(James, @segyges.bsky.social has a fair number of receipts on the evo psych side)

Quite excited that I managed to frame this in terms of one of Epstein’s own pet hobby horses

Which criminal is an insect that looks exactly like a dead leaf when it stops moving versus which criminal is a swollen rosy pig tottering around on tiny legs and what does that tell you about their respective environments

Epstein was fascinated by pop biology, so “selective pressure” feels like the right frame here

Erm @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social was this definitely the idiom you were going for

It was the same prosecutor in both, wasn’t it?

Soup was tasty. 👍

Basically a mashup of two Straker recipes to address my excess of squash - the stuffed pasta one (in that I roast the squash) plus the pumpkin soup one (which I then follow, except I also add a load of carrots)

Since it’s leftovers I jazzed it up with chilli crisp and lemon juice

If you can explain the Pauli Exclusion Principle without looking it up then I reckon you get to make fun of Insane Clown Posse

Look how well I kept this in my “microblogging” lane when it could have so easily crossed into the forbidden “dooming about politics” lane

Like I have a masters in a physical science and I know I have a fairly childish cartoon version of ferromagnetism in my head. It’s actually quite complex! You need a pretty solid grounding in quantum physics to be able to say what’s going on, and there isn’t a classical explanation to fall back on
