There are so many people who misunderstand evolution. It would be better for me if they didn’t. So, check out this list of common misconceptions!

evolution.berkeley.edu/misconceptio...

I see it evolving due to environmental pressures and reproductive patterns in populations. Humans who don’t live near pollution or natural disaster sites, have the highest tolerance for toxins, aren’t killed by political polarization, and have a lot of children will be the fittest.

Or do I? I will never know

My absolute favorite artistic activity is burying the lead so that not even I can find it. That's how I keep my artistic integrity--it's a double blind study--even I don't know what is going on, and I like it better that way.

- KV, jr.
That's how I came to call my RPG 'Leaks'. Leaks is based on characters I designed like the Giant Sand Worm, who bursts through the ground, scaring everyone, and then participates in conversation with tiny creatures by reciting immense quotes, and earth-shaking puns.

"Sometimes somebody would say in his presence, 'Excuse me, I have to take a leak.' This was a way of saying that the speaker intended to drain liquid wastes from his body through a valve in his lower abdomen. And Trout would reply..., 'Where I come from, that means you're about to steal a mirror.'"

I decided I wanted a fish name because of a character in Kurt Vonnegut's books named Kilgore Trout. Kilgore Trout wrote scifi novels and seemed to walk between dimensions, between stories. He was an important character, also comic relief, and a vehicle for KV's story ideas,

“the fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything." - 'This is a Film' by Iggy Pop & Goran Bregovic, a song in Arizona Dream by Emir Kusturica, which is one of my favorite movies.

And I decided on Billy Halibut when thinking of a good stage name...

Chordata all have a notochord (become vertebra after embryo develops), a hollow dorsal nerve cord (brain and spinal cord), an endostyle or thyroid, pharyngeal slits/pouches (become our face after embryo), and a post-anal tail (tailbone in humans).
Fish also have all of these things. Fish don't need

We share a common ancestor with fish, called Chordates. Having a spinal cord is one of the big identifiers of the Chordata phylum (phylum is below kingdom, and above class).

This artistic performance persona is a perfect foil to Billy D., who has stayed the same for decades. I like science fiction, evolutionary biology, and Deep Listening™.
I tend to think of the world in terms of population dynamics. I tend to think of humans as a terrestrial species with a spinal cord

that is missing pieces. When I make choices for my brand, I like them to create no pattern whatsoever--a pattern woven of a broken pattern, discontinued, and replaced by another pattern. And so on. That way no brand can develop, and I can stay unknown, even to myself. I become someone new every day!

We all use various identities throughout our lives. Each new social group calls for each individual to craft a unique social version of themselves that reflects in the other homo sapiens in that social group.
So, I, Billy Halibut, do the same, but with artistic choices. An identity puzzle of mystery

That's Billy Halibut! Billy Halibut is nom de plume of the homo sapien, Billy D. aka Bill Love aka Billy Dickie aka Silent Bill of the Golden Whisper aka Wild Bill, Scourge of the East. I am an independent homo sapien. Billy Halibut is a performance artist that uses their own identity as a canvas.

A homo sapien from shoulders to top of head stands in front of a white painted block-wall. Homo sapien is wearing a green button up shirt. Homo sapien has green/blue eyes and curly, thin hair. Homo sapien is looking at camera with benevolence, integrity, and a little prudishness.

Who is this?

One of my true selves (pictured) once dug furrows in the snow, it was a particularly aggressive day. It's the same self that makes a sick face in every photo taken by a parent.

I get yelled at here a lot for being all stick and no carrot with the Dems, so: this is really good by Hochul. It appears she's also pledging fifty million dollars to help the legal defense of other people who've been abducted.

Prez probably paid for the killings

Brad Lander, NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate, is arrested outside immigration court New York City comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander has been arrested at a federal building in Manhattan as he was trying to accompany a person out of an immigration courtroom.

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

What a chump
