Orcas have devised a clever trick to gang up on great white sharks and eat their livers, which has been captured on video for the first time.
Orcas are ganging up on great white sharks to eat their livers
For the first time, video footage has captured orcas in the Gulf of California hunting young great white sharks, using a trick to flip them over, paralise them and get at their energy-rich livers

Who got the structure of DNA? Franklin, Crick, and Watson. It's true and we can't be stopped.
Went to a great talk the other day where the speaker referred to "Watson, Crick, and Franklin" nucleotides & let's all adopt that terminology

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Pre-unusual-book-reading prep (for those who’ve been following events further down the thread): Buying junk food and booze to fortify me through this work. First: crisps/potato chips. I go for plain ones to prevent possible unexpected lactose intolerance issues. (1/n)

I'm going to do a slightly unhinged thing (while my post-brainscan guts still have Klono's own gadolinium in them). I'm going to buy a copy *and read it.*
A California winemaker is struggling to sell his Chardonnay ... so he's written a romantasy novella about it. The novella, unsurprisingly, looks awful.

If you ever wonder if our little corner of fandom matters, just remember that we have a literal Bond villain having a meltdown because he clearly doesn’t understand a single scifi movie he’s ever watched.

Hey #mutualaid #ma #ttrpg folks, my wife and I just lost SNAP and that money was essential to our grocery budget each month, so we could use some help keeping up with food costs. Anything you can spare goes towards keeping us fed through winter

Ststus report, Today's episode of "The Organ Recital": Brain scan completed without incident (except that for a short time I will actually have had [partially] gadolinium guts like Klono's). 😄 ...But now: a glass of something red, and then the bus home.
