All things in moderation. Even the divine may overwhelm if taken in excess.

@apLundell

Between this, the cheese, and calling the place Monticello I'm starting to think Jefferson was some kind of... weeb but for Italy?

@SFFMagazineCovers

thank god they had helmets that could fit (and show of) that helmet hair the lady in the back has.

@stevenaleach

We must dive the Potomac, find the mummified rind of the cheese and destroy it to free the country from the terrible curse.

@nazokiyoubinbou @darkling @catmisgivings

I wonder if it was a product of the clipped high diction of "radio voice" where everything was said with a kind of clarity that was meant to overcome static?

I link to this photo of their nest every chance I get.

Attached: 1 image I'm despertly reading every paper I can find that mentions Dorymyrmex bureni because I'm baffled by what I'm seeing with these ants. I ran into this classic paper. I've always remembered that winter ants have the deepest nests, but look whose nest is the second deepest! The dorries! 1/ https://www.bio.fsu.edu/~tschink/publications/2015-beauty.pdf

More like "odd mega-polycules"

"including two species of #spiders that had previously been thought to be hostile to each other."

It Begins!

@alexwild

They look so unassuming and boring, but their nests are among the deepest documented, especially for their size... and they live in NYC. Right on Park Ave.

although... it was cheddar, bland American cheddar.

You see! It's infectious! Insidious.

The secret dark "American Dream"

On the surface? It sounds charming, right? Harmless. But think again.

No one said "this is too much cheese, this is unseemly, cut it out" they just... went along with it.

Munched on it for months!

No one could question it.

And this is the root of the evil in the soul of this country. We are haunted by the specter of men who'd call their mansion something absurd and needlessly fancy like "Monticello" but then have a big cheese and think it's fine.

And that is my history for the day.

There is something deeply wrong with this country and I think I've found the source. A totem, a moment, and artifact that has poisoned the American psyche since our nation's inception.

I speak of course of "The Mammoth Cheese of Thomas Jefferson."

Basically this "founding father" had a big mansion called Monticello and in it, for a time, he had a big wheel of cheese someone gave to him. It was 1200 lbs. He had a room for it. Made people go look at it.

You had to "view the great cheese"

@ai6yr

... is that a heat gun?

@Szescstopni

Ya'll always take *her* side. Every single time.

@hoco

Brother I am not taking this thing off again until I replace it. Putting it on was too hard. Poor kitty will need to make do with... IDK I will run the hoover over the thing a few times.

@darkling @catmisgivings

I like the way both of them say "robits" ... this seems to be going away. But it was common in US English a generation ago.

In my ongoing effort to make our apartment nicer I bought a green couch cover. It was hard to put on but really makes the room feel fresh.

As soon as I was done #PicaTheCat the cat entered. Sat down two inches from the cover looking up at the couch and started... mourning?

She's so upset. She HATES it.

My husbands said "you erased her database"

Well.

Also they provide calming videos of ants to watch as you listen.
