, and loved." A piece of paper with fancy text on it has been taped to the pillow underneath that text that says "by Wendy".

Last year my sister Wendy let us crash at her house over Thanksgiving so in exchange I decided to help her decorate. Just because we're both middle aged now doesn't mean I'm not still her little brother.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

they are removing a big australian beach christmas artwork from redfern station (a huge train station) because it's ai garbage. kangaroos have koala heads and some animals have missing limbs and one of them is WEARING A BRA

Just submitted a manuscript only to realize that, at the last minute, I had somehow fat-fingered a typo into the goddamn TITLE. I caught it only after it was already submitted though, and am now hoping they will un-submit it so I can fix the damn thing. :-/

A screencap of subtitles from a video about Baldur's Gate 3, which Youtube has decided is actually called Ford Escape Free.

I love Morgana Evelyn's BG3 videos for a bunch of reasons, but pretty high on the list is how much trouble Youtube has with her accent, which is so Australian that the subtitles can't even figure out which game she's playing.

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Oops, left a stray "arranged" there.

It bore little resemblance to a traditional Thanksgiving, but the food was great and the people were all fun and we drank a ton of sangria and talked deep into the night far too loudly. It was wonderful. I can't currently find a picture from the meal, so here's a generic one of the station itself.

So we had a potluck where everyone brought something, and we did the best we could with what could be found on the island. I don't recall a turkey but there was ham, stuffing, enchiladas, sangria, and a bunch of other random things of decreasing traditional-ness.

Most of my Thanksgivings are abroad now but one of my favorites is when I was doing fieldwork in Bocas del Toro, Panama in 2007. The station manager arranged said "I know Thanksgiving is important to Americans (there were maybe four of us there), so we will have Thanksgiving at the station".

or maybe he just uses infrognito mode

do you think Kermit has ever googled pig naturals
