Mid-year 2026 update (this is without tax):

I know this happens and it looks suspicious but

btw, current scientific consensus is that early crocodylomorph archosaurs were endothermic or mesothermic and that crocodiles are secondarily cold-blooded, with their bizarre circulatory and respiratory systems being a legacy of their warm-blooded ancestors.

Deltarune chapter 5 positioning Pink as a "big sister" and seeing how much she dotes on Orange really makes me question how much we actually knew about the dynamic between her and Mettaton or Napstablook. We know they're family and they live together but we never really see them interact, do we?

alright everyone is being sassy but nobody has brought up the actual reason why scientists are interested in the titanic in the notes

Not a marine biologist but biologist enough to weigh in on this. The reason we have iron eating bacteria but not wood eating bacteria at the bottom of the ocean is simple. Hydrothermal vents release a cocktail of different mineral ores into the ocean. And bacteria and other organisms evolved alongside those so they evolved to digest these, like iron or other metal ores

Okay, but I remember reading a magazine stating that the titanic would basically be gone by now because of the rust eating the ship.

So lemme get this straight, the Titanic is a whalefall, the Britannic is a biological mummy, and all the wood ships that sink into the deep ocean are preserved incorrupt because nothing can eat them.

this video has been going around for a while but the English subtitles didn't match the energy of the spoken French at all. i had to fix it.

“I very proudly entered the forestry school as an 18-year-old and telling them that the reason that I wanted to study botany was because I wanted to know why asters and goldenrod looked so beautiful together. These are these amazing displays of this bright, chrome yellow and deep purple of New England aster, and they look stunning together. And the two plants so often intermingle rather than living apart from one another, and I wanted to know why that was. I thought that surely in the order and the harmony of the universe, there would be an explanation for why they looked so beautiful together. And I was told that that was not science, that if I was interested in beauty, I should go to art school. Which was really demoralizing as a freshman, but I came to understand that question wasn’t going to be answered by science, that science, as a way of knowing, explicitly sets aside our emotions, our aesthetic reactions to things. We have to analyze them as if they were just pure material, and not matter and spirit together. And, yes, as it turns out, there’s a very good biophysical explanation for why those plants grow together, so it’s a matter of aesthetics and it’s a matter of ecology. Those complimentary colors of purple and gold together, being opposites on the color wheel, they’re so vivid, they actually attract far more pollinators than if those two grew apart from one another. So each of those plants benefits by combining its beauty with the beauty of the other. And that’s a question that science can address, certainly, as well as artists. And I just think that “Why is the world so beautiful?” is a question that we all ought to be embracing.”

Googled it and you know what, it is beautiful:
