Delayed leaving the gate in LA for over an hour and counting, putting my connecting flight to Pittsburgh in serious jeopardy. Glad all my travel problems are getting out of the way so soon. I expect #JMIH24 to go swimmingly whenever I get there.

I’ll be attending the JMIH meeting this year for the first time in a long while. I used to go every year. My last JMIH was in Chattanooga, if any old timers know when that one occurred.

Stingray feeding pits can create dramatic landscapes in shallow environments. Apparently, this habitat alteration does not affect macrobenthic diversity compared to nearby undisturbed areas. Interesting!

I once worked at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA during their Howl-O-Scream event. I was a scary clown! I had a scary clown dance, scary clown laugh, scary clown taunts. I had a blast and terrified more than a few guests.

I went to the Creed page (ugh, now the algorithm will think I like them) and the only options I see are to follow the band (barf), start playing Creed radio (absolutely not) or report them. Maybe I should report them to Spotify central command as a sucky band that I don’t want to listen to?

Is there a way to ban “artists” from appearing in a Spotify playlist? I don’t ever need to hear another Creed song. My life would be marginally better without Nickelback in it. Any way to purge “artists” like them from the algorithm?

I had forgotten that Clive Barker wrote the short story that Candyman is based on. Then I read "The Forbidden" from The Books of Blood: Volume 5 last night and I started yelling "Candyman, Candyman, CandyMAN!" when I realized what I was reading. Good stuff.

Sadly not an option. But, of course, I’m not in charge of this poll. When *I* ran a poll to name something for the museum, we named our Pacific Footballfish “Spiny Babycakes”.

Help us name the newest dino to be displayed at the NHMLA. It will be one of the featured attractions in the new building expansion for the museum, scheduled to open in the next few months. A few of us suggested naming it "Big Ass Dinosaur", but that didn't make the list for the poll.

The big one is that Himantolophidae do not have parasitic males as the article claims. The males are small and morphologically distinct, like other anglerfishes, but they are entirely free-swimming. Also, this would mark the 38th confirmed sighting, not the 31st.

Also, to clarify from the article: Himantolophus are not known to have parasitic males. The genus has entirely free-swimming males. They are still tiny, but they do not attach to females. Oh, and this would be the 38th confirmed record of a Pacific Footballfish, the first in Oregon!
