This is not efficiency, this is abandonment. Americans deserve health care that works for them — and instead, the Trump administration is wreaking havoc on seniors, people with disabilities, and our most vulnerable. In Illinois, we will stand up against these attacks.

One fun thing about working on #ctenophores (comb jellies) is that you get to see animals nobody has depicted for more than a century. I haven't found any images of Deiopea from the time between Chun's 1880 drawing and my 1990s photo. Even shallow SCUBA exploration can yield surprises 🌊🦑🧪
Left image is a line drawing of a comb jelly from Carl Chun's 1880 masterpiece based on a specimen from the Mediterranean Sea. On the right is a photo of the same species (or at least the same genus) collected with blue-water scuba diving off the coast of Santa Barbara, CA. The photo shows thin bluish-white canals outlining the body against a black backdrop. The widely spaced comb plates are a diagnostic feature of this lobate ctenophore. 
The image from Chun has been rotated 180° to align with our modern understanding of these animals. Historically, they have been interpreted like medusa jellyfish, with the mouth down, but we know they encounter their environment oral end first.

Although he did indeed likely misidentify some of these fish species, it's important to remember that in total, Beebe documented the existence of 87 species of fish. He contributed significantly to ichthyology.

Prometheus @prometheusatheist.bsky.social · 13/02/2025
However, about 5 of the fish Beebe documented have never been confirmed to exist. They have never been seen since. One fish that he documented in particular is thought to be a misidentified comb jelly, because they look very similar to the fish that Beebe documented. 2/

Fun Fact: One of William Beebe's "untouchable fish" was likely a comb jelly. In the 1930s, William Beebe went into the ocean in a bathysphere, essentially a very crude stationary submarine. While down in the ocean, he saw several species of fish that he documented. 1/

K is for Kiwa. In hydrothermal vents and methane seeps >1000m, exotic locales like Antarctica and the Galapagos, yeti crabs (of octonauts fame) thrive. Divorced from sunlight, they farm chemosynthetic bacteria on their own claws, waving them around! Art @thefuzzyslug.bsky.social #CrabAZ 🦀🧪🦑
Kiwa hirsuta, photo Alexis Fifis.

Elongated white squat lobster, seen dorsally. Most notable feature is hairy legs (hirsuta = hairy) and exceptionally hairy claws. The proximal parts of the claws are more than 2x the length of the carapace @thefuzzyslug artwork of a group of 15+ white Kiwa tyleri, all overlapping each other and taking up nearly the entire frame. This is true to their real life behavior. Some colored anemones are in the corners.

Or what if they're worshipping the wrong god? What if god is actually an Alien with 50 eyes named XODXZKEINMBDZ, and it doesn't respond to the word "god"?? And so for the hundreds of thousands of years humans have been around, they've never actually encountered XODXZKEINMBDZ before.

In the past 10,000 years, humans have devised roughly 100,000 religions based on roughly 2,500 gods. So the only difference between myself and the believers is that I am skeptical of 2,500 gods whereas they are skeptical of 2,499 gods. We're only one god away from total agreement

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.) The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.

I think it's very possible. Out of the stars, planets, and galaxies, I find it hard to believe we're the only intelligent life in the universe. We know for a fact that some meteorites have bacteria fossils in them, so, somewhere out there is microbial life.

It should be noted that in addition these are women with desired pregnancies- who had baby showers and prepared for a new baby. So this isn’t an elective procedure -this is a medical emergency where a pregnancy has died inside the mother & has to be removed or she dies period. Sin my ass 🤬

Exactly. If their god is all knowing, all seeing, and all powerful, and he just let's these atrocities happen, then he's not a god, he's a monster. If he isn't all knowing, all seeing, or all powerful, then he also isn't a god. It doesn't matter, their god is fictional either way.

he responds with "Nobody has to prove anything to you!" Like, if you can't prove your god exists, you're not willing to show evidence, why did you even respond? When asked for evidence, they either instantly back off, or they provide fallacies. No actual evidence to be found.

100% correct. Christians need to demonstrate that their god exists, before they can claim he did all of the stuff they claim he has done. For instance, christians claim their god created the universe. They need evidence that their god exists first, before they can make that claim. 1/
