How the global fish trade is spreading 'forever chemicals' around the world #AnimalRights
"They know how to eat methane,”

“We’re not creating something new.
We’re not teaching them to do something they don’t normally do.
They’ve evolved for a million years to do this.”

The team I've cheered my whole life failed once again to make it all the way through October (but they got close!). So while my neighbors would call it fish and chips, we're having what any self-respecting Brewers fan knows is called fish fry for Game 1 - it is Friday, after all. Go Jays Go!

Black shiny mollies and bright colored guppies,
Shy little angels as gentle as puppies,
Swimming and diving with scarcely a swish,
They were just some of my tropical fish.
Then I got mantas that sting in the water,
Deadly piranhas that itch for a slaughter,
Savage male betas that bite with a squish,
Now I have many less tropical fish.
If you think that
Fish are peaceful
That's an empty wish.
Just dump them together

To avoid turning into midnight munchies, small fish, often no bigger than pocket change, employ a frequently observed and clever strategy:
swimming inside a salp, a type of barrel-shaped, gelatinous marine animal.
Though salps don’t conceal the hitchhikers, their thin membranes can be enough to thwart attackers.
The fish don’t seem to mind sharing their sanctuary with one another:
in this image, three diminutive jacks pack inside a salp the size of a spice jar.
I'm not getting the appeal of mythological beings that are like a 2-in-1 deal e.g. centaur, minotaur, mermaid or griffin and so on.
BUT I find fish with human legs or birds with human arms funny beyond comparison! These combinations are far superior!

The ocean conservation world has lost a giant. Kristina Gjerde, known as the "mother of the high seas," spent two decades building the coalitions that led to the historic 2023 UN High Seas Treaty—protecting biodiversity in international waters for the first time.
Her work became urgent as industrial activities threatened deep-sea ecosystems. She was 68.

I wrote a story. It starts:
He woke up, looking forward to finally fishing. He’s retired, even though he feels like he could keep doing the work, and now, finally, he has the chance to go out on his boat, with a beer and his rod to catch something. Maybe if he catches enough he can fill the whole freezer set up in the basement. Fresh frozen fish for months.
The rest of it:
Been looking for a "new" 3DS XL for a month or so. These prices are insane. For reference, it was $200 brand new. I found a few that looked like they were ran over, thrown into the ocean, and swallowed by a fish for $200 . In good condition they're about $300-$350. That's crazy.

PSA about food labeling in the US
We have a gluten detection service dog because many things that should be gluten free/say they’re gluten free are not actually gluten free.
Stuff gets contaminated when growing (e.g. next to wheat field), by shared equipment, in factories, from packaging, during transport and in-store.
Every US consumer should know:
1. The list of ingredients on food isn't exhaustive
2. Allergen labeling:
a) limited to just some allergens
b) manufacturers don't actually have to test
c) "certified" foods are tested—but not continuously
d) testing only works with enough contamination
Some certifications may require batch-testing, but usually they don't.
A "certified gluten free" product may e.g. contain oats which sometimes are contaminated with gluten—but as not every batch is tested it's impossible to know unless you test yourself (hence the service dog).
Even if the product is properly batch-tested, you might get a part of the product that has the allergen in it, whereas the tested part didn't.
Or the threshold was too low (our dog can detect gluten better than any available lab testing equipment; yes, dogs are amazing).
Food products also contain ingredients that do not have to be included on the label when they're "incidental" (included in an another ingredient) or if they're considered part of the manufacturing process but not of the final product (e.g. various coatings on factory equipment).
Don't need to list flavors or specific spices either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As for allergens, only those responsible for ~90% of food allergies* have to be specifically declared, and they're not tested for as it's simply based on the ingredients list.
Good luck if you have other allergies.
