That's an excellent question, otherwise we'll end up with the whole lone alpha wolf meme nonsense again.

For example, this study talks about 'musth' when male elephants experience increased testosterone - perhaps that's what it's refering to. With a very quick Google search I couldn't find any general ranking of testosterone to body weight in animals.

Male elephants experience a biological phenomenon called “musth”, which is characterized by increased testosterone production, temporal gland secretion and urine dribbling, heightened aggression and sexual behavior, and therefore can pose unique challenges for human safety and animal welfare.

Anyone can swear, but I don't see why we need to have swear words in the news. Just because the biggly orange guy thinks it's appropriate to swear, doesn't mean we need to lower the standard in the press.

Just because he has no decorum doesn't mean everyone has to follow suit.

I'll be honest, I don't mind swearing on social media as I'm an adult but I don't think there's any need to swear in the news media.

I think its important that talking therapy was included too.

I browse bluesky, news.ycombinator.com, or try and read a book 😅

He's already taco'd out on the wall, tariffs, and now removing illegals ... Gotta distract 'em with some circuses.

I won't make any claims as to accuracy but I did enjoy the movie - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_Tonya

A 4x4 truck with its big wheels and high ground clearance are features that allow the truck to move off-road. These features have the unfortunate side effect of making them dangerous to other road users, and very uneconomical / environmentally unfriendly. They also take up a lot of space.

Work vans and most cars are capable of driving on a building site or track.

"Just inspected the site of the new Ballroom that will be built, compliments of a man known as Donald J. Trump, at the White House," he began in a post on Truth Social earlier this month.

"For 150 years, Presidents, and many others, have wanted a beautiful Ballroom, but it never got built because nobody previously had any knowledge or experience in doing such things — But I do, like maybe nobody else, and it will go up quickly, and be a wonderful addition, very much in keeping with the magnificent White House itself.

He is so fucking full of himself it's almost unbelievable. I'm sure this will turn out just as well as the wall that's being built and paid for by Mexico.

Ditto for YouTube. I always struggle to find my watch history and saved videos. And the fact search defaults to those stupid shorts.

I like to think it's because YouTube are trying to force new content on me, but it's probably partly just that I'm old.

Before in main image. After below there's still a bit to clear on face of the steps but I didn't do it yet. Also cleared a bunch of brambles from around the Pampas grass but there's loads to go.

 

The primary contractor for the Space Launch System rocket, Boeing, is preparing for the possibility that NASA cancels the long-running program.
On Friday, with less than an hour's notice, David Dutcher, Boeing's vice president and program manager for the SLS rocket, scheduled an all-hands meeting for the approximately 800 employees working on the program. The apparently scripted meeting lasted just six minutes, and Dutcher didn't take questions.

Here it comes, the big payoff. Elon's lost the Tesla EV subsidies but will instead get the NASA contacts

I'm not sure I remember the part where Indy is buried chest deep in sand with one fist defiantly raised ... It looks more like a character model glitched under the map!
