Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This delicate sponge has a remarkably clever survival strategy.🪝✨️ Most sponges filter small plankton and bacteria from the water and pump them through their bodies. But the harp sponge (Chondrocladia lyra) uses small hooks along its vertical branches to trap and eat larger prey.

Dragon in the deep. 🐉 Dragonfish (family Stomiidae) are cunning predators. Although they are strong swimmers, they prefer to lie in wait and ambush unsuspecting fishes and crustaceans. This black dragonfish (Idiacanthus sp.) was spotted at 527 meters (1,729 feet) in Monterey Bay.

John Tenniel's famous illustration of the Jabberwocky for "Through the Looking Glass". Lewis Carroll knew this one was a hit, and considered using it as the cover; however he also worried it'd be too scary for kids and should be removed entirely. In the end he took the middle ground and kept it in

Bluesky has actually been remarkably successful as an app within a relatively short time frame. Expecting it to have the same metrics as some of the biggest apps in the world is stupid. What really matters is having content that people care about, especially if it travels outside the platform itself

Es gab gefiederte Dinosaurier mit nicht zwei, sondern vier Flügeln. Bei Microraptor gui waren auch die Beine zu funktionsfähigen Flügeln ausgebildet. Er konnte aber trotzdem nicht so gut fliegen wie heutige Vögel, er war wohl eher ein Gleiter.

Reading about the accelerating decline in wild bird species in the UK made us think of this fellow. Multi-Lustre Dodo Tile by William De Morgan (1898) The dodo is an extinct flightless bird from Mauritius and was popularised by Lewis Carol who featured it in 'Alice in Wonderland'.
