There are up to 8,000 species of katydids in family Tettigoniidae, 255 in North America alone. But this hot pink katydid isn't some exotic species, it's a 'morph', a normal genetic color variant. Here's the weird part: this is the DOMINANT color gene in katydids. (📷: Audubon Zoo)
From Audubon Insectarium article (it's behind a paywall), a vibrantly pink katydid, probably fresh from molting, sitting on broad green leaves.

We were struggling to figure out why my 11-year-old was getting a TLS error trying to connect to a game server until I realized his system clock was way off. He set it back to manipulate his time limits and was more mad I caught him than he was glad to join the game.

Continuing my string of healthy choices today, this is the first time I've bought a kringle without intent to share. Pumpkin.

"The benefit of the doubt is more than an expression. It is a life philosophy that asks us to be curious before we are certain, to leave room for an explanation, and to remember that the person on our screen has a life beyond the moment we are watching."

The whole video of this highlights why I think it's stupid that Reagan started the tradition of presidents saluting. He's trying to look stoic/regal but just demonstrates that the school his parents sent him off to didn't impart him with military bearing or discipline.

I normally stay out of the disc horse du jour, but the "transplant" gatekeeping of who can move to places is particularly irksome to me, a guy that didn't grow up in one spot. As an adult I've lived in and loved Queens, where 1 in 3 people aren't born in America and the Chicago area. I hurt no one.

Re: immigrant/transplant/native discourse: It comes down to the fact that some people are dickheads, and if the dickheads are from elsewhere you'll notice them more than been-around-forever dickheads. My controversial view: there's nothing wrong with moving, and it's better not to be a dickhead.

Imagine working at the Pentagon, after a couple decades of professional dedication and service and the TV anchor turned boss brings in a 29 year old Disney actor turned "boxer" to talk at you. Not sure if it's more embarrassing or insulting. (and don't even think about not shaving your face)

Some people think they're making clever commentary & it's just this half-baked exchange from Legally Blonde 2: Elle: I trusted you. I looked up to you. Rep Rudd: I can't do anyone any good if I'm no longer here. Elle: But you're not doing anybody any good. Nobody in your district. Not even yourself.
