What's the difference between and ABC brownbear and a Grizzly?

hi, thanks for asking!

grizzly bears are a subspecies of brown bears! kodiak bears and european brown bears are also subspecies. "brown bear" is a broader category that includes several subspecies. geographical separation and location is the largest factor in determining the differences between subspecies of brown bear.

grizzly bears are one of the largest subspecies of brown bear (kodiak bears are the largest)! they live in north america and don't typically have access to as many coastal food sources as kodiak bears do, which means that they're usually smaller in size. while kodiak bears are coastal and have access to fatty salmon, grizzly bears live inland and rely more heavily on plant life and insects that they forage.

above is a diagram that illustrates the size difference. from left to right - black bear, grizzly bear, kodiak bear, and polar bear.

grizzlies live in alpine meadows, forests, and valleys. their fur has a 'grizzled' appearance - with darker roots and lighter tips - hence their name.

I painted a book box I've had for a very long time. It may not be to the same standard as Rick Perry and the art department, but I'm proud of it

@quiddie please enjoy your and Lou's legacy ;)

Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone National Park, September 2023

The striking colors of Grand Prismatic spring come from thermophile bacteria that thrive on the heat around the edges of the pool. The colors are so vivid, they are often reflected in the steam.

October seventh hasn't ended.

And I don't mean the traumatized headspace many of us have been since then. I mean the literal attack.

October seventh continues with every rocket launched towards Israel. October seventh continues with the fire in the north. October seventh continues with each day the hostages aren't free.

October seventh is also in the diaspora. October seventh continued when Paul Kessler was killed. October seventh continued when Benjamin Harouni was killed. October seventh continued with the cases of rape in France. October seventh continued with the "day of rage" and Nova riot in New York. October seventh continued with the pogrom in LA. October seventh continued with the campus violence.

The initial, catalyst attack of October seventh may have ended, but the aftershocks are still shaking each of our lives.

Each chant for "globalizing the intifada" and the erasure of Israel from the world is a continuation of October seventh. Each instance of violence and hostility against the diaspora is a continuation of October seventh.

October seventh was meant to destroy us, and they haven't stopped trying. In spite of this, we will outlive them. This is nothing new and we have survived this before.

Am Yisrael Chai, now and forever.

David Tennant saying he wants a black woman politician to "shut up" and not exist anymore because she believes in the reality of biological science.

He said this during his acceptance speech at some Alphabet Soup award event. The entire video is below. Prepare yourself for a steaming pile of bullshit.

He was referring to Kemi Badenoch. She's the Minister for Women and Equalities of the United Kingdom. She's stated that the UK must accept the Cass Review, that men cosplaying as women should not be allowed to be naked in front of little girls in locker rooms, changing rooms, and in female sports.

Of course Tennant has now become extra famous for Good Omens, and has fully embraced the TQ+ community because they've made him even richer than he was as Doctor Who. So he's effectively turned on anyone who says there are only two sexes, including JK Rowling, in whose work he got a part when he was pretty much unknown in the U.S.

After this speech became known . . .

There's a helluva backlash, as this post shows.

As a reminder for those who are gaga over Gaiman for Good Omens, the man from Menominee wrote Snow, Glass, Apples, in which a 6 year old is raped by a monk, and later she's necrophiliacly raped by an adult man. But she's some sort of vampire, so that's OK, innit?
