Dec 15: Do not be afraid! When you think lampreys maybe you think of the invasive, parasitic sea lamprey. Not only is the Northern brook lamprey native to the Great Lakes, the larvae of this species are planktivores, + adults reproduce + die without even feeding! #25DaysofFishmas

arguing that a disaster that hit merritt, princeton, vancouver island and the fraser valley isn't connected to climate change because 70 years ago there was a big flood in one of those four regions in an entirely different time of the year isn't the gotcha moment you think it is

There once was a model, ANOVA,
who along with their cousin ANCOVA,
made a great big confession:
“We’re the same as regression,
but we’ve established a separate persona.”

“Exxon started building all its drilling rigs to compensate for the rise in sea level it knew was coming.”

A toss off part of this interview but seems profound to me. They acknowledged climate change was real but only so they might further our destruction.

The entire Dune cycle is based on a terrible pun.

1. The spice is called melange.
2. The spice confers power and longevity.
3. Melange is a French word for variety.

In other words, variety is the spice of life.

Why does no one ever talk about this?
