Evolution of sideways locomotion in crabs
elifesciences.org
Jo Wolfe, PhD@jopabinia.bsky.social · 12mo ago🚨 Exciting new crab preprint! A Japanese team found that sideways walking only evolved once! Maybe carcinization itself is necessary but not sufficient to go sideways? When it's lost, the species that go forward have alternate anti predation behaviors. 🧪🦑🦀 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

this shit is never going to end is it (THAT shot from "Notting Hill" was a master class in production design, choreography, camera work OH AND ALSO digital effects.)
I most certainly did not expect to see both MacStories and AppStories as the only two bookmarks in some shots of the new Netflix series 'The Madness' 😮 Whoever snuck these in: thank you! You've got excellent taste in blogs and podcasts 😄 (For those curious: S1E1, 39 minutes and 20 seconds.)
