Most of the people responding to this are reading it as "man justifying his desire non-monogamy by referencing animal behavior" but my immediate and genuine thought was "damn, my nonomonogamous ass *does* love talking about animals, you got me"

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.

This tooth from something like Acrocanthosaurus was found in five parts over several months. The tip turned up nearly a year later—see how it's weathered differently? This is the advantage of long-term regular surface collecting at Dinosaur Park: you miss nothing.

WHOA. This is big news. Mr. Soliman is a 31-year-old gay man from Egypt who came here at 3 with a green card. He lost his green card after a conviction, but an immigration judge found that he would be persecuted in Egypt and barred sending him there. He's locked in a hotel in Equatorial Guinea now.
A federal judge has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to return Ahmed Soliman to the United States, five months after he was expelled to Equatorial Guinea, a country where he has no ties, in a decision that could have far-reaching implications for thousands of others subjected to the Trump administration’s third-country removal scheme.

Arizona District Court Judge John C. Hinderaker, a Trump appointee, ruled that DHS violated the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment and “must facilitate Plaintiff’s release from custody in Equatorial Guinea and return to the United States and must ensure his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to Equatorial Guinea.”

Have you ever seen a flapjack devilfish? Growing up to 1.5 in (3.8 cm) long, this tiny cephalopod isn’t a strong swimmer. Instead, it spends most of its time in pancakey flatness on the seafloor, where it hunts for worms & small invertebrates. Photo: Totti, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons
