Finally watched Bugonia. Great documentary of what happens if you keep non-native bees.

All you need to know about how cool Geese are is how low that bass is being played.

If I know you use this I will literally never cite your work again, because there is literally no way to trust it or you

As someone who grew up driving in this canyon, the real secret is to just go slow. Or, as the other commenter said, just don't if it's really bad enough.

Lol nevermind that wasn’t even a first down

Okay, you know what, a first down run is basically good enough.

Blucifer giveth and blucifer taketh away.

My kingdom for a CJ Anderson-esque TD run in this game.

Yeah, I just can't fully get behind an all-dome NFL. "Any given Sunday" is one of my favorite parts of the game, and weather is absolutely part of that. (Ignore the fact I'm a Broncos fan, a team that definitely doesn't have a mile-high homegame advantage or anything...)

The only thing better is a DL pick six

There is nothing more pure in life than a fat man touchdown.

FRANK CRUM, WELCOME TO VALHALLA!

no, being a real shitlord to people who you find annoying on social media from the comfort and convenience of your own home is not actually praxis, much as you may wish it were so

This is actually the problem I have with lime. Especially as a fat Seattleite

bsky didn't pull in a nice preview so here's a bit more info:

Oh man, a mathematically robust exploration of mutualistic community dynamics with code examples in python??? 😍😍😍

[reading one book by Nabokov] truly this man was troubled but inarguably brilliant, a pedlar of the voluptuous to his fellow embarrassed and abused sybarites

[reading six books by Nabokov] truly this man loved bugs

Finally saw the #Pluribus season finale -- so freaking good. That opening scene was haunting. I need season 2 asap.

I'm an ecologist with an undergrad degree in evolutionary bio and yeah, you can't seriously study biology without quickly realizing that the only hard and fast rule is that there's an exception to literally every rule that has ever been formulated. Life is *weird* (and beautiful for that weirdness!)

Crazy to see Redvale…My grandma once told me that it used to be “Fredvale” until an oversized semi came along and knocked the “f” off the sign.

To inspire and provoke thought. To convey *voice*. My academic future might end up being determined by my publications and citations but it will never be worth it to increase “productivity” by smothering my voice. A hollow tower of citations could never keep me warm.

Oof. It’s so refreshing to read such an insightful and well written article. In a sea of slop, I love reading a line like “But solutions curdle”. An LLM could never. And it’s a reminder of one of the most important reasons we write:

People are like “oh well it’s just the way it is now” no it’s not!! You can simply not open a ChatGPT window!!! You can still ask your friends questions instead of asking the bullshit machine!!!

And I say this as someone who played and beat all of the best game candidates this year. They’re all awesome! But I can’t fathom caring about other game’s fan’s tears. 3k fucking upvotes for this?? Just gommage me now.

I feel genuinely insane when I see really emotional and tribal posts in video game subreddits re: the game awards. Who cares about the game awards?? Is it a psyop by their marketing when I see someone crash out that “their” game didn’t win??
