Dinosaurs really had the jump on mammals in terms of time to evolve flying ability, but I’ve got faith more mammals can go that way.
Of all of the alien fauna I saw in Australia, seeing fruit bats fly over at dusk was the most memorable. (Finding engorged leeches between my toes was the second, and the emotion was quite different.)
“A reference community for data and sources,” if you can make sense of that. I’m not sure I can.
[Funko Fusion] game feels like an off-brand LEGO game in all the worst ways
I have a bias here because I’ve never understood the appeal of model collecting in general, and of dead-eyed, amorphous Funko Pops in particular, but I am shocked that a cash grab on the back of emotionless, artistically-bereft figurines wasn’t a smash hit.
Well, not that shocked.
Unfortunately, it’s difficult to reuse or recycle pasta boxes when their composition includes 50% or higher of fictional materials.
You’re such pests. In your depths of your ignorance, what is it you want? Well, whatever it is you want, I can’t deliver because I just don’t see it.
Just move to Portmeiron and you’ll get your own canopied penny-farthing.

be bold, start cold
…and if you’re able, warm up before you step outside. Jog on the spot, do some stretches or light bodyweight exercise, bring your extremity temperature up a bit.
I find this useful, personally, but I would like to see an additional “block and hide.”
The anti-Israel crowd
“Harris is the better choice in this fucking awful dilemma the US electoral system gives us” is not pro-Israel. It was a pragmatic option to reduce the damage a little, to lead the US down a better road domestically, and to leave the door open to later activism to stop the genocide where there was no viable third voting option.
Please don’t conflate a Harris vote with a pro-Israel stance.
No one with any intellectual honesty thinks that Harris is a communist.
Voting for a fascist makes a person categorically a fascist. And by accepted measures of fascism, such as Umberto Eco’s Ur-Fascism, you’d have to do some major rhetorical gymnastics to conclude anything else.
Not sure about density, but birds that aren’t adapted to water don’t produce the oil and don’t have the interlocking feathers to trap air and make them float very well. And you’ll find plenty of rescue videos of birds struggling to get out of water they’ve accidentally ended up in, e.g. owls, pigeons.
The print is smudgy and the oval graphic on the print is a raster that’s already been stretched, I think. Add the image focus being a little off and the compression by the file host, and it’s a conjunction of mess.
You’ll see the same in other positions – Madam Speaker, Madam Secretary, Madam Ambassador.

Succinct and accurate. Really wish people were more objective and less polarized on software.
We’re excited to announce the new Sony WH1000XM6 headphones, enhanced by the power of spanners!
I don’t see why my headphones need a sp-
Conveniently built in to your headset, you can use the spanner to adjust bolt tightness on-the-go!
Okay, but that’s not wh-
We’re proud to be leading the market in spanner-augmented products to bring a new level of convenience to your life.

Spanner may sometimes only appear to tighten bolts. Please don’t ask us the energy cost of manufacturing the spanner.
25th or 26th October seems likely to me based on the first announcement (Twitter link).
