菊池誠はすっかり陰謀論の人になってしまった。ニセ科学批判の人たちは「元ビリーバー」であることが多く、実は陰謀論の類に弱いのではと思っていたけど、まさにその典型例と言えそうだ。

I have run out of readers' wildlife photos, so I tender one photo of a happy duckling in Botany Pond last year, zooming around in preparation for learning to fly:

Photos from Grand Teton National Park by Ephraim Heller, including a bunch of fish trapped in a pool created by a hot spring under the ice (they're using their dorsal fins to breath). Buffet time for the birds!

無数の女性たちの苦労や業績。
爺に媚びてただけで出世した無能オバサンが出しゃばって、ぜんぶ自分ひとりの功績にする。

あちこちの女性管理職で見られる問題だが「高市早苗現象」「サナエ化」と呼んではどうだろう？

テレビの「街の声」
よくわからないけど高市早苗を支持するという女性の頭悪そうな描かれ方、究極の女性差別だよな。

アレは、世の女性がた、怒ったほうが良い。

高市早苗は女性の代表に非ず。

「日本初の女性総理」
統一教会と心中して、短命政権で終わりそうだが。

高市早苗氏を記念し、職場でよく見るアレを「サナエ現象」と呼べば、長く記憶に残るのではないか。

Three--count them, three--cat-related news items for Caturday, including Thailand making its five breeds the National Cats.

Caturday felid trifecta: Thailand declares cats as its national symbol; art exhibit features medieval cats; and viral Belgian cat staffed by the Prime Minister is the continent’s equivalent of Larry; ...

The meme below, from Cats Doing Cat Stuff: implies that Thaland has declared all cats as official national symbols. Well, as the articles below say, that’s not exactly true. Some cats have be…

If you haven’t seen this classic bit of Feynman, watch it - only 8 minutes - and it will reassure you that it’s ok that you don’t understand magnets (unless you are a physicist obvs).

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.

A forlorn landscape of layered rocks in the foreground, with hills fading into the background haze. At upper top right, a small crescent moon, and a bright star.

A good Caturday post this week, including items on the building of cat stairs to rescue cats falling into Amsterdam's canals, and an observation (and hypothesis) of why most cats sleep on their left sides.
