just a PSA to anyone going to watch the eclipse, The American Astronomical Society says under no circumstances should you buy glasses from Amazon https://aas.org/press/american-astronomical-society-warns-counterfeit-fake-eclipse-glasses
American Astronomical Society Warns of Counterfeit & Fake Eclipse Glasses | American Astronomical Society

With the April 8th North American total solar eclipse just over two weeks away, potentially unsafe eclipse glasses are polluting the marketplace. Buyer beware!

I want to make a series of videos with titles like:

"The animals of the eastern temperate forests"
"The animal life of the the savannah"

etc.

and only talk about invertebrates.

As revenge.

🌸MOREISH MONAKA🐹

Kicking off cherry blossom season a little early with one of the most adorable snacks!

The spring version of 'Hamster Monaka' (ハムスターモナカ) are filled with lashings of traditional and sakura-flavoured bean paste.

Noel Fielding is a delight in The Completely Made Up Adventures of Duck Turpin on Apple +.

The comedic callbacks are hilarious. Esp his improving sewing machine

What if when making a "fear monster" for you fantasy or sci fi story you *didn't* base it on a spider, snake, insect, or a slug?

So many creepy things in nature, I'm sick of spider monsters with "glossy chitinous legs" snake-like monsters that "slither sinisterly."

Cut it out.

Base your scary creature on a chinchilla, a capybara, an orchid, a dove, a human.

Leave the arthropods, snakes and invertebrates out of it.

Or if you MUST do an insect do butterflies. THEY can't be trusted.

It's wild how, "Car manufacturers elected to electrify the premium and luxury segments of their product lineup and interest rates are sky high," gets turned into, "people don't want electric cars," in the media.

Bad news: the helicopter accidentally used sewerage wastewater to put out the bushfire near a residential area north-east of Perth.

Good news: the multi-day heat wave of 40°C weather should kill all the bacteria.
