  • Ooh bear facts! My favorite bear fact is that there is no grizzly bear species. Sure, there’s regional genetic variation, but they are all genetically brown bears.

    What they are named for is the grey hairs on their pelt, which are caused by the stress of malnutrition. This is why they are so much more aggressive than the other bears: they are literally starving because there is not enough calories in their environment to keep so many land sharks happy and healthy.



  • I have heard heard some people claim that Jernau Morat Gurgeh (from Player of Games by Ian M Banks) is probably autistic, but personally i think he’s more Ace-coded than anything else. Maybe you might think otherwise?

    Personally I think a better example is Stafl-Preonsa Fal Shilde 'Ngeestra dam Crose, the Referrer from Consider Phlebas. She has a fixation on free solo climbing, and enough brainpower that supercomputers go to her for advice. I personally found the robot that was crushing on her to be super cute.

    Oscar Mayer Wienermobile crashes on tollway, police say

    The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile was involved in a rollover accident on the Tri-State Tollway near west suburban Oak Brook late Monday morning, Illinois State Police said.

    The famed hot dog-shaped vehicle was traveling north near Roosevelt Road about 11:10 a.m. when it hit a Hyundai sedan that was also traveling north, state police said. The wienermobile lost control and overcorrected after hitting the second vehicle and rolled over onto its side, according to state police.

    The tollway’s northbound right lane was shut down from the time of the crash until about 12:25 p.m. while state troopers investigated. No injuries were reported, police said.

    I would like to see a study done with several groups:

    1. People who read multiple books each year
    2. People who watch lots of video essays
    3. People who listen to podcasts
    4. People who prefer short-form content such as TikTok
    5. Veterans
    6. Educators, such as teachers or professors
    7. Librarians
    8. A control group composed of people who either do not fit into the other categories

    I’ve heard a lot of people claiming some of these groups are better than others of these groups, but I’m rooting for a null result.
