A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Gooood morning from Kyoto Station, where we're at starting the long trek home.
There are roughly 120 Shinkansen trains between Osaka and Tokyo (via Kyoto) and I believe today's ride is the second of the day, leaving even before the station shops are open.

I wasn't thrilled when BIll agreed to this debate, but it did provide us with this absolute banger of an exchange showing the difference between science and firewalled faith in nonsense.
A few years ago, Bill Nye the science guy debated creationist Ken Ham about evolution. The last question was "what would change your mind?"
Bill Nye said "Evidence."
Ken Ham said "Nothing can possibly change my mind about this."
I think about that a lot.

I recently learned that in Ohio colleges, teacher evaluations are mandatory, they must always include questions about whether or not the professor expresses their political views, and the state government has complete access to them.
And don’t ask me what I heard about how trans people are treated.

I think one of the reasons the Nazi takeover of Germany is a helpful parallel for what’s happening in academia specifically is that unlike the Jim Crow US where integration hadn’t happened (not even during reconstruction), Jews were integrated into the German academy and had to be forced out
