  1. Today's #TuneTuesday theme is from @lil_meow_meow and is called #BetterCover
    A song where the cover is better than the original.

    I submit Grace Jones's "Private Life." The Pretenders' original is fine I suppose but Grace owns that song now.

    Let's have a look at the massive evolutionary splits in the plant kingdom:

    1. The Great Split: Angiosperms vs. Gymnosperms

    About 300 million years ago, plants split into two radically different evolutionary lineages:

    #Gymnosperms: These are the ancient seed plants that don't produce flowers (like conifers, ginkgos, and cycads). A pine tree is a gymnosperm.

    #Angiosperms: These are the younger, highly successful evolutionary line of flowering plants.

  7. We're going to a party on Monday (it's Memorial Day here in the US and traditionally people cook out), and I am having trouble choosing between, at the moment, making maple cupcakes or frangipane swirl brownies to bring, and OBVIOUSLY part of my brain is shouting that that means I should bring both but maybe I could chill a little?

  8. @marielgm @stevegis_ssg uh yeah yes please, #Montreal food places. I'm willing to accept any recs.

    All I've got for food so far is a couple bagel places in #MileEnd, #DucDeLorraine for pastries, and #JeanTalon Farmers Market.

  9. RE: mstdn.party/@aloudonline/11662

    This is what happens when a young (at the time anyway, and obviously still younger than me) woman with the voice and soul of an ancient R&B belter sings a catchy pop song with a kick-ass rock band all of whom are individually super-talented and who trust each other and play terrifically together. I loved this song the first time I heard it, I think like 6 blocks from my house but I might be misremembering, as that was, I'm told, 20 years ago.

  10. We're going to a cookout on Monday and I have decided that this means I should go to the Fancy Meat Store and make sausage. This, however, requires me to get my ass off the couch and get ready to leave the house at the crack of 4.

  11. The Fancy Meat Store is VERY expensive but also the meat is incredible and so are the people who work there. You can just roll up to the counter and say, This is what I'm trying to accomplish, and here are the limits of my abilities, and they understand you and work with you and get you exactly what you want.

    Great to see engagement around #ArtAppreciation happening on Mastodon.

    There was a approach to painting religious topics during the #Renaissance known as the #SienaSchool.

    Askew, troubling, yet not treated as heresy or blasphemy, the paintings are bizzare or weird if the viewer allows themselves to see and respond.

    The Nun too does a great job of daring the viewer to look closely and not skim over troubling details.

    Thanks for sharing the images.

    There's also academia.edu which lets you download papers from researchers' pages.Finally, I have no problem with using Sci–Hub if I can't get a paper any other way, tho it"s technically piracy (n. b. only affects publishers' profits since academics don't make any money from journal publications). I strongly believe #KnowledgeShouldBeFree, especially publicly funded research.

    Nature doesn't care about our neat, tidy human labels. If a body plan works—like growing a massive wooden trunk to out-compete your neighbors for sunlight—completely different species will keep reinventing that exact same shape over and over again.

  18. @stevegis_ssg yep! I have seen both! The details and the symbols are different. Of course the one across Building 7 is full of scientific symbols!

    2. The Oak, the Daisy, and the Pine

    Because oaks and daisies are both flowering plants (angiosperms), they share a much more recent common ancestor with each other than either of them does with a pine tree.

  24. Wild news but I'm concerned that this is going to throw it to one of the two high-ranking players I root against. I am a petty bitch and I'm okay with that but also these guys have both given us abundant reason to root against them.

  25. Holy shit the mas.to character count (maybe the default?) has been increased to 1000!

    OH NO LOOK OUT WORLD HE'S ABOUT TO GET *EVEN* *MORE* LONG-WINDED IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE WHAT THE FUCK

  26. @stevegis_ssg @RickiTarr that connection between physics and ministry isn't that uncommon. I read the #TaoOfPhysics by #FritjofCapra when I was 19 and doing a Chemistry degree and it was mindblowing..if you understand everything is energy there are many parallels between science and spirituality.
