being Aged by my music streaming app is weird. "here, i bet you'll like these," it says, listing 10 albums released in college, that i have physical copies of but haven't streamed in a decade. they're all about 20 years old

After looking it up on Reddit (JO vs Old Bay), I found this great comment

An interesting trend that kind of confirms my suspicions: folks in Molecular/Cellular Biology don't really socialize with Evo/Eco folks much, and vice-versa. It certainly felt this way in grad school, too!

I'm over in the southwest, in the big evo/eco cluster. I'm grouped halfway between evolution and entomology. It's a little surprising that the animal behavior cluster is (1) pretty distinct from evolution and (2) I'm not in it. Gotta follow more behaviorists!

I'm now tempted to try K-State's Call Hall cheddar and then compare it with WSU's

okay, they call him Bad Bunny, but where are all the rabbits?

Another #SuperbOwl for you this Sunday, this one from New England was freed from a chimney cavity and needed an eye wash from all the soot. A good reminder to install chimney caps! Want to donate to New England Wildlife Center? newildlife.org/donate/ Source: fb.com/451341887540... #owlsintowels 💛🦉

Superb Owl Sunday already?

Adelaide Botanic Garden is livestreaming their corpse flower. It's a beauty, lovely big tall one. Apparently it smells like cheese, but I'm too far away to travel down to see it. #smellanie #adelaide #botany www.youtube.com/live/Jh8BPg5...

Finished two stained glass projects this afternoon. They're for sale and looking for good homes! "Your Colors Light Up the World" Trans flag butterfly, ~8.5"x10.75", ready to hang or put in a display stand. $450, US shipping included

Babe, you look great. I can barely tell.

The unit where I work has a Cat Wall near the offices It's a bulletin board full of pet photos and cat drawings. I was recently reminded of this: which will be a perfect addition

Berlin wall fell November 9, 1989, ICHC was created January 11, 2007. November 9, 1989 > January 11, 2007 = 6,272 days. January 11, 2007 > Feb 6, 2027 = 6967 days

"In a 2016 email, Trivers thanks Epstein for 'extra money' and appointment as an advisor to Epstein’s foundation. He also signals that he ready to do as Epstein urged him, taking on unnamed theoretical work. Epstein responded: 'i want to see you piece on transgender in the bio world.'" 1/

Sometimes if you cut it down correctly, you can still see the last meal a tree had in its stomach when it died

Ever since the Stochastic Parrots paper was published, I've been fielding the question "How do I know that you're not (just) a stochastic parrot?" ... one that I find inherently dehumanizing, as I write about here: journals-sagepub-com.offcampus.lib.washington.edu/doi/10.1177/... Short 🧵>>

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

"if you want smelly masculine men, you want the hard cock that comes with the show -- you do not want one of nature's more complex and variable structures, the pum-pum" --Robert Trivers pic related

Robert Trivers, who wrote this email, is of course one of the leading theorists in the evolution of parental care and altruism in animals.

Looks like my bsky might have accidentally unfollowed some people. Sorry if you were one of them!

Well?

I went to the "locally made crafts" consignment store downtown. Among the endless 3D printed bootleg stuff were *several* furry makers, including knockoff Duke Bad Dragon figurines. I wonder if the shop owner knows what they are.

I've got a middle authorship on a manuscript sent off for review. The topic is totally outside my usual wheelhouse - it's about bread quality - but I was tapped by people in the neighboring unit to run some stats analysis and do dataviz.

I spent 12 hours yesterday helping fix a gas chromatograph and working on manuscript figures. I wonder why I feel so tired.
