 AI Arteta - the 25/26 season will be ours!   Arsenal.... Arsenal.... Arsenal!

Almost all pufferfish contain tetrodotoxin, a substance that makes them foul tasting and often lethal to fish. To humans, tetrodotoxin is deadly, up to 1,200 times more poisonous than cyanide. There is enough toxin in one pufferfish to kill 30 adult humans, and there is no known antidote. Be careful all you dingdongs.

Crunchy.

The forefront is less terrifying than the AI generated background. There are three faces in this image. The pigeon foremost, the smiling smoke from the pigeon's cigarette (looking to left with mouth ajar), and lastly one more in the background. Notice in the upper top right corner of the image there is a rather grim looking face. The brown wall has been distorted and angled from the bottom right and pushed to the left.  This was not created by me, but rather AI's take on the subject matter. I am haunted.

Good friends, and all around amazing human beings. They are rare.

Let's celebrate gluttony for a moment. Gluttony is defined simply as an excess of anything. Cheers to this crazy whale.

"Pedro lives out of the Wilshire Hotel. He looks out a window without glass. And the walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet and his father beats him because he's too tired to beg. He's got 9 brothers and sisters, they're brought up on their knees. It's hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs. Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man but that's a slim chance, he's going to the boulevard. He's going to end up on the dirty boulevard. He's going out to the dirty boulevard. He's going down to the dirty boulevard. This room cost 2,000 dollars a month, you can believe it man, it's true somewhere a landlord's laughing till he wets his pants. No one dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything. They dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard. Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor - I'll piss on 'em. That's what the Statue of Bigotry says. Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to ...

Black widow spiders (Latrodectus spp.) are notorious for their venomous bite and distinctive appearance. Recognizable by their glossy black bodies and the iconic red hourglass marking on the underside of their abdomens, these spiders are found in temperate regions worldwide, often in dark, sheltered areas like woodpiles, sheds, and under rocks. Despite their fearsome reputation, black widows are generally non-aggressive and bite only in self-defense. Their venom contains neurotoxins that can cause muscle pain, cramps, and other symptoms in humans, though fatalities are extremely rare due to modern medical treatments. Female black widows are significantly larger than males and sometimes consume their mates after reproduction, a behavior that contributes to their infamous name.

Moths are drawn to light due to a phenomenon called positive phototaxis. This means they instinctively move toward light sources. The most widely accepted theory is that moths use natural light (like the moon) for navigation. They maintain a constant angle to the light source to fly in a straight line. However, artificial lights confuse them, causing them to spiral around or head straight into the source just like the rest of us...

 Yeah, this one will likely stir up some trouble.

Fire ants play a significant role in ecosystems by aerating the soil as they dig their tunnels, which improves water infiltration and nutrient cycling. They also help control populations of other insects, including agricultural pests, by preying on them. While often seen as a nuisance due to their painful stings and aggressive behavior, (I very much agree with this) fire ants contribute to biodiversity by serving as a food source for birds, reptiles, and other predators. 

We've all been there. No matter what your story is... live and learn (I usually don't bother) but their mostly good so be nice. You're likely worse and you know it.
