Greg Tingle on Search Engine Journal's:

Google's Multitask Unified Model (MUM) algorithm is now capable of identifying when multiple high-quality sources agree on the same fact.

The idea has very solid merit in my view (opinion). The issues can come up when on a more increasing basis over the years the news, therefore the digital/online news has a more political and "left" or "right" slant to it. Look no further for an example than CNN not doing a balanced story on that laptop, or in the eco sector you have the eco scientists who state that climate change is real, and the other mob who state it is not real. So, what does one believe? Even when the world's experts in the same field can't agree. This sort of scenario can trickle into the fact check and news media sector, with or without the ripple effect of social media channels..So again, great idea and but knowledge, truth and facts is still based on opinion and one's perception of the world and one's ability to process the information. Then you have what is known as "legally tested", as in when evidence, facts and opinion is trialed in the legal system, and even then you can get a different result each time. It's also akin to The Matrix. Even Google got questioned etc by the European government, so as you can see it's quite the Pandora's Box and Rabbit Hole one you commence digging. Fortunately the vast majority find Search Engine Journal a most trustworthy and ethical source, so that's part of the foundation to start your research from. Now research Einstein's and Tesla's thoughts and quote of facts. This is big!

The guitar solo in "Inca Roads" was recorded live during a 1974 concert in Helsinki, Finland. The bulk of the album was recorded between December 1974 and April 1975 — during sessions which simultaneously produced the studio tracks on 'Bongo Fury'.

In my dating life, I more than once found myself on a date with someone who I remember quite fondly as an impressive set of ge****ls with a superfluous man attached.

Which reminds me of this sea monster.

Today’s Moment of Science… The mating ritual of the anglerfish.

In the bathypelagic zone between 1,000m and 4,000m below sea level where no light penetrates, existence treads at a consistent, chilling 4-5 degrees Celsius. A few hundred million years of complex species evolving in this watery hell has gifted life with new and amazing glowy things in the name of survival. Give or take three out of every four critters in the pelagic zone, i.e. the open ocean above the sea floor, is bioluminescent.

In the case of this dreamy nightmare, only the female anglerfish will help you see the light. Hanging over their head is a built-in fishing pole, or illicium, with a lure full of glowing bacteria at the end. This serves a few purposes; it both draws in prey and helps signal to males “I’m sixty times your size and I still have room for you on the side of my abdomen… fellas.”

Depending on the species, females can grow up to about a meter long, while males only get up to a few centimeters. When a male stumbles across a female in this abyss typically by following his well developed sense of smell to her pheromones, he does the only thing he possibly can; hangs on for dear life. With his teeth.

When the male bites, an enzyme is released that dissolves their skin, allowing them to fuse. Their circulatory systems merge, with the female’s diet now providing fuel for her lover/parasite. In some species, the female can support up to eight bo**ie calls at a time, continually supporting them to be ready whenever she’s in the mood to fertilize some deeply upsetting caviar. My band name.

“But Mrs. Auntie SciBabe,” I hear you wonder into the deep blue ocean, “how do two critters merge outside of a Cronenberg movie without some organ rejection shenanigans?”

Right you are to ask, but bet there’s shenanigans. Most species have immune systems that create T-cells, specially designed to recognize the difference between ‘you’ and ‘non-you’ cells. The genes responsible for making T-cells and functional antibodies are no longer active in the more, uh, slutty anglerfish species. Species that just attach to one mate had some of these genetic changes, and those that attach reversibly can still mount an antibody response.

Given that almost all vertebrates have this type of adaptive immunity, this is still a bit of a head scratcher. How is it surviving without being able to make T-cells? Apparently just fine, so what the f**k do we know?

Though no organs are rejected, not everything makes the cut. Males lose quite a bit of themselves in this most delicate of reproductive tradeoffs. The price for parasitism can mean being reduced to their most necessary bits, becoming little more than gills and testicles.

When contacted for comment, the male anglerfish said “don’t care, had sex.”

This has been your Moment of Science, suggesting that the next parody of Jordan Peterson utilizes the anglerfish in place of the lobster.

Slipknot is coming to SMITE - Another music x gaming crossover.

Traditionally music and larger pop culture connections have a track record of success. We can look to the Tomb Raider movie - game - merch connection, All Elite Wrestling with AEW Games with the likes of Chris Jericho (Fozzy and wrestling connection), Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 'Superman" (Goldfinger), Final Fantasy VI – Nobuo Uematsu, WWE 2K 18 -"Down With The Sickness" - Disturbed , and so it goes on. I like personalized features in games ala "Create A Character" getting away from the more cookie cutter templates. I'm interested to see in any of the Chance Thomas numbers make it into the latest version of the Avatar game. Interesting side note... for a few years the public buses in Sydney, Australia appear to have been running more advertising for video games than for movies, although over the past month the tide may have finally turned. Hope the audience sees some merit in my observations.

"Fuzzy dice / Bongos in the back..."
Released in 1969:
'Uncle Meat' [zappa.com/music/uncle-meat] is the soundtrack to a proposed film, the double album is described in the liner notes as "Most of the music from the Mothers' movie of the same name which we haven't got enough money to finish yet."
Uncle Meat has been highly acclaimed for its innovative recording and editing approaches. FZ utilized 12 track recording technology, as well as a variety of techniques to realize his vision, including a large number of overdubs, playing unconventional instruments through studio effects, and speeding up or slowing down recordings for artistic effect. Zappa wanted to make an album that would challenge the complacency of contemporary music fans, as he felt that his fanbase was "accustomed to accepting everything that was handed to them ... politically, musically, socially – everything. Somebody would just hand it to them and they wouldn't question it. It was my campaign in those days to do things that would shake people out of that complacency, or that ignorance and make them question things."
The album is official release #6. An expanded "Project/Object Audio Documentary" of the album entitled "Meat Light" was released in 2016.
