Luckily the "what if the SHARK impregnated our ray???" seems to be dying down and bigger news organizations have the corrected information in their articles, but I wanted to share this great blog post by marine conservation biologist David Shiffman that covers both the cool actual science that got overshadowed while actually calling out the facility for how unscientifically they handled it and for the fact that they doubled down (esp since newer media they've put out is softly backtracking and it looks like they're attempting to play it off as a joke that the news misreported. Nope. They put the idea out there like it was as possible as parthenogenesis while calling themselves scientists at a "shark lab")

From the conclusion:

Unfortunately, poor handling of this story has made it likely that we are on track for another year where the most-shared news story about a shark or ray is pseudoscientific nonsense, rather than about their dire conservation needs, their importance to marine and coastal ecosystems, or amazing new discoveries about them. As a longtime supporter of zoos and aquariums and the roles they play in public science education, I am especially troubled by some of the public-facing communications here. If your goal is sharing knowledge with the public, there’s value in gaining accurate knowledge about the subject yourself first. Sharing wrong facts is not “raising awareness” or educating the public, and falsely claiming “anything is possible, don’t trust the experts” is, to put it mildly, not helping the ocean.

It's a great article to drop in if the "omg shark/ray babies???" keeps spreading. Or if you just enjoy niche science drama. The aquarium world doesn't get much of that

I think it’s funny how the Scarecrow and Tin Woodsman were initially present from the beginning of the Project Moon-verse in Lobotomy Corporation but the rest of the gang wouldn’t show up until the spinoffs and sequels.

Considering their canon relationship, it just ends up driving home that Tincrow is a package deal no matter where they are.

Omfg UK and US 18-25s I'm begging you to vote in the general/presidential election 😭😭😭 young people already don't vote and then to actively abstain (I get it, all your options suck) but then politicians will have zero reason to appeal to you ever! You're entirely excluding yourselves from the conversation! Vote strategically to vote OUT the worst dude but just vote fr

I know they're all doing genocide and it's fucked but like you literally are not preventing genocide by not voting you're just sitting on your hands

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONI EARTH HAD SMOG SO BAD THEY COULDNT EVEN USE SOLAR ENERGY??? JUST FOUND THAT LOG AND. HEY???

YEAH I KNOW RIGHT most of the oni logs are so stuck within gravitas that it's easy to skip over the random little bits of fucked up world building, with the smog being my favorite piece cause it implies a whole fuckton of other environmental issues and it's suddenly like damn these guys were rly just living their lives while half suffocating huh

I sometimes like to listen to video game playthroughs while I work and let me tell you, whatever expectations I had for the sequel to rpg-maker horror game Purgatory, it was NOT what I actually received (i.e. Epic In Which A Teen Demonic Harem And Their Boyfriend Decide To Start A Revolution)

Consider: The Incredibles AU where instead of the disappointing sequel, the Parr family's move after the first movie takes them to the neighbourhood of the Addams family shortly after Addams Family Values.

The families quickly become friends. Wednesday is thirteen at this point, only a year younger than Violet, based on her actor's age and the movies' timeline; Pugsley is about eleven, a year older than Dash; and Pubert is one like Jack-Jack. The Parrs discover the Addamses' supernatural abilities and (arguably correctly?) assume that they're also supers. As the Addamses are happy to go along with it and now feel solidarity with the oppressed supers, getting the anti-super laws overturned proves to be both much easier and much more fun thanks to their vast wealth, charisma and... altogether ookiness. Gomez and Morticia help the Parrs in adjusting to and accomodating Jack-Jack's developing powers. The newly traumatized Parr kids bond with kids and receive guidance from adults who take all the pain and life-threatening situations they've been through in stride and admire their strength of character. Everything works!

Hi can i bring my noibat into the gas station? he's well behaved!

Gas station...? If you meant Gear Station, you can have a maximum of one reasonably-sized Pokemon out of its Poke Ball within the premises (unless you are signing up for the Doubles line, in which case you can have two). Your Noibat should be alright since they're not a big species.
