Day 41 of posting cute creatures we found on our field trip:

Monacha cartusiana is a small snail typically found in Mediterranean. It has very variable colors and patterns of the shell. The way to recognize it is by looking near the shell opening, where it has a reddish brown outline and usually a lighter outline above it. The rest of the shell usually looks like an abstract painting:

Some M. cartusiana snails have a very pale shell, with almost no blotches:

One of those pooped on me, but it was a cutie so who cares:

These snails are invasive in the US, so being able to identify them is a useful skill.

Oddity Poll

Not that there's ever a WRONG answer, of course.

Just kidding. It's rats. Rats are the best.

Imagine being so fragile and insecure but rich, very rich. Then you have the power to dismantle the medium that thousands of people used to make fun of you, and could express freely about how fragile and insecure you are.

This dude.

His great achievement in life, will forever be remembered as the asshole who was able to buy a significant part on the Internet culture history and smash it to the ground because it hurt his feelings. A true testament of how this fragile society from left to right thinks and works in the world today.

I slept in and just woke up, so here's what I've been able to figure out while sipping coffee:

Twitter has officially rebranded to X just a day or two after the move was announced.

The official branding is that a tweet is now called "an X", for which there are too many jokes to make.

The official account is still @twitter because someone else owns @X and they didn't reclaim the username first.

The logo is 𝕏 which is the Unicode character Unicode U+1D54F so the logo cannot be copyrighted and it is highly likely that it cannot be protected as a trademark.

Outside the visual logo, the trademark for the use of the name "X" in social media is held by Meta/Facebook, while the trademark for "X" in finance/commerce is owned by Microsoft.

The rebranding has been stopped in Japan as the term "X Japan" is trademarked by the band X JAPAN.

Elon had workers taking down the "Twitter" name from the side of the building. He did not have any permits to do this. The building owner called the cops who stopped the crew midway through so the sign just says "er".

He still plans to call his streaming and media hosting branch of the company as "Xvideo". Nobody tell him.

This man wants you to give him control over all of your financial information.

This is bush snail (Fruticicola fruticum) definitely one of the cutest snails in existence. It can be found only in Europe and it prefers warm mountains with as little pollution as possible. The shell color varies from this brown, to pinkish orange, to green, to yellow, but it’s almost always decorated with these dark blotches in adults. The snail itself is usually yellow or whitish.

This adorable little cutie pie is actually biting me on the second picture. And she thinks that I’m rather tasty because her eyes are droopy and she’s face down munching on my skin. Snails are actually omnivorous and they rarely miss the opportunity to eat some tasty meat (in this case me). The feeling is extremely hard to describe, you literally have to get munched on by a snail to understand it. It’s actually kinda sweet, because when they eat they take their cutest pose and you know that you didn’t disturb them at all, since snails don’t bite in response to danger, they only bite to eat. So by eating me, it tells me that it feels super safe in my hand which makes my heart melt.

(Another possibility is that she thinks that I’m another snail and she’s ready to mate. Snails are very very kinky and they loooove biting each other while they mate. And they also stab each other with love darts, but that’s a whole different can of worms).
