Random thing about Digimon. Is that Gabumon is a scaly that wants to be a furry. Eventually, they get their wish. I am very proud of them for this

Hey fun fact from my zooarchaeology class. Clavicles are fucking weird. Most mammals don't have them!
Cats do but theirs are vestigeal and they don't USE them. Us apes neeed them for shoulder stability due to climbing and shit.
Other animals with useful clavicles include bats and some climbing rodents.

eg yesterday i found out that brantford was called „the ladies team“ in 1936 because they had so many female fans

Random Fact of the Day: Lack of Improvisation in Rush’s Early Days
Last year (2021), Alex had a conversation with Canada's Long & McQuade where answered questions sent in by people. He talked about the Alex Lifeson Les Paul Axcess Standard, guitars, solos, among other stuff. When talking about solos, he was asked about improvisation. He went talk about the lack of improvisation in Rush's early days.
"I think traditionally we always tried to recreate what our albums were. So, certainly in the earlier days, what you heard on the record was what you were gonna hear live except that it's amplified and it's live," he said. "As things progressed, we became more complicated in our arrangements and our music, but we always tried to recreate what we did on a record live."
He noted that when Rush did choose to improvise a song for the first time, they would pick a designated section to do it, and then repeated it the same way each time going forward.
"We were very anal about being pretty accurate in whatever we did," he admitted. "We loosened up in the later years. But I think it was always more important to try to recreate something that people had been listening to and were used to."
He noted that he felt it's important to keep the solos as close to the original as possible. He didn't want to disappoint the fans.
"If you play a song pretty faithfully and then you come to the solo, which can be a high point of the song, and it's not really related to the actual solo you've been listening to a million times, it's very, very disappointing, I think. So I always tried to be as close as I could to the solos that I originally did," he said.
The video also includes a quick rundown of the specs of his signature guitar.

CAT Ghost INSTINCTS
Damian comes back to the manor one day with... a new school acquaintance (coughfriendcough) due to the fact they need to work on a school project together and Danny Fenton was the only one in that class that Damian would tolerate to have as a partner.
Everything about the kid seemed normal, heck very normal if a bit shy... or at least that was until the kid suddenly zero focused on a corner of the room and stared at it non blinking. Then after what felt like hours blinked once and returned to normal, chatting away like nothing happened.
....It also doesn't help that Alfred the cat... did the same thing.. at the same time as Danny.
Yeah something is... off about Damian's new friend.

Imma be honest, at first I had NO idea that Law was 26 entire years old. I learned his official age in a comment on a Pinterest post, like, I was none the wiser.
You mean to tell me that this is a grown ass man?! ^
THIS?! ^ LIES
I admit that I can see it post time skip, especially in Punk Hazard and Zou. (He was just a twink in Dressrosa. A foolish twink.)
But THIS?!
NAW. When he showed up I guessed that he was like 18, 19, maybe 20. But 24?!?! Really?!?! I don’t have a problem with his age or anything I was just genuinely shocked!
But come on. This is not a grown ass man ^ This is a teenage dirtbag. Cue Wheezer guitar riff.
I COULDN’T HAVE BEEN THE ONLY ONE
His stoner fit fooled me! I know people complain about shipping Luffy and Law because of the age gap but like… dude, I seriously had no idea he was in his twenties 😭
I find it so amusing that this goofy emo dude is a full grown adult man. With full on medical expertise and everything. Love that for him.
Fact of the day, hands down.

I love how Gwaine’s whole thing with Merlin is: I’ll follow you into any chaos you want but do you really need to bring your boyfriend along?
Then just casually being in love with him the entire time.
“Arthur’s lucky to have us.”
“Not Arthur.”
They’re madly in love and no one can convince me otherwise.

Random Fact of the Day: Fender Bass
A certain bass Geddy Lee is known for playing.
In June 2015, during Rush's R40 Tour, Geddy Lee told Toronto Life ten things he can't live without. At number five, it's his 1972 Fender Jazz bass. Here is what he said.
"I bought it for $200 in the late ’70s at a pawnshop in Kalamazoo. There’s something about its tone that’s just perfect for me. It’s irreplaceable."

#horseshoe crabs#I had a fun day at the beach#60% of my time was spent looking for horseshoe crabs#sadly I didn't find any tagged ones so no horseshoe crab pin for me 😔#God I love these creatures though#shoutout to the girl and her boyfriend who were very interested in hearing my Horseshoe Crab Facts spiel#especially bc the girl let me teach her how to hold the crab so she could take a pic with it#I respect you random beach girl#and your lack of fear when faced with a creature that looks like a facehugger#I'm obsessed with how utterly chill and harmless horseshoe crabs are#they just scoot along like little roombas#and look so creepy but have no ability to hurt anyone#(I don't think they're creepy though. I think they're adorable perfect little angels)#and the way they move is perfect. it looks fake#I wish I could spend the next 7 hours at the beach staring at horseshoe crabs#why oh why must I be here with my family. these losers want to do things like 'go back to the hotel because it's getting dark'#booooo cowards#join me in some nighttime horseshoe crab excursions#cute animals#crabs#(not actually a crab)

I was today years old when I realised (thankfully on my own) that the English noun moron (meaning “idiot”) comes from the Greek adjective μωρός (morós), meaning “foolish”.
The word, which is used since ancient times, has evolved to have several additional usages besides that one.
The feminine version μωρή (morí) has become a generic vocative word which expresses disrespect and is not necessarily questioning the addressed woman’s intelligence in specific.
The masculine vocative form μωρέ (moré) has become a very generic exclamative term that can add colour to a phrase regardless of meaning. For example, τι λες μωρέ; (ti les moré - what the heck/ on earth are you saying, could work in a similar way to express bafflement at hearing something strange) but also μωρέ είμαι κουρασμένος (moré íme kurazménos - well, you see, I am tired, can be used in a similar way to soften the phrase that implies avoidance, like softening the rejection of a proposal to go out). It can regulate the exclamation in a sentence in a myriad of such ways.
But an even more interesting case is the neuter form of the word, which has turned into a noun, and is now the most common everyday word for the baby [το μωρό(ν) - to moró(n)], because a baby of course does not have well developed perception yet.
In other words, we earnestly call our babies morons by default and I think that’s beautiful.

So remember in s5e7 when this iconic scene happened:
Merlin rested his hands on Arthur's chest, right? And Merlin, being so connected with earth and its magic, told Gaius that “the sickness is so deep in him.”
Which means that, a few episodes later in diamond of the day, Merlin literally felt the exact moment Arthur died.
