i guess i found this cool because it relieved some of the accusatory dismissal from the lore of ufo sightings, not because it confirmed them, but either way (click through for link, article in nature)

oft puzzled by the way people seem to put the most hostile interpretation on their pets' expressions. animals that look to me like “are you about to pet me? yay!” are seen as “why are you disturbing me!” There are exceptions ofc and sometimes it’s obviously ironic but it’s a pattern.

At first I thought this was just a small fly, but when I got my macro on it I found this alien creature. I think it's in the genus Poppea, a type of treehopper. Found at @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica #nature #insects

trying to figure out why eve of destruction was such a big hit when it’s so bad. i think it might be the mid-line rhyme in the refrain: you don’t believe/ we’re on the eve/ (of destruction.) there’s ambiguity about whether the title phrase belongs to the line, & it doesn’t rhyme w anything
