"Longhorn beetles belong to the family Cerambycidae and derive their name from their long antennae. Most longhorn beetle eggs are laid under pieces of bark. Their larvae feed inside the wood of dead and dying trees, including roots, trunks, and branches. Larvae first feed on the cambium (new growth layer under the bark) before boring deeper into the wood. Most species only attack trees that are weakened by disease, drought, or fire. But some species, such as the Asian longhorn beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis Motschulsky, 1853), which has invaded northeastern North America, can attack the healthy trees of many species. The intricate patterns on the elytra (wings) of many species help them to blend in with the bark of the trees on which they feed.

🚀🎮 "Revolutionary" newsflash: Q-learning is still gasping for air while the rest of AI freely dances around with scalable glory. Apparently, the memo didn't reach Park at UC Berkeley, who is still lost in some time-travel paradox from 2025. 🤖📉

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear – not absence of fear." -- Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson

Sickened by the cuts to the #MarkTwainPapers at #UCBerkeley. I spent a lot of time there as a graduate student while working on my thesis. It's a gem.

I’m the daughter of an immigrant, born and raised in SoCal, educated at #Berkeley — and in 2025, I’ve never felt more proud to say those words out loud.

If 2025 has proven anything - it takes a little more than some fire to take down the #LosAngeles spirit.

"Bees, wasps, and ants all belong to the order Hymenoptera, meaning membranous wings. Most honey bees, yellowjacket wasps, and ants are social species. These insects live in societies with overlapping generations and complex visual and chemical communication systems. For example, honey bees do a “waggle dance” to communicate the distance, direction, and quality of nectar and pollen resources. Most bees, however, are solitary. They provision each egg with just enough pollen and nectar to grow to adulthood, and then fly away forever. When foraging among flowers, bees accidentally drop pollen, which pollinates the plant. Nearly 4,400 different species of bees inhabit North America, and more than 20,000 species of bees exist worldwide.

Today in Labor History May 15, 1969: Police fought students in the Battle for People's Park at the University of California Berkeley, California. The battle was over a small strip of land that the students had claimed as community commons. Governor Ronald Reagan sent in National Guards to reclaim the Park. Police gunfire killed a bystander, James Rector, and wounded 60 others, including Alan Blanchard, who was blinded for life. Street fighting continued for 17 days. Another 150 demonstrators would be shot and wounded. The battle for the park has continued ever since, with the university continuing to claim ownership and threatening to turn the park into everything from units of student housing to a parking lot. The defenders of the park have done numerous direct actions over the past 50 years to defend the park, provide mutual aid, provide free food and clothes to unhoused folks, and offer community classes. As recently as 2024, the cops have attacked, beaten, and/or arrested park defenders.

The regime launched an investigation into the University of California, Berkeley, on Friday
centered on foreign funding,
making it the latest university to be targeted by the federal government.

The investigation revives criticism from several years ago about the university’s partnership with China’s Tsinghua University.

It comes after Donald Trump earlier this week signed a series of executive orders focused on universities that he views as liberal adversaries to his political agenda.

One order called for harder enforcement of Section 117,
a federal law requiring colleges to disclose foreign gifts and contracts valued at $250,000 or more.

The Department of Education’s office of general counsel will investigate “UC Berkeley’s apparent failure to fully and accurately disclose significant funding received from foreign sources,” education secretary Linda McMahon said in a statement.

UC Berkeley denied the government’s claims, saying that for the last two years,
“UC Berkeley has been cooperating with federal inquiries regarding 117 reporting issues, and will continue to do so

#Drumpf admin targeting of top universities does not spare #UCBerkeley whose #CalBear has been poked and probed by the President's fave pro wrestling doyenne now also in charge of the Dept of #Education.

Linda McMahon's #RWNJ minions have put the top #WestCoast public #university and research center under heat lamp of scrutiny for taking in hundreds of millions in donor dollars linked to foreign governments including #China, and a supposed culture of Title VI #discrimination against white and Jewish students. The President has personally targeted and threatened defunding the top tier #college for years, dating back to his first term.

Not only has the #campus been accused of the #CampusAntiSemitism trope but are dealing with 117 total issues laid out by federal authorities now seeking to #defund the public institution.
