still really impressed about the discovery that the japanese water beetle can survive getting eaten by frogs because it combines its natural tendencies with just straight up walking through the entire digestive system at a brisk jog.
like they just fucking say no thank you and leave. this feels like one of the most insanely powerful adaptations i can imagine a creature having. like nah i can't do anything to stop the voracious predator of my biome from consuming me. Doesn't Mean I Give Up

@JosephTLapp my guess is what's in their blood is sufficient to fuel em for the walk.

🇸🇪🇺🇦 Zelensky: I thank King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden for the meeting.
We spoke about Sweden’s participation in Ukraine’s reconstruction. We also discussed support for the school nutrition reform being implemented in Ukraine under the patronage of First Lady Olena Zelenska. We count on Sweden’s contribution to its further implementation.
I am grateful to His Majesty and to the entire people of Sweden for the humanitarian support of Ukraine and the readiness to continue it.

Every 13th April we celebrate Lucinda Alberforce day, commemorating the witch whose death in the explosion that wrecked the Conjuring and Sorcery Module of Apollo 13 almost doomed the (official) crew of the third lunar landing mission. Forced to fall back on the—largely fake—technological flight systems, the male crew barely made it back to Earth alive. The demands for official recognition by the Space Witch Corps led to the cancellation of the rest of the Apollo program, beyond the already constructed flights 14–17. There still to this day has not been official recognition of the role that Astromaleficery played in the so-called “manned” space program.

I can't believe this "Moon landing" rumor still persists.
Protective wards in 1969 were simply not up to the task of deflecting high-energy solar radiation. The crew would be dead in hours.
The "landings" were faked. The astronauts were simply teleported directly to and from the Moon's surface from a secret government facility in Nevada.
Wake up, sheeple!

Generally speaking, I would do almost anything rather than watch clips of #Thatcher, the milk snatcher of my childhood.
But there is something I have in common with her…she was a mum of #twins. And I saw a clip tonight of her talking to Michael Aspel about how she didn’t know she was expecting them until they arrived 6 weeks early. She was relieved they were healthy…but stated they both had ‘very strong personalities’.
There was much laughter at this from my ‘twin mum’ community.
A rather long segment of the #Thatcher and Aspel interview where she talks about her surprise and joy at having #twins:
m.youtube.com/watch?v=-5rrMjiu…
And yes, maybe my amusement is that I have neurodivergent twins who are very expressive…this is not uncommon in families with twins.
But through a modern lens would we consider Thatcher to be neuridivergent? If so, did it help her politically?

So apparently this is a recent hot topic of conversation…I had no idea, because I don’t normally read the rightwing press:
uk.news.yahoo.com/unusual-defi…?
The Telegraph are really not keen it seems on diagnosing historical figures…but does that just extend to their heroes like Thatcher?
#Thatcher really didn’t understand jokes or small talk. If I was a flag person (which I’m not) I would say that was a red one.

Ha, that's what the original Napster was good at, sharing rare music files. I still have a bunch of MP3s from 1999 that I listen to because they are unavailable any other way.
oh I know! The only music I made real effort to download were rare bootleg tracks. Anything else was too much trouble. If I liked something, I just went out and bought it on my way back home from work the next day.
My entire collection of Tom Waits bootleg concert recordings came via Napster. 1998 and 1999 was such a fun time to be alive.
