#chihuahua #dogs Lola in one of her regal, nonchalant poses (pine needle for scale).

Black and tan Chihuahua mix sits on a striped pillow with her front paws extended, head raised and eyes closed. A pine needle at her front paw is about as long as she.

#worldcup #dogs #chihuahua My chihuahua mix could not bring herself to watch Mexico’s valiant struggle.

A stoic black and brown chihuahua mix looks away from the large TV behind her to avoid seeing the deadly dull English team vanquishing the far more elegant and exciting Mexican side.

#birds #birding #crow #moth How many crows does it take to subdue a dangerous moth? Evidence of tool use in Corvus brachyrhynchos, if by tool you mean beak and if by use you mean bludgeoning a beautiful moth (and still I love them).

Descriptions of potus also great: "litte-minded", "morally-underdeveloped"... tinyurl.com/v9mra3f4

🧪 #alzheimer #amyloid Amazing new paper from @sfackley.bsky.social that exposes the statistical alchemy Lilly applied to their donanemab data: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... There is little to no correlation between amyoid removal and clinical outcomes with donanemab (or lecanemab).

#movies #organ Big studios worried about no one going to the movies just need an organist and a big red curtain for every showing of every movie in every multiplex in America. Example here from the Stanford Theater (entirely subsidized by Packard foundation, but I’m sure there’s a profitable model).
