Golden retriever runs 15 feet after owner mimes throwing tennis ball

Totally no ghosts. Completely ghost-free series. Zero traces of the supernatural which will later cause one character to punch another right in the snoot for keeping things from her.

I’d say you Bipeds would have to be pretty careful.

My obligatory post as I finish another @kbspangler.com Rachel Peng book (Inside Threat, go read it!) and note that 5 books in and there are still no ghosts in these stories. Nope. Not a one.

SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings? CPAC CROWD: *cheers* SCHLAPP: No. That was the wrong answer.

Sure Lisa Lure me in with dead sexy lynx sounds THEN HIT ME WITH THE OWLS

For the not-woodsy-experienced, a pack of coyotes can sound a bit disturbing. I grew up with this sound so I actually find it peaceful. youtu.be/Mpt0gJYKr1s?...

As the weather warms and we take to the outside more, I think it's time for my annual thread of Creepy Woodsy Sounds That Aren't Ghosts/Demons/Bigfoot! The Canada Lynx in the quoted post might make me jump for a sec!

You know which athletes immediately get caught in this gender testing bullshit? Black women. Racist stereotypes denying Black women their womanhood go way back. Scratch transphobia in sports the tiniest bit and you uncover racism immediately.

Lions attack with bite forces to the neck, crushing bone into open spine fractures, mangled soft tissue, & ruptured jugular and carotid arteries for rapid blood loss. Lion claws are even "more blade-shaped than the canines & inflict deeply penetrating" lacerations. (Kirtland et al. 2024). #2026MMM

The extinction of Steller’s sea cow may be more complex than we thought. Ancient DNA reveals Steller’s Sea Cows were already in long-term decline before humans reached the Bering Sea, suggesting fur traders didn’t *start* the extinction, they just finished it. #RIP #2026MMM doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Not sure we need a new Lord of the Rings movie so much as an edit of The Hobbit down to one 2-hour movie that then is only shown at a single drive-in theater at midnight.

Orange cat mystery solved! Orange cats lack ~5,100 bases of DNA that normally regulate the gene ARHGAP36. The gene is still there, but switched on when it should be off. www.cell.com/current-biol... #2026MMM #RIP

In Lions, about half of male pairs are brothers, but half have formed their team because solo males team up with other nomadic males to form a coalition. Because just like in MMM, TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAMWORK! (Packer 2026) #2026MMM

Hey check it out! It's a stone projectile point tip embedded in an aurochs humerus!! I haven't seen that with any of our Halaf aurochs or domestic cattle bones (although I'm not the main person doing the analysis; that's my diss advisor, although I excavated them). They do have cutmarks. #2026MMM

Combatant Aurochs maybe from 12th century Poland, but 12,000 years ago Aurochs & Camel both used these seasonal water holes at the Pleistocene-Holocene transition- humans carved “monumental rock engravings of camels, ibex, wild equids, gazelles, AND AUROCHS" (Guagnin et al. 2025). #2026MMM

#RIP Grey fox. Sarcoptic mange devastates wolves, coyotes & red foxes. In wolves, immunity & skin barrier genes explain who survives. Grey foxes are remarkably mange-resistant. With the new grey fox reference genome, we have the tools to discover why! #2026MMM pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
