OK, so this definitely needs to get added to the "why I threw her paintings in the pool" unpredictable sentence competition. It has that same Mad Libs air.

You're watching a leptocephalus ("slim-head"), the larval stage of an eel. Wait for the unrolling! You can see why early naturalists thought they were their own species, but this little guy will grow up into an adult eel, if he manages to stay concealed. (📷: Robert Stansfield, Blackwater Cozumel)

A lot of arguments re: evolutionary psychology end up revolving around "are humans more like chimpanzees or bonobos" (we are equally closely related to both) And the real answer is "neither, for reasons that are very obvious if you aren't ideologically motivated to ignore them" Let me explain:

He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.
A comic called Animals with Misleading Names. There's an electric eel labeled "not an eel". There's a mountain goat labeled "not a goat." There's a maned wolf labeled "not a wolf." There's a king cobra labeled "not a cobra. Also, snakes are typically self-governing." There's a peacock mantis shrimp labeled "Not a peacock. Not a mantis. Also, not a shrimp." There's a horny toad labeled "Not a toad. Only thinks of you as a friend." There's a mayfly labeled "active through the spring and summer." There's an eastern kingbird labeled "found in the west. Many birds do not recognize its authority."

Thank you to everyone who has shared this. The hearing is over for today. DHS has filed a motion to pretermit (end Guan's asylum application in the US) and have him sent to Uganda - where he'd be at risk of being sent to China. The hearing to decide that will be held 12 January.

This is not true. Musk is endorsing (again) a version of the white nationalist great replacement theory, as told by Stephen Miller. It is a conspiracy theory and it was confined to the fringes of the Internet until 10 or so years ago. If true, Harris would’ve easily won in 2024.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector. 100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land. That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

Text from a friend:
Just an idea for you to tweet (or whatever you use these days) 

An alternative strategy for limiting flights from major airports would be closing small (private jet) airports and sending those air traffic controllers to the main hubs.  

But that would impact private jets and that would be terrible.

PSA on MN law. First-degree murder requires a grand jury indictment in MN. Folks who get prosecuted for first-degree murder are first charged with second-degree murder, which does not require a grand jury indictment. That’s just a placeholder charge until prosecutors can get to the grand jury.
