Someone was just telling me about water bears. Ze Frank is a hoot, and I recommend nearly any of his “True Facts…” videos. The more recent ones are better because the older ones were under the BuzzFeed umbrella

This video was made in collaboration with Benedikt Pleyer, who is a gifted microscopist and has a wonderful contagious passion for discovering the incredible worlds that exist all around us. He has introduced me to all sorts of new creatures and I am fortunate to have met him. http://www.instagram.com/nomadic_nostoc
Kita Williams reached out to me almost a year ago with her amazing Tardigrade footage, and I am so happy that she did. She has a knack for capturing these animals in way that gives them so much personality! http://www.twitter.com/SeaSpongeCake
Bob Goldstein runs a lab at UNC Chapel Hill and has done incredible work on the Tardigrade (and much more.) He was kind enough to review my work to make sure I didn’t screw the science up too much! I wish I could have included more of his work on the evolution of Tardigrades - but I hope to do that in a future episode on arthropods. https://goldsteinlab.weebly.com/

My dad taught me that baloney came from the knee of a Balon. He teased me with the high beams on the 1960 VW bug (which we called Irmtraud after a woman my mom knew in the air force) and it was known as “Bobby’s Blue Light”. He was always bringing home leftover lab things from Bell Labs and making use of them: my Tonka truck had a giant 20 volt battery and a tiny fluorescent light bulb. We built an arc welder out of a giant transformer which we took apart down to plates of steel, removed a tab, then hand wound. He helped me with my first engine swap by mostly leaving me alone to figure it out, occasionally coming out to point at a hose I missed. He liked “cured” baloney sandwiches that had aged in the glove box. He wasn’t too upset when I accidentally tossed a fishing pole overboard because the hook had gotten stuck in the anchor rope. He taught me about racism by explaining why gypped wasn’t a very nice word.
We didn’t have much to talk about in later years but I tell stories about him all the time.i love you, dad.

The great thing about the internet, YouTube in particular, is that when trying to explain some obscure bit of history, is that you can go and find a version of the original source.

Anyone on my friends list have a Sonos thing? I heard an interview with Brian Eno where he said he has a channel on there in which he has thousands of unreleased things. This interests me but I wonder if it would be worth it if that was the main reason I got one.

An actual “radical left” in the USA would probably nationalize oil fields so they could be shut down. We don’t really have a radical left.

I had this conversation with my mom almost 30 years ago. She stopped getting caffeinated sodas for the house and was amazed at the results.

Sortition is a word we should all know better. It wasn’t taught in my civics class, but it could be a way out of the partisan gridlock we know so well.

I guess somewhere between Bread and NiN a sense of … politeness? … was lost.

“Make It with You” is a song written by David Gates and originally recorded by the pop/rock group Bread, of which Gates was a member. The song first appeared on Bread’s 1970 album On the Waters. Released as a single in June 1970, it would become the group’s first top ten and only number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the U.S., spending the week of August 22, 1970, at the top spot.
The single reached number five on the UK Singles Chart. It was also certified gold by the RIAA for sales of over one million copies.
The song was well received by easy-listening stations at the beginning of the singer-songwriter driven soft rock era, reaching number four on the Billboard Easy Listening Top 40. The Supremes, Aretha Franklin, Earth, Wind & Fire, Dusty Springfield, Cilla Black, The Originals, The Main Ingredient, The Whispers, Marc Anthony, Teddy Pendergrass, Don Julian & The Larks, Let Loose, Dennis Brown, Andy Williams, Lou Donaldson, Tony Mottola, and Marc Cohn are amongst those who have recorded cover versions of the song.
It has also been recorded in other languages including Spanish, as “Quiero Hacerte El Amor” with a version by Blvd featuring M C Blvd being popular on the West Coast. Ralfi Pagan reached number 32 on the Billboard R&B chart during an eleven week run in the summer of 1971 with a Latin-soul version of the song, and also by Puerto Rican-American Spanish R&B group Barrio Boyzz in 1993 as “Cerca de Ti” (Close to You)
