  1. While I wish the Gruaniad would drop these silly ‘reveal’ presentations - they really do not add anything, this is still a god explainer of the way many PE companies operate (not all). Having had an extended tussle with one when we were trying to convert out company to an employee owned organisation that they wanted to buy and strip, I hate the bar stewards. 6 months of life being dominated by attempts to force me in law to desist.

  4. Found a
    b leech!!
    Actually 4... two went in my pond, one in a fish tank behind the shed, one in the neighbour's pond! Dug a couple of shovelful to start cleaning the ditch and found them a foot down in the river clay...

    Yay!

    Pinto beans starting to sprout, moved a dozen leeks outdoors, two cauliflower to a larger container and plucked some weeds. Also relayed the pond cover...

  6. Geometry > Scale 2.0.: Манифест LILA: Как замерзшие пальцы и 10 строк кода обнуляют 7 триллионов Сэма Альтмана

    Пока Сэм Альтман и Qualcomm греются в лучах своих триллионов и играют в гольф запуская конкурсы по эффективным SML (задним числом), через неделю после моего поста на reddit и Хабре про Lila-E8 ( с мемом про Сэма 🤣 похоже мем дошел до него ) Sovereign-Lila-Leech родилась из замерзших пальцев в маршрутке и опыта физики частиц. Я заморозил 240 корней E8 на треке физики , а затем и ядро Лича, сделав их Source of Truth для интеллекта. Математика не должна вычисляться – она должна существовать. В Lila Leech замороженное ядро – это ледяная игла, пробивающая пузырь корпоративного ИИ.

  7. @RikerGoogling

    Can a Xerxes be offensively trans, just for 300 spartan Trans Hater muscle dudes, that paid his orphanage to breed him into a "Prince of Persia Trans Guy" and attack them, so they could #leech #off #His #Balls?

    Or would that just benefit the Dutch Eunuchs in the Background that pretend to be offended by an innocent Trans Orphan getting exploited, and then further pretend to only reluctantly receive His captured ball Kundalini Essence as their own new lifeforce for divination?

  9. Rare fossil reveals ancient leeches weren't bloodsuckers
    phys.org/news/2025-10-rare-fos

    The first #leech body fossil predates estimated hirudinidan origins by 200 million years: Danielle de Carle et al. peerj.com/articles/19962/

    "430 million years old, the #fossil includes a large tail sucker—still found in modern #leeches—along with a segmented, teardrop-shaped body. But one important feature isn't found in this fossil: the forward sucker that many of today's leeches use to pierce skin and draw blood"

  11. Just seen some great gothy aesthetic art on Tumblr. Was considering following the account. Then I noticed how it was very bursty in the way it posted (not queued and spaced out). And it was all new posts, not reblogs. And there was no credit to artists.
    Did a TinEye search for a dozen images and ONE showed up.
    So… they're now blocked and I un-reblogged the one post that I had reblogged, and unliked the few I'd liked.
    What kind of arsehole goes on Tumblr - the site of fandom nerds and artists - and posts FUCKING GEN AI IMAGES 😒
    Either a) put in the work to curate art and credit the artists or b) learn to make good art. Don't just post this fake crap.

  13. #colossaal #postrock #leech #switzerland

    Fast schon ein Privatkonzert. Nur ne handvoll Leute da. Die beinharten Matler fehlen alle. Wenn die wüsten, was sie gerade versäumen. 🤷‍♂️

  14. Isn't it just a shame that Metulsky Curse Revisited is the *first* track on 090208, which #LDC did with #Leech?

    Well, well, well...

    Oh hey look, it's *last* on #Stummfilm!

  15. First conclusive video evidence that a terrestrial #leech species can jump phys.org/news/2024-06-conclusi

    A jumping terrestrial leech from Madagascar onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10

    "this is the first convincing evidence that #leeches can jump and do so with visible energy expenditure... There have been previous accounts of leeches jumping, but those were often explained away as leeches just attaching to passerby as they brushed against shrubs or dropping from a branch. This study dispels that argument."

  17. 8. Hateful (#HEALTH, Album: Rat Wars)

    Industrial, der mir peinlicherweise erst von Spotify vorgeschlagen werden musste. Schwarz/Weiß. Hart. Böse. Schön. Tanzen.

    Highlight: ganz viele Lügen ab 3:10 und damit dann ab auf die Tanzfläche

    9. Pick a cloud (#Leech, Single)

    Postrock aus der Schweiz. Leech waren ein weiteres Highlight auf dem Gloomaar. Ihre 2023 veröffentlichte Single ist sehr catchy, gefällt mir sehr gut.

    Highlight: Augen zu, Postrock-Faust gestreckt und los geht's ab 1:30

  18. Hemiclepsis marginata - #leech , whole mount, cca 20 frames, 100x, pseudo-dark field

  19. @loren Here's one - a Tiger Leech. They can be quite pretty, despite being vampire slugs. Not the sharpest photo because it was climbing my boot 😂

  21. Shower thought: idly wondering about placing mutually attracting points on a 2D sphere in a stable configuration.

    Turns out this was solved by none else than John #Leech:

  22. Grass Leech
    These damn things don’t even need to lurk in water, and love nothing more than to mass together and latch onto sleeping travelers. They inject a lethargy inducing toxin into those they bite, and feed in peace before detaching once bloated

  23. In Chris Cheeseman & @ptkrysinski’s Canuxploitation creature feature MIND LEECH (2008), "smalltown sensibilities meet a chemically souped-up sanguisuge".
    Currently screening in Princess Cinemas, Waterloo, Ontario.

  24. Came across #DreamWife on #Radio6Music for the first time this eve on the drive home. Reminiscent of #ConfidenceMan and #YeahYeahYeahs with a more political punk dance edge. Thoroughly enjoying their new single #Leech. open.spotify.com/track/1Yv3haY
