I'm reblogging this because it looks important 👀
A few of these are probably referring to the date posting bug thing, but AAAAAAAAAAAH!
Why do so many cephalopods die immediately after reproducing?
Okay so the physical reason is that mating triggers a change in their brain chemistry and hormone levels that essentially poisons them and makes them behave strangely and stop eating. If the gland responsible for this change is removed, the cephalopod continues as normal and lives for many months after laying eggs.
But the evolutionary reason is the end-Cretaceous extinction. Cephalopods used to have a pretty huge variation in lifespan, ranging from a few months to over 200 years (https://www.iflscience.com/ancient-paperclipshaped-sea-creature-could-live-for-200-years-57685)
Large, long-lived cephalopods were hit hard by the mass extinction and those who survived did so by being short-lived and reproducing quickly, so they were selected for as cephalopods recovered from the extinction event. The most ancient species, the nautilus, can live for several decades and mate many times, hinting at the high diversity of life strategies that cephalopods used to have.
So yeah, the reason octopuses usually only live a year or two before self-destructing is because of that fucking asteroid.

Missed opportunity :((((
My Cowboy.
He needed help. And how could I help a cowboy? What was the best way to help him? I have no fucking idea.
"All apologies man! What else could I say?"
Is it weird to say that when he said this, I had the best eargasm ever. It's not because it's spring and in this season women are particularly "in heat", but the thing is that he looked hot as hell when he said this to my dad.
Now, to help the man that accidentally spilled his coffee drink on my texan dad's shirt, I said that he was a dear friend of mine and that he didn't do that on purpose.
My dad looked at me as if I killed his dog Roofus. Acting as if I was innocent, I look back at him and say "What's up? You're surely not mad just because of a mere shirt getting dirty, are you? Come on now dad! Can you go inside and get me a cappuccino please?" by now I was only rambling. But nonetheless my dad nodded at the man and went inside.
"Thanks for getting me out of the dirt, doll. He was pissed as hell, thought he was gon beat the fuck outta me and I would never see the light again." he said while chuckling.
"Nah, don't sweat it. You know texan men have anger issues." I laugh.
"Name's Blaze by the way. Nice to meet you." he gave me his hand and I shook it while saying: "I'm Brooklyn. Nice to meet ya too! Are you new to town? Haven't seen ya round here before"
"Yeahhh. Got here a week ago. Moved from Dallas. Wanted to change scenery and got to Austin. People 've told me that they have pretty cowgirls 'roun here, you know."
Oh you sneaky little shit.
wild that the "that guy" here is originally "wan-chan" or "doggie" in japanese and is the same thing that marito calls matakara in episodes 7 and 10...
I was today years old when I realized...
There's a label on the knob. You don't have to randomly turn it and spray it, hoping it's the right one. I feel stupid.
Ooohh I just realised/noticed Will fidgeting with the cuffs of his jeans is actually a Noah thing

Dear "But Hillary would be the first female president" people
You know what Bernie Sanders would be? The first Jewish President. And alongside that (though it goes without saying) the first non-Christian President.
In a country dominated by Christians, run on their values, and where ‘because the bible says so’ is considered a valid political argument, that’s just as important (if not moreso) as a female president. And while its not ever been as prevalent as racism or mysoginy, antisemitism has played a role in American history (and Western history in general), so this would also be a way to push away from that.
Just thought I’d point this out, since no one seems to be talking about it.
So funky fact~ the Votann symbol on the front is from a Major League, the Trans-Hyperian Alliance which has the main color of orange hence the orange cover.
The insignia of the Trans-Hyperian Alliance is a stylised Kin glyph. So yes it is a language but also it's not a real language, it would be awesome if they released a Kin glyph dictionary eventually but one could only hope.
I don't know why they picked blue as the other color, it is not really a flattering combo with orange. Orange and Black would of been amazing but what you can do eh?
Now that I got around to seeing the announcement article for the book, I must say that this is a, uh... bold choice in terms of visuals?
Don't get me wrong it looks 100% better than the shovelware-looking garbage they put on the regular Horus Heresy covers for example, but... dang this does look a bit random. My guess is that its the main character's faction colors and symbol? It just looks a lot like a stylized kanji, so I really hope GW didn't by accident put something really dumb on their book from a chinese or japanese perspective...
