#Prehensile
Out now – my (very first!) Masters student’s (very first!) paper on #popgen of an endangered marsupial, the western ringtail possum (ngwayir in Noongar language). Using genomics of >400 possums, we found sig. spatial variation in genetic diversity, connectivity, and genomic vulnerability. (1/9)

Cute. Great display of the prehensile feet too. I like those little details.

Our first-ever prehensile-tailed porcupette is happily nibbling on a hibiscus flower, and clearly enjoying every bite. 🥰

Now she needs a name! Keepers have narrowed it down to Amora, Bristle or Bramble, and you get to choose. 💕 Vote now at PDZA.org. We’ll announce the winning name this Thursday!

The tail wrapping around that immense cock is a TOP TIER FUCKING CHOICE~! This is why prehensile tails ARE THE BEST

Tangential to this tangent, I am not ruling out Butlerian Jihad as a policy solution to AI-related concerns.

That solution is going to look more and more practical as the Torment Nexus dipshits running these frontier labs start hooking up Claude to strong, agile, prehensile robots.
Tangentially, this is another example of how misogyny (like all bigotry) makes people's brains smooth. Calling this a "false binary" gives it too much credence, there's no substance here beyond the misogyny.

If you think the AI pessimists are right, there are many other paths available, such as:

They're not even the same species. DK is a great ape. Diddy is a monkey. The prehensile tail is a dead giveaway.

Sexslin Fuxsly is the paramour of the Pirate Queen Granogra, and both runs and performs at the Blood-Kissed Rose nightclub. She hides a prehensile tail under her dress that is capable of aiming and firing a blaster with frightful accuracy. Her singing is said to be able to soothe a rancor.

Oh, you're one of these 'walking upright' types are you? What's wrong with a prehensile tail? Do you know exactly how many predators there are on the ground? How are you even going to reach the best fruit? 😡😡😡
