This "ghost tapping" warning has the whiff of bullshit - or at the very least, overblowing something that is exceedingly rare. (A lot of local TV stations picked this up.)

It has been a while... so have some ants!

I believe these are Red Harvester Ants taken near Lake Hefner in Oklahoma

Joan, but festive 🎅🏼🎄

No-one has leverage (sufficient enough, or that they are willing to use) over the Israeli government, and so some governments think that doing something ineffective and dangerous is better than continuing to sit on their hands while watching the Israeli military slaughter and starve an entire population.

El drama, hoy por hoy, es que nadie tiene la valentía toserle al emperador.
Yo diría “casi nadie” entre los con poder. Hay mucha gente del público, pero los líderes de las instituciones están fallándonos.

I sometimes look at the rented flat I live in and think, "this is a shithole"

but

I don't have bombs falling on me every day

i don't have strangers i can't even see firing guns at me every day

i have a roof over my head and a bed to sleep on

i have running water and plenty to drink

i have food, i don't have to scrabble around in the dirt hoping to get a few grains of flour

i am not sitting here with my own body slowly consuming itself because of not having food for days or weeks

I had hoped the article would provide more better concrete actions you can take to reduce the problem, because my stomach suffers hard. I gotta go to the toilet before even a casual 10 k recovery run or risk needing to stop my run early.

My one marathon was severely impacted by a sore stomach, though thanks to the pacer being significantly positively split I still hit my target time.

I've done several triathlons of Olympic distance and of roughly 1.5x Olympic distance, and I don't think I've ever once had one where my stomach felt good on the run.

And both marathons and even more so triathlons are such a specific difficult load on your body, it's not really like it's something you can easily test on your average training runs. The combination of intensity and length just doesn't make for good training most of the time. So opportunities to play around with different nutrition etc. to try and find a working solution are so rare.

My usual 15km trail run, squeezed in today around lunchtime because it was pouring with rain before and after. On top of that, the temperature plummeted from almost 30°C at the weekend to 8°C today ... But what can you say, it's spring and after the rain the vegetation almost seems to explode ...

Some trails turn into a swamp, but after all, what's the point of having proper #TrailRunning equipment 😁

Today, I only managed to do a shorter than usual 11 km trail run, as I had to pick up my wife from physio, where she got dry needling treatment. It's a bit like acupuncture for grown ups and, how can I put it, not for the faint hearted. Those needles!!! But apparently very effective 🤪

It's not even July yet, and even here at around 1,000m in the mountains, it's above 30°C... you can only run properly in the morning.

Sonnet 133 - CXXXIII
Beshrew that heart that makes my heart to groan
For that deep wound it gives my friend and me!
Is't not enough to torture me alone,
But slave to slavery my sweet'st friend must be?
Me from myself thy cruel eye hath taken,
And my next self thou harder hast engrossed:
Of him, myself, and thee I am forsaken;
A torment thrice three-fold thus to be crossed.
Prison my heart in thy steel bosom's ward,
But then my friend's heart let my poor heart bail;
Whoe'er keeps me, let my heart be his guard;
Thou canst not then use rigour in my jail:
And yet thou wilt; for I, being pent in thee,
Perforce am thine, and all that is in me.

Leaf Cutter Ant Debris Piles?

@myrmepropagandist I was at the American Museum of Natural History yesterday. Watching the leaf cutters, I noticed piles of brown dust-like material outside the glass bulbs that serve as fungus growing chambers. There were piles outside most of the chambers, empty, full, or partly full.

My guess is that they were piles of dead ants. The docent didn't know.

I'm wondering whether you have a second to tell me what they were.

Thanks!

April has passed, so how are my teams doing so far?
The Swallows are in last place in the Central League, 3.5 games behind the first place team.
The Rockies are in last place in the NL West, 11 games behind the team in next to last place.
Onward!

Sonnet 148 - CXLVIII
O me! what eyes hath Love put in my head,
Which have no correspondence with true sight;
Or, if they have, where is my judgment fled,
That censures falsely what they see aright?
If that be fair whereon my false eyes dote,
What means the world to say it is not so?
If it be not, then love doth well denote
Love's eye is not so true as all men's: no,
How can it? O! how can Love's eye be true,
That is so vexed with watching and with tears?
No marvel then, though I mistake my view;
The sun itself sees not, till heaven clears.
O cunning Love! with tears thou keep'st me blind,
Lest eyes well-seeing thy foul faults should find.

I am so sad to hear Pope Francis has died. He was the absolute best of what the Catholic Church can represent - humble, standing up for immigrants & the poor and marginalized.
I truly believe he used his last strength standing up to forces of evil, including those twisting Catholicism.
May his actions and life be an inspiration to all of us who could take the easier route.

May we instead speak up and act on behalf of those less fortunate, in favor of justice and what is right. Pope Francis did so on Easter. After he met JD Vance, his deputy read an Easter prayer supporting migrants.

I don’t know that there is another figure who can fill the void in the same way as Pope Francis did, other than a new Pope who espouses similar teachings and actions. May he rest in peace and may we collectively step up to have similar impact.

Anyone who didn't vote, voted for Jill Stein or voted for trump are complicit and need to be held accountable for their action. Period.

I've encouraged people to make a list so they dont' forget who in their circles or communities voted for trump or helped him get elected because they're going to start complaining and pretending they didn't and they need to outted
