woah this is genuinely, utterly WILD Ant queens of one species produce males of another species, so she can then mate with them and produce hybrid workers! This is so gloriously weird I can't quite compute it 🤯🧪🐜 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This one has been tough. Two pretty blues that can be gems. Cute + blue are my weaknesses (for minerals). #Jeremejevite is pleochroic & multi-hued. #Haüyne is volcanic and bright blue. I'm going with volcanic, but I enjoyed learning about jeremejevite. www.mindat.org/photo-140088...
Today, we have 2 minerals that do weird things with polarized light, & look kinda blue doing it. #Haüyne is "sometimes" used as a gem, & didn't catch our fancy. Now, #Jeremejevite is a rare crystal prized in jewelry BUT ALSO can generate electricity under pressure (Piezoelectric #IYKYK). eRock wins!
Like she wasn't even trying to speak in code, she just straight up forgot she was still on the line and didn't hang up. Probably had earbuds in. There is a recording at the beginning of every call telling you the call WILL be recorded
I'm also still laughing how she called her son who was IN PRISON and when he dropped off she was still on the phone and didn't hang up, so the prison recorded her talking to someone else about how she was buying one-way tickets to Vietnam. Phone calls to jail/prison are ALWAYS recorded
He's an old man, it's only a matter of time 🙏
im still laughing at how Donna Adelson apparently took "money laundering" literally mam, run the cash through your drier first before you hand it over to the hitman you hired to kill your ex-son-in-law

Pro tip for covering pregnancy-related arrests: don't use the word 'infant' before finding out what actually happened. More often than not, these are miscarriages, but outlets will repeat the language cops use - smearing women in the process www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
“The voices of survivors have been omitted from the conversation for far too long …This is the moment to stand united to ensure that those who’ve been exploited and abused are heard loud and clear.” www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...
Ah yes it is the strategy of “explicitly warning you in advance of my exact intentions” that keeps backfiring, unlike the strategy of “not believing the explicit warnings and nominating them anyways” which continues to get results
Especially *three years from the election*

Maybe it's because I don't hang out with them enough but can we all just pour one out for all the librarians who got advanced degrees in how to query and organize huge amounts of information who are now being told to teach students to use alphabet soup to divine fake answers to complex questions?
*cracks knuckles* okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public? now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.

A recent set of cash-transfer programs had lackluster results—but cash is still "near unmatched as a salve for poverty," @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues:

I don't trust them, they are a squid in the grass... With a mantle length of 22 mm, Grass Squids (Pickfordiateuthis pulchella) are one of the tiniest species of squid. They aren't quite as small as pygmy squids which belong to a different order. #SQUIDtember
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
Same. This is so exhausting seeing this argument over and over again since my first election.
Also as far as I know those conclusions have not been backed up by anyone else who has studied it. Most of the research I'm aware of is that it derives from the same place as other sexual crimes, a desire for power and control over another person, possibly combined with insecurity
i did a deep dive on this research a year back and it’s mostly by ppl published by a small pedophile lobbyist group that runs a fake journal the editor of which tried to get ephebophilia differentiated from pedophile in the dsm 5, arguing it’s only considered a taboo in western culture
Great thread from a Californian about why Newsom should lose every election he runs in for the rest of his life
Why I hate Gavin Newsom: a thread In 2021, our county experienced a catastrophe. The Dixie Fire started in July, and by the beginning of August had burned hundreds of thousands of acres and the towns of Canyondam, Indian Falls, and Greenville.
We tried that for every election cycle of my adult life, and every single time the candidates we did support got ratfucked by the party establishment and the media, and then right after the primaries ended we were told it was too late to try to pressure the nominee. What's your solution to that?
I’m not a leftist. I’m a registered Dem. I’m also a resident of the state of California. I will not vote for Newsom. This isn’t a threat. It’s not meant to warn anyone about anything. It’s meant to point out that along with throwing away vulnerable people, he’s simply bad at his current job.
I'd write in Vermin Supreme before I'd vote for Newsom in any election
Pritzker again exhorts the news media to tell the truth about what's happening: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal."
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
It's cleared up so I guess his Fluids Change went well
Goodnight from Nell Peck, bleary-eyed from an evening cutting up newspapers to make threats to post to her rivals for the title of Harvest Queen. Goodnight from Mags Palter, suddenly afraid of the dark and wishing she still had her childhood ceramic cottage night light. Goodnight from Hookland.

Hi, what the fuck is going on at Walter Reed?
WHITE HOUSE AIDE: we need a distraction from the president being dead OTHER WHITE HOUSE AIDE: let’s kill Rudy
He died. He died on the toilet but “not the way you think,” a White House spokesperson said in a brief statement before declining follow-up questions.
Whenever I think about this I post it again because it makes me laugh every time
he's no better than Trump hth
why
It’s a little weird to demand people vote for a candidate as a necessary lesser evil three years before you even know if they’re going to be the candidate
It's minor enough that I feel like I should ignore it and it does go away, but it always comes back when I least expect it. I'm beginning to think my ear canal is sweating somehow. Anyway, it's annoying Thank you for listening to my plight 🙏
For the last two months my left ear canal has felt like it's bleeding or oozing something. It isn't, qtips come out dry and clean and I even had my doctor check it and it looks fine. But I still feel nonexistent fluid dripping from it and frankly it's starting to drive me insane
bases are loaded. we got a triple on deck

It was a very sad early childhood accident
no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say rudy giuliani died from driving his car into a wall painted to look like a tunnel and all his clothes flew off in the crash and then a sixteen wheeler semi truck ran over his dick and balls. don’t say stuff like that

I’d offer Giuliani thoughts & prayers but I’m told that harms the undead.
lmao what train. Where? Passenger rail is not common here, and even regions that have light rail/subway systems aren't always a good substitute for driving
Rudy Giuliani won’t see your mocking posts, but your friends whose dark hair dye is melting onto their face and whose personal and professional lives are a complete mess will.
Is "wwwho" a dogwhistle for something or just this dude's weird typing
It’s not that Klein doesn’t take the right seriously. It’s that people like him take the right TOO seriously. They examine right-wing beliefs as an extension of valid policy objections, rather than almost entirely arising from the right giving people permission to indulge in inchoate resentments

Chatbots killing their users suggests that big tech has transitioned from simple parasite to parasitoid, indicating that keeping the host alive is no longer essential for their evolutionary strategy
This seems weirdly unsustainable at first, but it's OK because we're building a Dyson sphere around the solar system to host it.
Smh organic? How primitive. My silicon-based daughter could beat his carbon-based one in a heartbeat
there is no coherent thought process behind this sadly

Found the cop who found me.
not to make everything about myself, but I would argue this is true of science & academia. everything is so underfunded and unstable that anyone speaking up risks losing access to projects they've worked on for 10, 15, 20 years. the money people know we want to do good, and they use it against us.
Oh they'll find a way to ban that too

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Hey Firefox users.
Yall no Native person uses First Nation. It’s generally used for Canadian tribes only. Call Native “Americans” just Native. And better, call us by our specific tribe if you can.
