I was a bit sleepy last night when I read the thread,and I wanted to talk about the concept of "subspecies". For those who don't know me,I used to do fieldwork related to bird conservation. There is no universal definition for subspecies in biology. Moreover, there is no universal def. of 'species'

WBD planned to spinoff off its cable channels, like NBCU did. But Skydance wanted them. They believe in cable brands, and of transitioning them to streaming. I hope TCM is part of this evolution, even tho Skydance has separated it from their 50+ other cable networks. deadline.com/2026/10/skyd...

In the past month, I've started waking once a week at 1am--involuntarily--& being so wired that I can't get back to sleep all night. Couldn't figure out why. Wasn't doing anything different. Just realized: I'm scared by what I'm seeing in my research. Nihilistic billionaires toying with our lives.

Postscript: In 1951, medical ethics was purely academic. There was a huge gap between the theories being debated and the everyday practices of doctors. Lacks’s case helped force medical ethics out of abstract philosophy to ensure that a patient’s humanity cannot be separated from their biology.
A park named in honor of Henrietta Lacks in Baltimore. The Lacks family no longer sits on the sidelines of science. They are actively involved in how Henrietta’s genetic material is used. In 2013, the National Institutes of Health reached a historic agreement with the family. Two members of the Lacks family sit on a specialized NIH committee that reviews and decides which scientific applications are allowed to download and use the HeLa genome data. The family coordinates closely with the Henrietta Lacks Foundation to provide financial assistance to individuals and families who have made historic contributions to scientific research without their consent. Through their advocacy work — popularly known as the HELA100 initiative — the family has shifted the global narrative. Henrietta Lacks is no longer just a footnote in a medical textbook. She is recognized as a pioneer of modern patient consent.

Spritz says "Hot DOG lookit THAT!!! Now we'll have NO problem fittin' ya in the car. You're as flat as a stamp on a letter! Just gotta...drive ya tehre and we'll have you back at work in no time!"

// weight gain, flattening, cartoon physics Well, that didn't work. How are they gonna get outta this one...?
A comic panel of a cartoon mouse standing outside a realistic car with fat thighs spilling out of the door. Spritz, the mouse, says "I jus' don't get it! Stuffin' em in always works with MY car! Oh well. Okay, we're tryin' a different angle!" She grips Beatrice, the human, by the ankles and POPS her out of the car at high speed, making the car lurch over.Beatrice, the human, rests on her stomach looking disheveled and holding her head. Her fat ass is spilling behind her with a skirt that's ridden up to show her panties and her freckled asscheeks. She says "(Ugh, my head...) O-okay, so that didn't work. What's next, Spritz? ...Spritz?" She looks around, concerned, before hearing some warbled giggling and turns her head.Beatrice looks behind her, still beached like a whale. She says "A-are you okay?!" Spritz, flat as a sticker on the ground, smiling but looking dazed, giggles some more. She says "Ah-heh-eh...D-don't worry about me, doll! I c-can take it!"
