Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

Robert Trivers, who wrote this email, is of course one of the leading theorists in the evolution of parental care and altruism in animals.
O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

I went to the "locally made crafts" consignment store downtown. Among the endless 3D printed bootleg stuff were *several* furry makers, including knockoff Duke Bad Dragon figurines. I wonder if the shop owner knows what they are.

I've got a middle authorship on a manuscript sent off for review. The topic is totally outside my usual wheelhouse - it's about bread quality - but I was tapped by people in the neighboring unit to run some stats analysis and do dataviz.

I spent 12 hours yesterday helping fix a gas chromatograph and working on manuscript figures. I wonder why I feel so tired.

I remember when Adobe asked me if I wanted it to summarize a "long document" (my dissertation)
wow yeah Adobe, thanks for offering to use AI to summarize the "long document" I have personally assembled. It's 12 pages long and it's mostly photos of our friend Bob. I can tell from looking.

What were the first animals? The fierce sponge–jelly battle that just won’t end
