Hello similarly active social people… figured I should come back to this…

I couldn’t get a photo directly but do love that I could see the eclipse in a lens flare. :)

Also, continuing #arachtober, here’s a wolf spider with a lot of hatchlings… :)

This is my therapy dog, Miro. Half the time he gives me therapy, and the other half of the time he makes me need it. :)

TIL… there’s another class of arachnid I’d never even heard of… off to Wikipedia to learn more :)
It's a Ricinulid, a super obscure chelicerate, non-spider, non-mite arachind. Known for wearing a movable hoddie over the head called a "cucullus". My text book only had drawings of it, no photos.

Okay, happy #Arachtober! The last four I’ve seen are a wolf spider, two types of orb weavers, and a deer tick. Share those eight legged beauties!

Of course not. He’s right for the wrong reasons. Case in point, the winner of 2 of the last 6 presidential elections (by electoral college) lost by number of votes. :-/

I’m impressed by the improvements in AI, but until it’s embedded in a microwave to perfectly pop a bag of popcorn without burning any of it I’m saying it still has some improvement to make.

No matter what else happens today I took this photo so I’m calling it a win overall.

Help me with this, because I’m having a hard time with it… has there ever been a time where historically (50+ years later, for the sake of discussion) the people advocating for banning books were right? I can’t think of any for the life of me. Seems to be a good “bad idea” indicator to me.

It’s been a much more relaxed #DEFCON31… DE:AD:10:C5 and Cryptolingus will return again, and with even more badges, challenges, and blinking :)
