The classic “demon duck of doom”, Bullockornis, is from the same family. I guess this one is more of a gargantuan goose of…well, honestly any synonym for doom would be redundant after goose anyway.

The St. Louis couple who went viral in 2020 for waving their firearms at Black Lives Matter protesters marching past their house got a clean slate from a Missouri judge who expunged misdemeanors from their records this week. Now, they want their precious guns back

a follow up on that. the new ceo - will lewis - is also from the telegraph, and so hiring the telegraph editor to run the news room is him hiring his tabloid friends. and there’s this:
the ceo has been pressuring reporters at the post ( and elsewhere ) on what they can write, and has fired the executive editor who pushed back
democracy dies in the hands of murdoch tabloids, i guess is their new tagline
( eta: looks like @kathypartdeux beat me to it, over on the follow-up thread. beverages. get your ice cold beverages. )

You know what? Give them the guns back with an apology that the guns “accidentally” fell into a furnace / car crusher / other hydraulic press / industrial shredder / etc. on their way back from the evidence room.

The trouble arises when humans introduce various earthworm species to areas where they are not native. Non-native earthworms likely first began arriving in North America a few hundred years ago as Europeans began to reach the continent, said Scott Loss, an ecologist at Oklahoma State University. But over time, more and more species have shown up and colonized the U.S., Mexico, and Canada — and a recent scientific study revealed some eye-popping numbers.
According to the paper, 70 different non-native species have now made it to North America, comprising a full 23% of all known earthworm species on the continent. Jerome Mathieu, an ecologist at the Sorbonne University in France and one of the paper’s authors, saw this impact first-hand a few years ago while studying earthworms at a nature reserve outside Stanford, California. “All I found was exotic worms,” he said.
