Ants release oleic acid when they die. If a living ant gets oleic acid on it, other ants will conclude it is dead and take it to the ant graveyard, even if it is still moving, and will do this repeatedly until the ant can get the oleic acid cleaned off of itself.

Which I think means that a picture of a T Rex in Times Square would be less anachronistic than a picture of T Rex with a Stegosaurus.

Thats why it’s called “Bagger Vance,” right? Because it kind of sounds like “Bhagavad”? Thats what I assumed.

Why do these questions only ever get asked to Democrats? No one told Christopher Rufo, shut up with this CRT stuff, you’re turning off normal voters who don’t have any connection to this. They grabbed it and ran with it.

I couldn’t narrow it to just one, and it was hard to narrow it to four. A good year for music (or do I only feel that way because I was 16 at the time?)
