NGL I think my job today is going to be memeing RFK Jr. and his bear story. It’s so unhinged, like the hinges fell off when we found out that his brain worm came from eating roadkill but now they’re saying that the crime scene he staged with the bear cub he was planning to eat had stab wounds?

– It's been ten years... will you just let us... die already – Seriously... please let us go feast with Thalia in her halls... – Come on now, friends! New adventures await :)

In other words, if made to choose between being buried under the sands of time, or being adopted by an overly invested fan to use as dolls in her frankly sadistic mental sandbox, which one do you think characters from a long-since closed local production of a Wildhorn musical would prefer?

A remarkable new deep-sea nereidid (Annelida: Nereididae) with gills

Abstract

Nereidid polychaetes are well known from shallow marine habitats, but their diversity in the deep sea is poorly known. Here we describe an unusual new nereidid species found at methane seeps off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Specimens of Pectinereis strickrotti gen. nov., sp. nov. had been observed dating back to 2009 swimming just above the seafloor at ~1,000 m depth but were not successfully captured until 2018. Male epitokes were collected as well as a fragment of an infaunal female found in a pushcore sample. The specimens were all confirmed as the same species based on mitochondrial COI. Phylogenetic analyses, including one based on available whole mitochondrial genomes for nereidids, revealed no close relative, allowing for the placement of the new species in its own genus within the subfamily Nereidinae. This was supported by the unusual non-reproductive and epitokous morphology, including parapodial cirrostyles as pectinate gills, hooked aciculae, elfin-shoe-shaped ventral cirrophores, and elongate, fusiform dorsal ligules emerging sub-medially to enlarged cirrophores. Additionally, the gill-bearing subfamily Dendronereidinae, generally regarded as a junior synonym of Gymnonereidinae, is reviewed and it is here reinstated and as a monogeneric taxon.

Watched the Gladiator 2 trailer and it just doesn't feel right. I haven't enjoyed a Riddley Scott film since American Gangster so I'm not expecting anything but the production felt more prestige TV then prestige film. Maybe it needs more time in post for a final polish.

But I'm also going to go in unable to enjoy it because they're using one of the best sub stories of Roman history, the feud between Caracalla and Geta. We're talking brothers who became going emperor but hated each other so much they literally built a wall down the center of the palace. The praetorian guard was divided in two with each one having their own guards (the guard was past its height of power anyway). And it ends with Caracalla killing Geta in front of their mother, at a meeting arranged by their mother to plead with them not to kill each other. Then Caracalla gets the title "common enemy of mankind" because of how horrible he was. BUT, this is not good brother evil brother. Geta was also terrible.

Based on how little he cares about history I know Scott is going to mess it up.
