A footnote on anole brains:
We* used to think that lizards were terribly stupid reflex automata operating entirely on instinct and with no capability for learning or higher cognitive function. When animal neurology studies began, we could see that reptile brains don't have the complex layered cerebral cortex you see in mammals - they do have a cortex, but it's smooth and simple. Case closed, right?
Well, it turned out we were looking in the wrong place. Reptile forebrains' dorsal ventricular ridges have a very high neural density, with stellate neurons in extremely interconnected clusters that don't really resemble anything mammals have. And it turns out *that's* where neural activity lights up when a lizard needs to solve a complex cognitive task. Anoles specifically have proportionally enormous forebrains - *less* of their overall brain area is dedicated to simple motor automation than in birds and mammals.
Also, unlike mammals, reptiles have rapid neurogenesis throughout life, and their activities and experiences affect where new brain tissue grows. They actually *physically restructure their brains* as well as rewire connections.
*) Nobody who spent any significant time watching or interacting with lizards believed this.

The Value of Rural Walks
Reading Time: 4 minutesSome series, like Last of the Summer Wine, follow people going on local walks and getting up to mischief. We often hear of people that love to go for walks on the weekend. The issue, as traffic density increases is that the local walks that were along quiet roads are now along busier and busier roads.
At the same time, when road works block one road traffic is diverted along secondary and tertiary roads. Recently a very important road was shut to traffic entirely. As a result of this closure a route that was once an agricultural road, reserved only for rural roads was used by a Transport Public de Nyon bus as well as a French car from Ain. What was meant to be a quiet road, exclusively for farmers, by being metalled, became a short cut for local buses and commuters.
Within the space of a few minutes I saw three cars go down what should be a prime walking path. It wouldn’t be so bad, but the main road has no walking path. The only walking trail is informal, created by people walking along the route and preventing grass and other plants from growing.
When I got to Signy, I walked along a tertiary road and along this road two cars drove by too fast, and too close, but especially too close. It is a shame for the people that live in this village.If people that live in a village can’t respect people walking in their own village, then what respect will the same villagers get from those that are commuting via that village?
When I got to Grens, they narrowed the road to slow cars down, but it doesn’t slow cars down. It encourages them to shoot the rapids to get through before they’re blocked.
Yesterday as I walked in Grens a TPN bus went onto the pavement ahead of me squeezing me against the wall, without any respect or due care and attention. Of course I could stop, and make space for the bus but the road is narrowed for cars and buses, and I was on a “protected” segment of road, that was ignored by the bus.
If this happened once I’d accept it without a word. The issue is that every single village is becoming a 30 zone, and real physical pavements are being replaced by bollards and flattened. This means that cars no longer need to mount the curb to get on a “pavement” and that pavements are now conceptual rather than real.
This means that if you walk in Eysins, cars can run you over, with ease, especially at rush hour, and the same is true of Signy, Grens and other villages.
In the past when we walked on farm roads they were made of dirt so cars didn’t drive along them. When we walked in villages we had real pavements and 50 zones, so cars would destroy their tires if they mounted pavements too fast. The more 30 zones I see, the more real pavements, real barriers are removed, the less pleasant walking becomes.
In the idealised world imagined by bureaucrats 30 zones are respected but in my experience as a person walking up to five and a half million steps per year theory and reality are different.
What gets to me is that in Europe at least, towns are already walkable and cycling is possible, if we’re ready to take secondary streets and roads. They spend months adding walking routes, and I use plenty of them in Nyon and Morges, and cycling routes near Divonne and Geneva, so I take advantage of the infrastructure.
My issue is that Eysins, Crans, Grens, Arnex-sur-Nyon and other villages are turning into commuter towns and suburbs rather than walker friendly. They are being optimised for people that drive everywhere, at the expense of local walkability.
The fact that two cars in Signy drove by without slowing when they saw me, and that the bus skimmed me in Grens illustrates that walking is a second hand citizen and that cars are seen as primary in these commuter villages.
In my eyes, and experience making towns and cities walkable is a fantastic idea, but if the countryside stops being walkable due to commuters and transit traffic, then we lose something very important. Why live in the countryside, if to go for a walk we have to drive to town, in order to walk safely?
What I want is simply a gravel path, alongside main roads so that I can walk between villages safely, and without my shoes getting soaked with dew, and muddy. I want villages to ensure that we can walk safely within villages. I felt safer in villages with real pavements, and 50 km/h speed limits. 30 per hour, and no pavement, with rush hour traffic is frightening.
Some will say “So don’t walk at rush hour” and I’d answer, “increase bus frequency, and plan infrastructure that takes human nature into account.” In the end I use the car, not out of laziness, but because the walking infrastructure where I live is not suitable for someone to feel safe to walk. Before the road works to encourage walking and cycling I cycled almost daily, and I walked almost daily. Now I drive the car daily, and then run. Cycling and walking have both been demoted. That new infrastructure work broke my habits, rather than encouraged me.
Idealistically, by this time next year the endless road works will be over, but for now, I’m glad to have an EV to drive to safer places for walking and running.

A Look Back at X-Men 2099 #23 (1995)

Anyone who wants to use this article, in part or in whole, needs to secure first my permission and agree to cite me as the source and author.

Welcome back, superhero enthusiasts, 1990s culture enthusiasts, X-Men fans and comic book collectors! Today we revisit the Marvel Comics shared universe through one of the many tales of the X-Men 2099 monthly series.
Having taken over the United States as its President, Doom 2099’s impact was undeniably felt even though his appearances in X-Men 2099 issues #21 and #22 were pretty short. Along the way, members of the futuristic X-Men are gradually making their way back together. While Meanstreak and Krystalin have reunited and left Las Vegas, the trio of Skullfire, Shakti and Luna pursue a dangerous mission to get back Xi’an who has officially joined the Theater of Pain led by the demonic Brimstone Love.
With those details laid down, here is a look back at X-Men 2099 #23, published by Marvel Comics in 1995 with a story written by John Francis Moore and drawn by Ron Lim.
The cover.Early story
The story begins with Junkpile who was recently rescued by Doom’s team and restored to functioning status. Doom’s minister of humanity Morphine Somers informs him that he has the chance to join SHIELD (the elite security force of the nation) and operate autonomously and with full administrative sanction. Suddenly, Doom himself appears and convinces Junkpile to calm down and formally join SHIELD.
Over at Death Valley, Skullfire, Shakti and Luna are disguised and traveling with the many disenfranchised people (the ones discarded and unwanted by society) heading to the floodgate bio-resource processing center. Even though the odds are tremendous, the three of them are determined to find their former leader Xi’an and save him from the Theater of Pain.
Upon arriving at the floodgate facility filled with armed guards and handlers, Skullfire, Shakti and Luna join the line for processing. Watching from a distance is Xi’an who is now operating as Controller X…
Quality
Pay attention to the details closely. In 2099, human lives can be disregarded or turned into something else.Apart from the obvious fact that this particular story is part of the build-up towards the events of issue #25, this comic book carries a fundamental expansion of the lore of America of 2099. As the theme of mega corporations taking over America has been a core element of Marvel 2099, this X-Men 2099 tale further explores what happens to the social outcasts and unwanted people, and why the self-declared authorities have such power to have each of them processed under heavy surveillance.
Even without resources, Skullfire, Shakti and Luna push through with their very dangerous mission.Through words and images, the Moore-Lim duo gave readers a really dark look at how human lives got turned into commodities by those who wield a lot of power in 2099 America. Some people who got processed end up being subjects for medical experimentation, others are groomed for private pleasure dens while the best ones are prepared for the use of the Theater of Pain. That said, Xi’an being part of the Theater of Pain as Controller X really strikes hard at the foundation of the futuristic X-Men who have been struggling a lot since he left them.
More on the plot itself, the X-Men are the underdogs and they really don’t have much resources nor a solid strategy to get to Xi’an while dealing with the dangerous forces of Brimstone Love and the Theater of Pain. Fortunately for them, there are a few others who have the means to take on the Theater of Pain directly.
Conclusion
Junkpile joins SHIELD in the presence of Doom 2099.X-Men 2099 #23 (1995) is another engaging read and it nicely sets the stage for the inevitable big story in issue #25. The odds are really up against the X-Men whose three members are truly determined to get Xi’an back believing there is hope for him to turn away from the Theater of Pain. Bigger than the story itself is the presentation about the immense power others have over the people and why being a social outcast can be very dangerous. That said, I am looking forward to the next issue and see how it connects with issue #25.
Overall, X-Men 2099 #23 (1995) is recommended.
