Just checked a globe. Moscow to Anchorage goes pretty much exactly through Murmansk and the North Pole. Surprisingly similar distance as DC to Anchorage, slightly longer.

DYK there used to be an arctic penguin

Then when they got to the antarctic, they said hey they’re here too! That’s how the penguin got its name. But they weren’t related.

- Comment on Why is land/sky so cleanly split between mammals/birds? 2 weeks ago:
Different medium means vastly different things with be chosen for. Same with water based animals. It comes down to base physics of how to live and what’s advantageous evolutionary. The obvious one for birds is they need to be light weight to fly. That’s extremely limiting. Land based has a ton of options. Water based needs a ton of fat for insulation, can be heavier because of buoyancy.

It’s projection. It never made sense to me until I realized it’s all projection. They think gay people are going door to door exactly like they do.
They go door to door saying “Have you found Christianity? I’ve chosen to be Christian and I think it’s a great way of life. I think you should choose to be Christian, I think you should raise your children to be Christian, I think we should have a Christian society.”
So they just assume everyone else is going door to door “Have you found gayness? I’ve chosen to be gay and I think it’s a great way of life. I think you should choose to be gay, I think you should raise your children to be gay, I think we should have a gay society.”
Which to us is as ridiculous as going door to door “Have you found left handedness? I’ve chosen to be left handed and I think it’s a great way of life. I think you should choose to be left handed, I think you should raise your children to be left handed, I think we should have a left handed society.”

- Comment on TIL that Eurasian brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) is the bearest of all bears – "ursus" means bear, and "arctos" also means bear, so the scientific name translates to "Bear bear bear" 3 weeks ago:
Globally, the largest population is found east of the Ural mountain range, in the large Siberian forests; brown bears are also present in smaller numbers in parts of central Asia.
The largest brown bear population in Europe is in Russia, where it has now recovered from an all-time low caused by intensive hunting. Populations in Baltoscandia are similarly, albeit slowly, increasing. They include almost 3,000 bears in Sweden, 2,000 in Finland, 1,100 in Estonia[26] and around 100 in Norway.
Large populations can also be found in Romania (around 6,000), Slovakia (around 2,500), Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia (1,200), Slovenia (1,100),[27] North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Poland, Turkey (around 4,000),[28] and Georgia.
Small but still significant populations can also be found in Albania, Greece, Serbia and Montenegro.[29] In 2005, there were an estimated 200 in Ukraine; these populations are part of two distinct metapopulations: the Carpathian with over 5000 individuals, and the Dinaric-Pindos (Balkans) with around 3000 individuals.[30]
There is a small but growing population (at least 70 bears)[31] in the Pyrenees, on the border between Spain and France, which was once on the edge of extinction,[32] as well as two subpopulations in the Cantabrian Mountains in Spain (amounting to around 250 individuals).[33] There are also populations totalling around 100 bears in the Abruzzo, South Tyrol and Trentino regions of Italy.[34] Bears from the aforementioned Italian regions occasionally cross over to bordering Switzerland,[35][36][37] which has not hosted a native population since its last bear was shot and killed in Graubünden in 1904.[38]
Outside Europe and Russia/the CIS, clades of brown bear persist in small, isolated, and for the most part highly threatened populations in Iran,[39] Afghanistan, Pakistan, parts of northwest India and central China, and on the island of Hokkaido in Japan.[40][41]
