Gav’s Tavern Hi, I hope you like this. It is different from what I usually do. Also it was a lot of work.

Mosquitoes actually are not replaceable in any ecosystem that naturally has them and that includes replacing them with any of the non biting species because these are the traits that make them so core to food webs:

Tiny

Can use every single pool of moisture to raise generations no matter how dirty and stagnant and low in oxygen

Can fly

Males get by on just sugars

Females take protein from larger animals to manufacture thousands more eggs

All these things combined allow thst ecosystem to make huge volumes of insects from conditions barren to most other macroscopic life. You might think there are other insects that seem to make huge massive swarms out of nothing but there's really nothing that hits all the same qualities *except other insects that also suck blood.*

It's the precise combo of being able to "prey" on things millions of times larger and breed in nothing but a few drops of filthy rainwater or the moisture in a rotten log. That's the most efficient combination for anything that size to multiply that rapidly where nothing else can even survive, except of course the things that can move in because they eat them :)

Do you think Clark Kent's first few major articles were about the continued presence of lead pipes in parts of Metropolis' water system

its so brave that you have such a 2012-coded url in this 2024 world

would you call a bear brave for standing in a new construction suburb or would you recognize the unfamiliar world they built around him

I thinks folks expressing incredulity at the quality of the writing and composition in Calvin and Hobbes are often missing the context that Bill Watterson is arguably the most influential sequential artist of his generation. Like, this is a guy who once told the editors of nationally syndicated newspapers to go fuck themselves when they wanted to mess with his panel layouts, and not only did he keep his job, he got his way. He could have had literally any gig he wanted, and he chose to be the Sunday funnies guy because that's what made him happy. He's basically the Weird Al of sequential art.

really recommend getting a partner with a different religion than you and very little knowledge of your religion because the opportunities for explaining things to each other are just exquisite

god i hope the cpsc takes the shot. i think this would dramatically change their entire business model. amazon makes so much money by selling defective or mislabeled or just plain dangerous products and then faces little liability because this stuff is actually being sold by random third-party sellers that don't get vetted at all and can be hard to prosecute because they're in china or wherever. this is a big part of what makes amazon so powerful and it would be good for everyone if they were forced to bear more responsibility for the damages caused by the crap available on their website

you know with the recent popularity of lost film goncharov (1973) i hope more people come to appreciate ambrosio (1968), minsky (1970), and two of everything (1999). i know a lot of marissa marcel fans have been talking about them for years, but they’ve always been super hard to find and i’d only ever really seen little clips before 2022 when a video game studio got ahold of them and released them on steam in one game.  (also, if you have netflix, you can get in on mobile through the app store!)

i will say it’s a little hard to scrub through the clips out of order, but i like the tradeoff of getting to see the entire filming process and marissa is SUCH a good actress. i really hope we find out where she vanished to someday!

Rhaenicent has all the sexually charged friendship, angst, betrayal, and tragedy of Throbb and Greysnow but Alicent and Rhaenyra are both Theon. I hope that helps.
