The idiom "like a moth to the flame" dates to at least the 12th century, to Persian love poem "Layla and Majnun". Shakespeare references it in "Merchant of Venice." But here's the thing. Moths DON'T fly to flames. And we're just now understanding that. Let's talk about dorsal light response.

just some wasp resting... with moth-like antennae, and a moth-like fluffy body, and kinda moth-like legs, and--hey what the heck~ #bugsky #moth #insect #mimic

a black and yellow striped insect on a green leaf. it very much resembles a wasp, but it is a moth. Pennisetia marginatum
not sure why it's holding two legs up like that - at first i thought this was a big wasp being eaten by a spider

this moth belongs to the family Sesiidae, or clearwings. many of its members are mimics of wasps (or other insects, like scorpionflies!)

Humans on mars is a useless endeavour. I'd like to see humanity successfully create a long-term colony on Earth first. Long-term meaning sustainable for an indefinite period of time.

You know, anyone who is in a position of great power is kinda stuck in a catch-22. If you are the leader of a large country, thousands of people will die because of your actions or inactions no matter what you do.

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

People love a simple story... Suppose that the tariff was collected overseas, before the products are shipped. The overseas supplier would simply charge the importer more to compensate. It doesn't matter where the tariff is collected. The whole supply chain pays whatever they can tolerate.

This is literally just cranked up contrast, it was probably done on accident I have no idea who this person is and I dont know any context, but it must be extremely politically charged for people to start interpreting a simple image filter as racism.
