So, after 29 years of being 'online' I can now say that the general idea that all people really needed was access to information was false. It turns out education is required to make appropriate *use* of information. ?????! Who could have predicted this?!

I mean, I know they're not plants... but it's the same question I've had about "collecting" vs. "hunting" shellfish, say.

Participated in my first mushrooming activity this past weekend (très late 40s, I know) which brought up a question about forager adaptations I've had before: what is it about mushrooms in English that sometimes makes them worthy of "hunting" as opposed to just "picking" or "collecting"?

Biggest drawback of teaching in a French-language university: the "I have concepts of a plan" jokes just won't land the same chez nous tomorrow.

OKAY so Moo Deng is a new baby pygmy hippo at a zoo in Thailand She looks like braised pork so the public voted to name her Moo Deng, which is a pork dish. She is perfect and every picture of her is a mood.
