He doesn’t look all that tasty in the picture, but if we steam him in beer, add a toasted bun and some stone ground mustard, maybe he’ll be more appetizing?

Coral snakes are the least of my problems. And they are common, all over our neighborhood. They come out when we get some rain.
They are shy, they are easy to spot, and they have super tiny mouths. No problem. I like them quite a bit. If they manage to actually get a part of me in their mouths, and chew hard, I’m dead in 10 minutes or less. Most hospitals here don’t stock their antivenin, just rattlesnake antivenin.
ETA: added a link to the shiny shiny Texas coral snake re their bites

I stepped outside to see how it was cooling down. (Nicely!) On the way in, I wondered who’d tossed an LED on the steps. A funny colour too. It wasn’t green or yellow, sort of in the middle… Oh yeah! Good luck with the mating attraction thing there firefly!

Half the time Google News on my phone does a good job of finding stories related to my interests, but the other half, it thinks that I’m a secret Nazi!
Today it gave me post on Sebastian Gorka’s own site, and a twit from Charlie Kirk. Blocking Gorka’s site was easy, but I can only block the entire topic of Charlie Kirk, not Charlie Kirk’s twits. Hey, if there’s a reputable story that his head finally exploded, I want to see it! Sent feedback.

They were pushing James O’Keefe on me the other day. That’s some Goose-stepper of an algorithm. Sent a nastygram.
Interestingly, they won’t let you say “Don’t tell me about Donald Trump.”

I get that in my news feed too. I want to read what (and how) the extremists are saying, not just an echo chamber of what I already believe to be accurate, but the AI doesn’t understand general research is not the same thing as being a die-hard believer.

Worst band name EVER!

Simply because I couldn’t believe punk would have passed a name like that by, I give you:
Or:
Or with heavy metal umlaut (so clearly 10x better than the others):
also not on bandcamp so clearly far more hardcore…

I was not aware that this was a thing. I’m way behind the curve for that knowledge.

For when you have to take your kids to exercise class with you!

Every night for the last few weeks, between 11:30pm and midnight, a little spider has wandered in from the hall, paused in front of the TV then headed under the couch. I have no idea what she’s doing, or why she is so punctual.
Alternatively, there is a spider army under the couch now, increasing by one soldier a night…

The pause is it waiting for a signal from the others.

One is fine. Otherwise, nope!
