I have to learn to be patient in this game

Wife @missythefae.bsky.social reminded me to mention that we use a conference call to talk while we're playing. There's a chat function, and possibly voice chat, but we just use a phone. Like it's 1995 or something.

And people wonder why Bram Stoker wrote “Dracula”, a book about a pallid skinned people who burn in direct sunlight, who are repulsed by garlic and obsessed with crucifixes.

Over the next 4 weeks, we will be in Puget Sound with @whaleresearch.bsky.social for our second season of pairing drone observations of killer whale behavior with localized hydrophone recordings.

Here's a look at what a day in the field is like on this project, filmed last year!

Powerful anti-vaccine advocates and people selling potentially harmful goods such as raw milk are benefitting – financially and otherwise – from the push to write anti-science policies into law across the U.S.

Who benefits from the MAHA anti-science push?

My grandmother was working at a café in the 1950s when a white man tried to steal a donut. She chased him down with a broom to beat his ass. The man who broke up the fight would become her husband, and much later, my grandfather.

The technical hurdle is everyone needs internet and a browser. For my eyes, the screen better be a decent size (laptop or tablet) but ymmv. You can make a free account and try free games, but the games you've heard of are more likely premium.

As a Red Sox fan, I usually root against the non-Sox AL east team in the post-season. Maybe that's because it's often the evil Yanks? Not this year!

This is the very first appearance of Dr. Teeth, on March 18, 1975, promoting the upcoming MUPPET SHOW: SEX & VIOLENCE special. It’s remarkable to see how comfortable Jim Henson was both performing & improvising this brand new character, & just how fully-formed he already was...

Feels like a lot of different names for one bug from a relatively small island. Impressive.

A tiny human (2?) is sitting on Dad's shoulders while eating an ice cream.
But what is this?!
A BIG drip onto Dad's bald head?
Oh no!
Oh well, he'll just lick it off.

The metaphor of starting with the "just the facade" and methodically crunching away at the entire building until there's nothing left shouldn't be lost on anyone.

The universe (or at least my bsky timeline) is working hard to make me notice Sally Coulthard today. This isn't the first time she's come across today.

Christine @klaxoncomms.com · 2d

Books 211 and 213: Look, I am a sucker for A History of A Thing. This week, I read Rope: How a Bundle of Twisted Fibers Became the Backbone of Civilization by Tim Queeney AND The Apple: A Delicious History by Sally Coulthard. 💙📚 🗃️

Cover of Rope. Features...some coiled rope and a bit of a faded map.

Cover of The Apple. Has some nice apple drawings.
