Did a grocery store run towing the trailer - getting physically and mentally prepared for $10/gal gas 🙃😉.

It's a primary! I don't care about some chimerical vision of "electability"!!

I hate that I understood a significant percentage of this. 😬

Also I'm assuming this was remote piloted (even if the company claims otherwise).

veritable gospel cetology

Pulsar al pastor.

A hive frame with bees. The queen is pretty obvious just up and right of center.

Big 🐝 bee quiz of the day: spot the queen. *difficulty level loooow*

n.b. when I needed to handle them, I was careful: stout gloves on and hand sanitizer nearby. The sanitizer was to encourage them to release if I ever got chomped. They don't strike, they grab and grind to envenomate. A little squirt of alco-gel = blechh spit it out.

A+ choice, 12yo! I once babysat a pair of Gila Monsters - the only "hots*" I've ever handled - and I can vouch for "not a threat."

*venomous herp

Gila monster - Wikipedia

Today the 12yo has declared Gila Monster Awareness Day!

This large but sluggish venomous lizard of the southwest US and northwest Mexico is not a threat to people despite its name and threatening reputation. They spend 90% of underground or in rocky shelters.

I just opened the Criterion Channel app (gonna watch Robocop in a bit) and noticed they're featuring 3 Tourneur films. If you haven't seen it, I can't recommend Out of the Past strongly enough - a perfect noir.

The little exhale before the reporter asks, "are you mogging me right now?" is perfect. "You little pissant" expressed in a breath.

The Pokémon universe goes hard on ecology and climate science The Pokémon franchise, including its recent game Pokémon Pokopia, is inspired by real animals and their ecology. It’s no surprise that so many scientists love to try and “catch ’em all”

Editing this @sciam.bsky.social piece brought the six-year-old Pokémon trainer in me. Thanks @whysharksmatter.bsky.social for the nostalgia trip (and for allowing me to flex my Pokémon knowledge)! www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

Historical marker: "4D 63 MABEL LOUISE "BIG MAYBELLE" SMITH Born circa 1924 in Jackson, Tennessee, "Big Maybelle" became a powerful Rhythm & Blues Singer. With her emotive delivery, and as one of the premier R&B chanteuses of the 1950s, she served as an essential link between raucous 1950s R&B and the soul sounds that emerged in the next decade. Her recordings include Candy, which received the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999, and the original version of Whole Lot of Shakin Going On. Her career led her to sing at the famous Apollo Theatre in New York City. She died January 23, 1972, in Cleveland, Ohio, and later buried there in Evergreen Cemetery. In 2011 Smith was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. TENNESSEE HISTORICAL COMMISSION"

For everyone, but esp for @andrewhickey.500songs.com . Seen on my bike ride back from Jackson, TN after dropping my truck off at the repair shop - I had to stop and take a photo.
