It's that time of the year when the rotting Halloween pumpkins start delivering tremendous bug content.
I got these shots of Pheidole dentata ants successfully hunting fruit fly adults and larvae in the muck.

If you know the tropical ant genus Holcoponera, you know they are not all that fuzzy. But this Colombian species, Holcoponera pilosa, is positively frizzy compared to its congeners.

The genus name for American harvester ants, Pogonomyrmex, means "bearded ant", and it refers to a basket of hairs on the underside of the head that helps these desert ants carry dry sand.

also, if you care about disability justice, hope you’re also pro-fat liberation.
do you know how many people have gone to the doctor for troubling symptoms, been automatically dismissed and told to lose weight, and then developed late-stage/severe chronic and acute illnesses?

It also fucking sucks that so many people on the Left(s) refuse to understand anti-fatness as a system of oppression, and fat liberation as a legitimate anti-oppression movement.
It sucks, because it's all connected, and if you don't see this part, you don't have a clear understanding of the whole.

They are so funny. Our neighbors are being stuffed into unmarked vans, and they’re all like let’s vote against a term we probably can’t define instead.
The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
86 Dems joined Republicans in supporting the measure, incl. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

There have been no real technological developments since the invention of lenses that allow us to photograph bugs and an international network of machines that allow everyone to see those photographs of bugs. Discuss.

FNAF/Scott Cawthon should not be supported in any way.
Don't buy/stream his games, give money to the franchise, watch the movies, etc.
He uses his gains FROM FNAF to support harmful legislature and candidates on the right.
Which is bad, yes? Stop supporting him. He deserves nothing.

Oh yeah btw the reason why Vine is being relaunched with great fanfare and no Al is because it's jointly operated with an Al company and they probably don;t want to pollute their scrap pile with stuff they've already shat out.
