Anyway, get on Canada’s level. Our first navy ship was the HMCS Rainbow 🌈 🌈 🌈

The problem with the navy is that it is a wellspring of gayness whether it wanted to be or not. There is nowhere Pete can pivot that isn’t gay af, he’s stuck. Keeping the name “navy” at least has plausible deniability.

#OTD 15/4/1953 #RememberRCN -HMCS CRUSADER destroys three Chinese supply trains in 24 hours off Tanch’on, Korea. Bringing the destroyers total to a record breaking four trains destroyed. To honour this accomplishment, her UN code name was changed from "Leadmine" to "Casey Jones."

This is a wrestling promo.

What a day to be followed by the study group of prisons and punitive institutions.

She doesn’t have a reflection, confirmed.

Watched the Ken Watanabe Godzilla last night and I’m sorry to say it still slaps and people were wrong. I love it so much. It’s very funny to me that it shares many of the ideas of Godzilla 1998 but doesn’t squander them.

I remember how exciting it was to read Animorphs and have a great respect for Applegate, who took her readers seriously and went so hard with her stories, but Ryan Coogler exec producing a new show hopefully means poor Cassey might get to shine more than she did in the books.

If we have a bad June the Avalon is going to rocket-launch to the moon.

Umbrella Corp bunker in the Resident Evil movie but when they come out, it’s the White House instead of some random mansion.

Watching a 90s Martha Stewart episode from the nineties that makes an omelette with TWENTY-ONE eggs.

No socks? No Sox!

Ok my important take about men's sports is that there should be no sans-culottes in baseball.

Glad to be of help!

There's a French thesis that has a couple paragraphs on the Laplace called Les missions militaires francaise au Japon entre 1867 et 1889 by Masaya Nakatsu, doc. diss Universite Sorbonne, 2018.

That’s too bad. The results are really good for British ships, not sure how they are for other navies.

If there was a way to strap a nuke to a man, the Americans would have invented it in the 1950s and called it the Davey Crockett.

Today feels as good a day as any to talk about anteater vaginas! So let's take a look at the uterus, uterine tubes and vaginas of giant anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), in both females and males. Because both sexes of anteater have these organs...

Some cat café has the chance to do the greatest prank ever for April 1st.

This is (I think) a Greater Blue-Eared Starling (Lamprotornis chalybaeus) & the amazing chrome job is their super-power.

They've evolved to manipulate light in VERY specific ways, attracting mates, intimidating rivals.

Let's look at the nanostructures that bring this bling into being.

This is all very Triscuit-y.

My Stupid Titanic BS knows no end, never fear.

Is Atlantic's pearl budget huge or do they just pass around the same necklace to clutch one at a time?

A visit to Crystal Palace Park to see work on the 1854 dinosaur models. I'm just as interested in the fabulous mudscapes created as their setting. Amazing to recall that Benjamin Walter Waterhouse hosted a dinner *inside* the Iguanadon before it was revealed to the world. What a publicity stunt!

Loved this one. Ace Attorney on overdrive.
