Either celebrate games as art, or drop the pretence. There’s not really a middle ground.

Macro photograph in side view of a wasp-like black ant with long mandibles crouched on a gray tree trunk with antennae raised, looking wary of us. The eyes are bulging black orbs, the legs light red, and the abdomen is covered in a golden sheen.

Comic. [Person with a white hat and person with a ponytail face a third person with a poster behind them. The poster shows Earth and space beyond, and in space there is a rectangular banner with different space features on it.] PERSON WITH PONYTAIL: Aren’t you worried these will be disruptive for ground-based astronomy? PERSON 3: No, why? [caption] My new company is being criticized for our satellites that deploy 100-mile-wide banners painted with inaccurate pictures of the night sky.

Two Littlest Pet Shop customs of Eggchan and Wemmbu from Unstable SMP. On the left is an axolotl with its entire head painted to resemble a big eyeball. He is in a suit and tie. On the right is a goat painted purple, with darker purple hair on his head and chest. He is looking to the left with his eyes half closed in a smug expression. A handmade clay crown with a single purple painted jewel sits on his head.

These things threatened to orbital strike my house when i finished painting them. Rude and unruly.

When the moment is not right
Her timing is quite

But her intuition magic
And the shape of her body?

Once established, this tolerance persists with occasional re-encounters with ants of the s...

Ants are experts at telling nestmates from foreigners via subtle differences in odor profiles. In this new paper, we explore the conditions under which ants develop and maintain tolerance to foreigners. Turns out the ant recognition system is surprisingly plastic.
