Nice line from Arteta on the sense of disappointment at not winning today "The spirit, the hunger and how much we want it is so incredible. We will overcome everything."

If Arsenal concede fewer than three goals against Chelsea, they will equal the record of 107 straight games in all competitions without conceding three goals in a match set by an English club (Man Utd October 2016 to August 2018).

My 8yo was very confused how I could be so invested in the #WPBL draft without having a fave team. "Wait, there's not Cubs and not Braves, so who are we rooting for? And how do you know if you like who gets picked for which team?" "It's a brand new women's league, kid; we're excited about everyone."

another notable thing in this article: "The league plans to do another raise as they get closer to its August 2026 launch."
the league's FAQs still states that the season was to begin in May 2026. #WPBL

Today's #Nudivember post is another of Anilao's denizens... this is a Phyllidia of some sort. Maybe P. elegans, but P. varicosa is also possible

Gary Larson created the term Thagomizer in 1982.
In 1993, paleontologist Ken Carpenter was the first to use the term in a scientific context.
It is now widely accepted and used to describe the spikes on a stegosaur's tail.

#PBS should be fully funded, as a public service for the good of the people, but I'm glad there are those aiming to fill the gaps.
I still get joy out of watching these episodes.
