Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

Today the closest I've seen to someone defending Labour's horrific new immigration policy and rhetoric is someone milkily suggesting that it's just the right-wing media saying Labour are doing this and we should take it with a pinch of salt. No real defence. Bollocks anyway. LABOUR said it.

For decades, Greebles have been used as stimuli in psychology studies on facial recognition. Greebles come in five families (Samar, Galli, Osmit, Radok and Tasio) and two genders (plok and glip).
Though nobody is sure where they come from, science owes these odd creatures an enormous debt.

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much”
SNAP does not drive up grocery prices.
That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed.
For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy.
While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

And to think, I accused these people of cynically deploying an utterly disingenuous, vexatious, deeply harmful “anti-racism” to fool stupid libs, for entirely self-interested political goals. I now acknowledge they would never do anything so reckless and despicable. Wow, do I feel like a fool.

A clip of the active orcas we saw off Bainbridge Island while out with the @whaleresearch.bsky.social yesterday 🤩
In addition to being very surface active, they were also vocalizing, allowing us to get our first-ever Bigg's killer whale calls paired with drone video.

At this point the challenge for Labour MPs is, I think, to stop getting cross at people calling out the government for being "racist" or "fascist' (it is certainly the former and it is behaving increasingly like the latter), and ask themselves what they, personally, are going to do about it.

The variation in how the premaxillary and frontoparietal bony crests are angled is also interesting - anywhere from 21 degrees to about 50. This variation would be expected in a sexually selected feature, like a giant brightly-colored head crest (and we know it was probably striking red)

#PrehistoricPlanetIceAge accurately reflects the diverse array of hairstyles that ground sloths likely had throughout their range that we state in our paper, and I cannot wait to see more.

A lot of things happened between the work for my thesis and the peer-reviewed version, as most things in science do. Our initial results presented at conferences suggested regional variation in integument (as per this illustration by
