if you like 5-ht2a agonists you are a problem solver and if you like nmda receptor antagonists you are an ontologist. I don’t make the rules. (because I am a problem solver.)

obsessed with this banana octopus (inexplicably my top recommendation on amazon dot com)

banana octopus held in someone's hand in front of the ocean, where it presumably came from

3 banana octopuses marching across a table in a beach house apparently located on the same beach where a hand was holding it in the last photo

same three banana octopuses are chilling atop a "business analytics for professionals" book. as far as I could tell, the other two are not for sale.

What if our ears were like our eyes, and only had three (types of) receptors? Interestingly speech is still more or less intelligible, but not much else to me this shows how much more discriminating of frequencies our hearing is than our vision. Of course our vision has much more spatial resolution

look who decided to try reward hacking

a little gray cat stands up on her hind legs to attempt to pull an open, half-dispensed squeeze treat off a nightstand. one of her ears is tilted backwards to listen for her human coming back.

I think we often (nobly, out of desire for autonomy in others and maybe fear of corruption in ourselves) reject opportunities to wield power. but if we do that here, we may really become powerless.

it’s foster kitten season in the company cat room again, and I keep getting reports that this kitten is joining meetings

an orange and white kitten stands on his hind legs near the top of a large cat tree, peering through a window into an adjoining conference room

the same kitten, from the same spot, peers through a different window into a different adjoining conference room
