A curious soul looking for his place in life. Wait, I found it! In dire need of a sense of humor. Still trying to make sense of Gödel, Escher, Bach. Often misunderstood. Should have been a computer programmer. Cole Porter was a genius. Last sentence.

Mexico got the coolest species of turkey: Meleagris ocellata.
I love this photo of a male ocellated turkey (Meleagris ocellata) by Charles J. Sharp because it looks like it's mid-ballet. The 'danseur noble' takes the stage.

'Ocellated' is from Latin 'ocellus' meaning "little eye", referring to the eye-like spots on the tail feathers...

More than a dozen children were taken out of a Chicago apartment building during a federal immigration raid.

One man said he worried about his 6-year-old nephew, who clung to his legs when agents knocked down the door.

A biologist at the American Museum of Natural History, Jonathan Coddington, cataloged a new genus of South American spiders in 1986.

Two things about the spider were unique:
they lived in caves & laid cubic eggs.

So he called them genus 'Plato', and that's the nerdiest thing I have read all year.
Diminutive fairy wombat poop. Tiny cubes under 2mm on each side.

These are egg sacs made by a spider in the family Theridiosomatidae.

They made yesterday’s hike special. Finding something I’ve never seen before is such a thrill.

Many immigrants who registered to self-deport say DHS never followed through.

One mother didn’t enroll her son in school because she thought they would be long gone.

“I don’t want to be here anymore,” she sobbed. “What am I supposed to do?”
“I Don’t Want to Be Here Anymore”: They Tried to Self-Deport, Then Got Stranded in Trump’s America

A good case for why you should never rely on inflation adjustment back more than a few decades, consumption patterns are just too different for them to be anything but insanely misleading.

There should be a ‘Purge’ like instance in our society, but instead of no laws everyone just gets drunk and pours their heart out and says what’s on their mind with no inhibitions, and people can *drunkenly* talk through things and release the emotional beast that’s inside them :)

"When we find a logic error in our code by exploratory testing, we don’t just fix the bug. We write a regression test in case a future change breaks it again.

When we find a code quality bug, we should add a check that catches it as soon as it reappears.."

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right
