I was having a bit of a clear out and found one of Littlest’s jumpers that I’d kept for a memory box.
I thought “You know what? I could crochet a bear and have it wear the jumper. Wouldn’t that be cute?”
Let me tell you that no, it would not be “cute”. It would be a human child sized rat-bear that looks like it should be in Coraline. I know this because it lives with us now.
Brown bear cubs climb a pine tree in Martinselkonen Nature Reserve, Finland. The four-month-old siblings climbed the tree to avoid another bigger bear and stayed there for several hours. They came down only once they heard their mother’s call
The Japanese government is planning to trial an artificial intelligence system for spotting wild bears to better deal with an increasing number of attacks by the animals on humans, a government source said Monday. Under the system, AI will use security camera footage to instantly detect bears and share the information with the...
TIL:
Because of climate crisis, polar bears are migrating as their environments are melting.
They're encountering grizzly bears, and the two are mating - creating a polar-grizzly bear hybrid called either a Grolar or a Pizzly bear (depending on which parent is which).
Grolar and Pizzly bears are SUPER aggressive, and Pizzly bears are fertile.
@RacerX I have zero confidence that the Bears front office is capable of making the right personnel moves to ensure Caleb Williams is able to be effective. Nothing has changed since they signed Justin Fields.
Nothing will change until the McCaskeys sell the team. They've proven to be completely inept at running a sports franchise.
Huh, the new Bears proposal for a stadium is... wildly different than I expected :otter_peek: I really like what the renders did with the old Soldier Field columns (and frankly, the UFO they landed inside of it was always a massively ugly waste of money). I feel mostly ambivalent on the proposal I think, provided taxpayers aren't on the hook for it.
If this proposal actually happens, civic leaders from the south side really should lobby hard for the CTA to revisit the Gold Line proposal to take part of the existing Metra electric right-of-way and turn it into a rapid transit corridor. If the city really wants to revitalize the lakefront and drive tourism, they should focus on increasing access between the lakefront parks (the stupid bean/Millennium Park, Grant Park, etc), the Museum Campus (the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Planetarium, Soldier Field), McCormick Place, and Jackson Park (the Museum of Science and Industry and the new Barack Obama Presidential Library). Plus the Gold Line could be used to bring a valuable link for south lake shore communities between the Loop all the way down to South Chicago. :vg_puro_shrug: Seems like a win/win to me.
Side note: Also, boost the Green Line back to Jackson Park like it used to be :neofox_what: It'd make for a great transfer point for people between the Gold Line and the Green Line.
