I much prefer capturing phantastical images from Reality as opposed to using Generative AI. In this case, a fiery and bossy red-haired Sky-Siren shrieks above the South Atlantic between Antarctica and me. The beach was evidently sculpted and colored by the French Surrealist Yves Tanguy.

Digital versus Analog / Summation versus Integration / imagery for Math education... "summed up" as it were (I couldn't resist).

Technically speaking, Arthropleura (this 10 foot long Millipede from the Carboniferous) is not an ancestor of hoomyns, but I find this meme amusing anyway.

Fascinating. I note with special interest "Head Injury" as plausible causal explanation for the mysterious "Florida Man" phenomenon. Geographical clustering of "Suffocation" in High Desert biogeophysical region is also thought-provoking.

As my Poppa always said, "Finding that the field of play has been distorted can be hopelessly confounding, even if the rules of the game have not changed". (and, yes: planning moves on this geometrically altered 8x8 matrix would be exhausting...)

A red and white chessboard with pieces in play, but the regular 8x8 grid has been highly distorted into highly Irregular curvilinear quadrilaterals.

Thank you, and shared on FB etc. I've been bemoaning insect population collapse for decades and it hit me especially viscerally this summer: I live in a place nicknamed "Dragonfly Meadows", but this summer... I've only seen ONE Dragonfly in what seems an otherwise ideal 3-pond habitat. Tragic.

As much as I am in awe of Beetles for many reasons, I do nonetheless find this beetle meme gently amusing, and Otter means no disrespect to this taxonomic group.

As a former taxonomist, I should like to point out that Habeas corpus is actually a species of terrestrial snail found in Brazil, described by Simone (2013, Journal of Conchology). Little is known about the genus Habeas, typically collected in caves. But Noem should've known 🙄😜

Reminder to ALWAYS ask AI LLMs (and hoomyns) if they are lying to you if you have doubts. At least in this case, my inquisition yielded a confession.

When Brutalist Architecture is Life-saving: Bus Stops in Western Hebrides and North Skye. Winds can reach around 120-140mph. Such winds and sleet/snow/rain can be deadly, the risk of severe hypothermia is real. These are an essential part of life there, and have saved many people during storms.

Different organisms have different "speeds of life". Here a snail experiences going at "warp speed".
