MEET ‘PYCANUM RUBENS’ 🐞
In the lush landscapes of Prey Veng province, #Cambodia, I spotted a fascinating insect: the Pycanum rubens, perched elegantly on a leaf.
Tessaratomids, or giant shield bugs, often resemble large stink bugs.
Some species are notorious agricultural pests, impacting crops significantly. Interestingly, in some cultures, a few tessaratomid species are also enjoyed as a culinary delicacy 😋
Next time you’re in #Cambodia, keep an eye out for these incredible insects! 🌍
I will repeat it until I'm blue in the face... I made $12.50 an hour working 70+ hours a week on Black Panther Wakanda Forever... went up to $14 on Blade v1.0...
I spent tens of thousands of dollars paying photographers, studios, models, makeup artists, costume designers, prop makers, and assistants to create our Stock assets.
I loved this work and invested everything I could give.
Adobe used their ToS to scrape my IP, and gave it to grifters who then flooded the same market with GenAI.
They used my own IP to compete against me.
Keep that in mind right now.
Is $14 million enough compensation for a person wrongfully imprisoned for 37 years?
More context:
Robert DuBoise, who was 18 when the crime occurred, was initially sentenced to death for the killing of 19-year-old Barbara Grams. Although his sentence was later reduced to life in prison, it wasn’t until 2018 — with help from the Innocence Project organization — that prosecutors agreed to give the case another look.
DNA testing that was not available in the early 1980s pointed toward two other men in the slaying, leading to DuBoise’s release from prison in 2020. Not long after that, DuBoise sued the city of Tampa, police officers who investigated the case and a forensic dentist who had testified that his teeth matched a bite mark on the victim.
The lawsuit was settled Jan. 11 but the Tampa City Council voted unanimously Thursday to approve it and officially award the $14 million to DuBoise, now 59. Council members said the money is the least the city could do for him.
