#breadclip #HORG #occlupanid Surprise occlupanids in the #Splatoon 2 art book! Based on HORG's taxonomy they have all the hallmarks of Palpatophora utiliformis (www.horg.com/horg/?page_i...) but the oral groove suggests a cross with the Novenocentridae family (www.horg.com/horg/?page_i...)

Photo of a concept illustration from the Splatoon 2 art book. The illustration shows two bread clips in different shades of blue. The opening in the clips is shaped like an octopus with a rounded head and short tentacles. Text in a fictional script is printed on the bread clips

#nowplaying #vinyl 🎵 Future Islands - As Long as You Are (2020) First play of a new (to me) album

Photo of an orange vinyl record on a turntable with the album propped up on top of it. The album cover features a larger photograph of a patch of grass with a smaller photo inset in a large red rectangle. The smaller photo shows a white single-story house which appears to float on water. Plain white text in the red rectangle reads "Future Islands" and white cursive text on the larger photo reads "as long as you're here"
