Today on Floridensis: Tigrosa georgicola, the Georgia wolf spider. It's October, y'all! Let's get our Lycosidae love going! floridensis.com/tigrosa-geor...

So it goes. RIP.

His subsequent stuff has been particularly landscapish, like habitats. Very ambient. Good soundscapjng (minus the beat and rhythm). More Eno than Club vibe. Solid stuff.

I'm not overly picky or hyper-critical of music, but it's also pretty hard to impress me deeply. Immunity is beyond impressive. It's a perfect, revelatory album with a soundscape like no other. This album is where I go when I feel cornered and need to regroup.

Mega props to Greta Lee (Eve) and Jodie-Turner Smith (Athena) - engaging, rich, and dynamic. NIN score was fittingly kinetic. Visually rich & delicious. Even Peters was Angry Evan Peters. Jared Leto was Thoughtful Jared Leto. Definitely wanted more for Gillian Anderson. Plot was, um, sort of plot.

I know it's not hitting well across the mainstream, but I personally had a blast with #TronAres, and I was definitely not expecting either the discussion of Depeche Mode or the vintage CGI from the early 80s. A bit of a GenX clickbait nostalgia flick, but, hey, I had a blast. Athena was incredible.

Good morning from Chicago. Clinton Avenue, looking south from the green line. 6:48 am on Friday 10 October 2025.

I’ve had the same thought. Love iNat, but I’m tracking species observations more than following specific people.

Kick it!

100% agree.

The 13th Largest Army in World Is Unleashing Violence in Chicago As federal agents kill and use extreme force in Chicago, their budget surges.

If Trump's deportation machine were an army, it would be the 13th largest on earth, ahead of Poland, Canada, Iran. The funding increase kicked in Oct 1, as federal agents unleash violence on the Chicago area, raiding communities and brutalizing protesters. By me & Lindsay Koshgarian, 📷 Steel Brooks.

Most excellent, and Flach is a wicked sharp photographer. This is a definite must-get!

Maybe Tyler Cowen is actually GROK?

Well played, sir.

Accounts like that piss me the ever loving hell off. Back in Florida, it was dumbasses with incorrect hurricane and flood footage. Sigh. Thank you for not being that kind of account.

All the fear-mongering lies and blatant disinformation in the world won't change the fact that Chicago is awesome, and it does not suffer fools gladly.

As Trump describes it, Chicago is the "worst and most dangerous city in the world." It's a hellhole, he says - a killing field, a disaster. Well, I spent another morning in downtown Chicago, and I guess I'm lucky to be alive? Chicago remains a beautiful and fantastic place to live.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

“SCIENCE BAD!“ Good luck, Florida. What a loser backward state. So glad we got out of there.

Update: Wet Leg store was indeed out of stock, but they refunded. Super awesome service. I was able to snag the tape through another vendor, and it is awesome possum. I fucking adore this band and both their albums.

Governor Pritzker speaks behind the podium.

In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago.

These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer.

This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.

Here we go, Chicago.

Im actually digitizing my old VHS right now. lol. Bought a vcr and adaptor last week! I’m up to 1993 now.

Can't reorder/replace. The Wet Leg store looks to be sold out. Good job, United States Postal Service. Thanks for the empty bag in another empty bag. Made my fucking day.

The unimaginable joy of finally receiving your package of the new, limited #WetLeg cassette tape (a month after ordering) and USPS delivers an empty package wrapped in another empty package that says they're sorry it was damaged. "WE CARE"... "We hope this incident did not inconvenience you." Fuck.

I read somewhere that dads who get their daughters a snow morph corn snake are adored more than other dads.

lol. That was my first response, too. Cicada Nerdery FTW!
