Eat something that's been at armpit temperature for a month, and you too will go to Shelob's Lair.

We had one of my favorite crabs in the invertebrate teaching lab today! This is Dromidia sp. a carrier crab. Their last pair of legs is modified to carry sponges and other animals as a defensive mechanism. This one is carrying a colonial tunicate. #invertebrates 🦑🦀

MLB needs to just say that every manager is a player-manager if you got the stones to try it.
I am not just posting this because Mark Canha got DFA'ed but I feel like sports teams should get to have an Unc Slot on the roster. Like how the Knicks carried PJ Tucker down the stretch to be a soothing but hardcore older presence, or the last eight years of Udonis Haslem's career.

I've been mad at my garden because the vermin keep eating or wrecking everything. But today I saw a big bumblebee in the raspberries, so I guess it's worth it.

This is a helpful and interesting thread, but it really looks like the aesthetic principles of the "tsdf" embedding are Weird British Guy.
these are three samples from "man, tsdf," where tsdf is a learned embedding based entirely on a set of aesthetic principles which, to my knowledge, were not invented by anyone else.
"tsdf" exists in the way that the evil vector does: it is a way of referring to a domain within the embedding space.
