Ms Evania appendigaster (blue-eyed ensign wasp) is always welcome in my home, and this one got a sugar snack in appreciation for the hard work I'm sure she's doing around here (roach biocontrol). 💙

For everyone who was like “Google search is getting worse,” we were absolutely right.

A mysterious streak of life, sliding subtly under the sand dunes. Not entirely sure what they are, although I suspect they are Nemerteans (ribbon worms). There were several, but shied away from the light, disappearing into holes

Have you stopped to appreciate a cockroach lately? Cockroaches get a lot of unjustified hate for simply existing. Species like this yellow glass cockroach (Chorisoneura sp.) from Ecuador can be charming if you take the time to view them in a positive light. I think it's beautiful!

A very good report from David Fisher, not only explaining what the Benjamin Doyle story has been about, but seeking context – and identifying, to the extent possible given that there's an anonymous Twitter account at the centre of this, who has been pushing it. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Brian Eno on the police raiding a Quaker Meeting House.

Remember the plesiosaur skull I was restoring and building for the past year? I did a blog post all about it for #FossilFriday 🧪https://rmdrc.blogspot.com/2025/03/restoring-skull-of-texas-nessie.html

‘92 per cent of housing has been destroyed, 81 per cent of the road network and 88 per cent of commerce and industry. Last year, the UN found Israel to be using starvation as a weapon of war.’ Selma Dabbagh on the renewal of Israel’s strikes on Gaza: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/ma...

One second of every Fleischer Studios Popeye cartoon without context.

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones. Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

National Party out here saying 'I don't think you understand how widespread it is for employers to not pay their staff for the work they do'

Never before have I seen so graphically what @bernardchickey.bsky.social means when he says Aotearoa is a housing market with a country attached to it.

"For god's sake, how hard is it to make a lunch?", says government failing to make lunches.

This is a real frame from the video donald trump posted.

#Trilobites had the ability to recover from non-fatal predation attacks, and regenerate damaged shell with later moults. For #TrilobiteTuesday, this #Cambrian Gabriellus kierorum from BC, Canada had a large chunk bitten off - but appears to be recovering nicely! Image: AMNH
