Really good. I didn’t know Takamoto’s personal history.

1 [Title panel] BEE TALK [News-type magazine show, with bees]

2 ANCHOR BEE: Tonight: America Divided

3 Will bees and murder hornets ever find a path to reconciliation?

4 Cheryl? 

CHERYL BEE: Well, on the one hand this is partly caused by social media...

5 Algorithms are making us *hyper-aware* of insects who have different values to us, and this is having a polarising effect.

ANCHOR BEE: Mmm.

6 Also the murder hornets want to chew off my head and eat my kids.

7 ANCHOR BEE: Jason? 

8 JASON MURDER HORNET: You see, this is what debate has *become* in this country.

9 Bees pretend to be all fuzzy and nice, but they simply *won’t accept* different worldviews!

10 I mean, ultimately we're all the same, right?

You want to buzz around, gather pollen and make honey...

11 I want to chop off your head and legs, gather your thorax and nibble your kids.

12 CHERYL BEE: [GETTING UP]: I’m leaving

JASON MURDER HORNET: Oh she’s *triggered*

[Ends]

From November 2020, when murder hornets were killing the bees in the US

A baby bat and a baby crow at a birthday party. They are sitting around a birthday cake. Both of them are wearing a party hat. Yellow and red confettis are falling down

I told Spencer: "Happy Birthday! But you need not be this excited."

A large owl with yellow eyes and a look of resignation. It has two ear tufts, blowing in a strong breeze. It shares the same colours and textures as the branches around it.

I’m usually lucky enough to find one great horned owl a year, and I saw this one blending with branches in a scraggly forest on Sunday, buffeted by a harsh wind. I share its look of resignation – I am done with this winter, even if it isn’t done with this owl and me. #birds

Honestly just makes me sad for the state of our education system and the bottom dwellers that have been elected to office so they can ask these questions. Dumb fucks all of them, and no I will not forgive a single one.

I really loved MacKenzie Crook’s latest, β€œSmall Prophets”. The only place we could find it was on YT. Highly recommended. (I love everything M. Crook πŸ’•)

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

I have nothing good to say about Anthropic just like I have nothing good to say about Muskrat during his spat with the orange man, or any of the orange man's associates when he turns on them. Anthropic knowingly partnered with the pentagon. Their other partner, Palantir,...
