Yep. This is their normal aspect. The ribbon species is named the "Venus belt", and the round ones are called "Sea grapes" or something like that.

And they are nor just bioluminiscent, they are strongly bioluminiscent. Cilia adds motion to the spectacle and maybe can change its color, but they definitely can turn on and off the lights. The cilia pads are used mostly for movement.

Many of this animals live in places without much light and do a vertical migration at night, each night. All are carnivores of small preys and is assumed also that they use light to lure its preys near their sticky longlines. Very abundant and probably one of the zoological groups were we could still find suddenly thousands of news species, but studying them is a nightmare. They literally melt when manipulated or in the microscope. At the sea, if they are cut the biggest chunks can regrow a whole body.

Its chemical lights can be used by us to detect toxics in the water. They react to contaminants making the luminiscence much brighter. Just as if they were alarmed and trying to warn other.

I wonder just now, if there is a hidden language there, like with bees dancing to communicate with other bees. Who knows. The problem is that they don't have eyes (If I remember correctly) so would need some other mechanism to see the lights. Maybe chemical.

Is a good example of how trying to equal how other animals experience the world with our experience is a mistake. Imagine seeing light with your tongue. This animals could even not be aware that they are bioluminiscent.

There are other four species of Leopardus in Bolivia if I'm not wrong, and some had several subspecies. Many tiny, highly arboreal and nocturnal so no easy at all to catch or study. This animal was raised as pet since cub so is much easier to take samples. It could be the one animal in their species, ever, as an hybrid abandoned by its mother. Many oaks and willows do that trick routinely.

That said in 2020 there was an article proposing to split Leopardus colocolo in other 3 to 5. This article worked on the proposal, validating four new species more with L. tilcayo that was closer to L. tigrinus. National Geographic (as in other cases) embellished the history a little. Five new species of cats were disclosed, and four were described previously inside a species complex.

> in 2024, ctenophores became the third group of animals known to have the Benjamin Button–like ability, joining the ranks of the “immortal jellyfish,

Yaay!. Pretty cool. Hydrozoans and Ctenophora. Who is the other group of immortal animals? let me check

Oh, Scyphozoans of course.

Some animals will survive us after all.

Would be a wasted effort, as there are other species that are not endangered (And with just a male known breeding them would be a defy).

Bengal cats, an hybrid of an asian species and domestic cats, are commercially breed filling that niche. They are expensive and forbidden by law in some countries. If you, as me, desire badly to grab one and scratch its belly, don't check in internet Prionailurus rubiginosus.

--------------

Claiming that this is the first new cat discovered in 100 years is strange, as we have the proposal to split Leopardus colocolo into other three to five species in 2020. Until 2020 there were seven extant species of Leopardus with many subspecies. Some of those are being slowly raised to species. Maybe this is an hybrid?

All Leopardus except the ocelote are endemic of Latin America and many are endemic of Los Andes. USA has the ocelote and some day could have the smaller Margay also.

Foux da fa faa...

Trump should have a street named after him in Moscow. Any Russian asset, historical or present, achieving a tenth of what he has done would had been granted legendary status in Russia. If he is not a Russian asset texting Putin in the middle of the night, then is the most useful tool in the human history.

The seeds of this decline were planted by Reagan (Heritage foundation was not created yesterday) but nobody before has achieved this level of damage inflicted upon USA in so few months. Is impressive if we think about if.

Ok. Everybody knew that. The first war crimes were free. Now what?

Vote me again so I can keep bombing more girls tomorrow?

Without action this is just a barely veiled attempt to appease the furious voters just before an election. All talk, no real will to fix this mess.

> the cable thing was an anchor accident,

Only the first 99 passes over the cables were accidental, then the anchor grabbed the two cables finally

US biggest existential crisis is the fact that the opposition is always a monopoly.

So either you have a massive win, or a party will block the other forever out of spite, nothing can be accomplished and no mistake can be fixed. With more opposition groups the situation would change for good ("You don't want to make a deal with me, I will ask the third and fourth parties. The first team doing a reasonable move gets the prize").

Feel free to complete the cite for us, to add comments over it, or to provide any proof that him saying that is fake.

> dont remember seeing Lavrov delivering a declaration of war

Mr "Lithuania Will Disappear From the World Map" has not been so shy on this aspect

"Dmitry Medvedev on Feb. 18 threatened to use nuclear weapons against the U.S., the U.K., Germany, and Ukraine if Moscow loses all occupied Ukrainian territories".

Economical damage caused by temporary chaos is still damage.

Forcing delays on European trains in special days when a huge number of travelers are expected is the oldest trick in the book. It has been exploited for years and years.

1) That would need many people in different places doing the same question to a LLM at the same time, and them deciding to commit acts of sabotage that can't be linked to their demands as farmers, are very risky for the authors and don't bring the slightest benefit to their cause.

The only way the risk to end in jail by reckless homicide would worth the effort, is that they would had been paid for this work.

And 2) we have a much simpler explanation: Infiltrated leaders organized to direct the masses as sheep.

We had seen this in the Capitol assault (Do you remember the girl trying to sell that laptop stolen in the Capitol to Russian spies?), and in Ceuta (Moroccan police videotaped leading the immigrants), and in Barcelona ("professional rioters" experts on urban warfare coming from Germany for no reason), and every single time this things happen.

And, again, this acts require precise training, skills and moves that normal people never even achieve, but can be found in spades at FSB (or CIA, or Mossad). This farmers seem the only people in the planet so lucky as to arrange everything right at the first attempt. Every tiny detail. Zero mistakes. They should be hired to make software.

I will keep the simpler explanation.

At this point, a p-value is more than enough.

Each time Russia is suffering troubles in the war, this events happen; and they happen in clusters. A few models are recycled again and again and adapted to each country. Sabotage to railways and wildfires "caused by climate change" are two of the most popular. Another is sending people to protest and cause trouble in the streets with any excuse, supported by campaigns of disinformation online from some IP in Russian soil. Another was Russia caught cutting marine internet cables. We even may suspect that the lone wolf driving over people or backstabbing people in the streets is another.

Just last week, Ukraine killed two more Russian generals and a colonel. Losing 13 major generals, admirals and lieutenants and more than 42 colonels [1] is not a minor issue in any war. Ukraine also hit again a big refinery to the point of Trump asking Zelensky "stop doing that to refineries". "You are making my friend cry" is implicit. Ukraine is also slowly pushing back Russians in some front lines

Putin can keep doing chest thumping and faking strength in public, but the facts point to that Russia is not doing as well in the war as he would wish.

You may have noticed the huge increase in Russian provocations to NATO lately. Putin risk to be assassinated by his own generals increases with each general killed. He needs to redirect the angry towards an external target, and is desperate for a NATO move that would justify him (legally and in the eyes of Russians people) to start a major mobilization soon after the Russian elections that start in two days.

So expect more events like those in Europe in the next days, and maybe some dumb move of Trump to destroy another good thing in US, with the clock ticking before he turns into a burnt out asset.

Because we had seen the same old tricks a thousand times before.

Nobody wakes up some day saying I know exactly how to stop a train without being caught. Or: I know exactly were to cut to enter in this restricted area that normal people never had heard about it just to steal a few copper cable here and there (or worse, fiber optic cable)

Random actions are truly random. This acts aren't random. They need instead planning, precise knowledge that is not available to most people, and direction to coordinate them in several locations at the same time

Why all this farmers know so much about how to sabotage trains suddenly?

How many Journalists were killed by Israel in Gaza in the last years?

Old German politicians had many opportunities to say something about the genocide. They decided to support Israel instead and (maybe) this choice played some part in their demise. They miscalculated how angry was the people and basically fired themselves. Should know better after seeing the Democrats fall in the same trap.

When you are surrounded only by people that says "I don't care" every single time, you may forget that those aren't the people that you have to convince that "you care".

Those aren't the first trains that had problems in Europe recently. Spain has been plagued with thousands of Train delays, cable stolen before a holiday, sabotages and rocks in the railway are also very popular. Russians are obsessed with trains, and the Kremlin even tried to buy the main Spanish train maker disguised as Hungarians, before to be blocked by the Spanish government.

About rogue farmers protest in France... well, exactly the same problem. They are always agitated by far right agents in special moments, and when people scratch a little, this people always are seen taking selfies and money from people associated with Putin. Farmers still didn't understood that are being used every single time, often again their own interests. See the Yellow Jackets movement for example.

Where have all the entomologists gone should be the interesting question.

Just because a sample does not find insects does not mean that you can't keep sampling. Plenty of insects if you stop mowing the law for a while. The real problem is that people has become blind about it. Decline of entomologists lead to a perception that there aren't insects anymore. Pale children collecting pokemon in a dark room is "good", children out collecting insects is "bad". This is (gasp) animal cruelty!, the new religion. We punished curiosity, so nobody cares. Nobody young seems interested on entomology anymore.

> There is no EU law mandating permanent, non-disableable cameras

Too late for that, see the new laws for new cars.

My guess is lobbies buying the political leaders.

You drive an used car from 2016, that is much easier.

[delayed]

Erythema ab igne is a skin condition that can be caused by resting a laptop computer on the thigh or belly and using it for a while.

As CPU and GPU can heat at 40 or 50º Celsius, it will produce a burn in the skin that is painless and not always cause a color change, so it may go unnoticed. If the situation continues it can produce a permanent scar, and eventually evolve to skin cancer.

AI is a problem only now where the people in power or their families are at risk of being assassinated. AI assisted drones were not a problem at all when they were sent for years to kill everybody in weddings at some obscure Asian country. None of this researchers were complaining then.

-----------------------

Is obvious that Trump fears an AI assisted killer droid attack. Change of hair tone (obviously to make any automatic face match more difficult, and confuse any long-distance shooter), thick plastic screens seen behind him at rallies to stop drones and shooters. A cavalcade of black limousines in the road with a Trump impersonator trying his best effort to be noticed... (Why would you travel in a bullet-proof vehicle with the bullet-proof window opened? the only logical explanation is trying to lure out any hitman hiding in the location).

He looks much less smug; is reducing his Chiquito de la Calzada impersonations [1], and adopting a lower profile, maybe also fearing the post-midterms. His social truth posts are filled with images of him with radioactive fire balls in his hands and traveling in planes and garbage trucks. Asking for a ride out of US, Trump?

The risk of some disruptive event in the next 60 days is greater than ever in US history. It does not need to be assisted by AI. NS (natural stupidity) is more than enough. I'm particularly concerned by the triad: Lincoln bathroom + UCF fight + distracting pool.

I don't see how this could be stopped unless every country agrees to sign treatises and follow international laws of war. Sadly this can't happen until a few old men and war criminals are jailed or die of old age. Nobody respect treatises anymore.

These men will block or delay the climate actions until is too late. Will send their army to kill left and right, will remove anti famine measures just by spite, killing thousands. They will do anything to save themselves from jail, or to earn one million more.

These men, not AI, are the real problem. But they rarely exit their bunkers nowadays. They know.

Octopuses are not people. Young octopuses are food, not scholars

There is a firm definition of species that works most of the time, but has been expanded with a lot of complexity and exceptions like rings of species for example.

In short if two animals can mate and produce fertile offspring similar to the parents, they are in the same species,

This means that all extant humans are in the same species (even if some are hybrids and some were isolated for a lot of time. Even if they never want to mate by religious reasons, geography or personal preferences)

Of course things can get messed fast. A tomato with a codfish genus included by humans to stand frost, is not a codmato suddently.

Could be as there are bloodsuckers also in the sea, but my bet would be Batesian mimicry.

Many dangerous animals have stripes. Some similar species of octopuses are known to master moves an patterns mimicking sea snakes and lionfishes.

Extra warm waters maybe. A lot of animals seem to be acting strange in the last years.
