Spemann-Mangold organizer in newts (though as a cnidarian biologist I must also note that a similar tissue organizer was also discovered by Ethel Browne Harvey in Hydra viridissima)

So glad another fan base gets to enjoy The Mamu Experience.

I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better. I know I’m preaching to the choir by saying this on the lib app but I sometimes just get so overwhelmed by how special it is

can't remember if we've had this conversation before but the first time I ever saw this movie was like right before the 2004 election, and the whole time I kept thinking about how David Gale's evil doctor character looked like John Kerry

Gonna need a @damonagnos.bsky.social investigation into whether Daryl Morey (and/or MacMahon reporting on Morey) stole his "comfortable being uncomfortable" bit from Six Finger Satellite

incredibly menacing dog, too, one of the all-time great animal acting performances

yeah my most "fell for it again award" trait is that I'm sick of gimmick stouts but also try almost all of them

Driving into work I saw a bumper sticker that read "good girls go to heaven, bad girls live in Sacramento."

LP jacket of Roky Erickson and the Aliens - The Evil One. It depicts a black and white photo of a door with a spooky shadow arm reaching for the doorknob.

Tis the season.

you can, in fact, show the world that love is still alive and be brave

screenshot from Brian Crim's book Our Germans. "...Council. During his assignment fulfilling Hitler’s June 1942 decree requiring “leading men of science” to work on military projects, Osenberg compiled a list of approximately fifteen thousand names. 106 In March 1945, a Polish lab technician discovered portions of the list in an unflushed toilet, from which it promptly found its way to the Combined Intelligence Objectives Subcommittee (CIOS) organized by British and American (Anglo-American for short) intelligence services. Osenberg voluntarily surrendered the complete list along with summaries of the scientists’ expertise and a trove of documents, such as research contracts and the status of “special weapons” like the V-2. 107 US Army major Robert Staver relied on the Osenberg file to create the military’s black list of targets used to direct Project Paperclip recruiting efforts for the next decade. The Osenberg list led Allied forces to von Braun’s..."

I've crunched the numbers and this is the most important video on youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-MS...

I always proselytize about Robert Wyatt to their fans. What if their music was even weirder and more progressive and made by a lifelong socialist.
