The workers live from 1-3 years. Their queen is already 3 years old and may live to be as old as 15.
Other species have longer lived queens. A keeper in the UK had a Lasius niger colony with a 30 year old queen.
In this video she enjoys drinking sugar water and sharing it with her sisters.
I saw her last week but this is her last video.
Not only was she one of the first ants to explore the new nest. She was also one of the first to enjoy their new second outworld. She helped her colony grow and I think that's what a good life is for an ant.

I agree google isn't immune, they are just better at it than DDG... and if DDG wanted to think about things to improve this would be on the top of my list.
Chess ant gamergates have to go to the nest of the enemy ant to become queens.
I suppose we could also call a queen from promotion a gamergate. It's not ant-centric but I will allow it.
This news has caused some people to ask why "women's chess" even exists -- women can compete in the open tournament. The women's competitions were a recognition of just how far behind chess is when it comes to cultivating and welcoming female players.
Not that shocking they are even more far behind when it comes to even knowing what that would mean. (Not trans women.)
But all this misses the bigger point. They don't want any trans people at all in the game.
I tried to draw them. I might do this one again.
Saw this old comic book cover... and ... had a reaction. "Monsters and Heroes #7"

Longtime Marion County Record journalist Joan Meyer, 98, died Saturday less than 24 hours after a police raid at her home.
Something is going down in Marion County. The police have raided the newspaper office and taken all the computers. A dedicated local journalist dies after a police raid?
That same paper's attempt to write about the DUI of a prominent restaurant owner may have caused the raid?
What is happening to our small towns?
What is your "happiest" four word story?

Tbh I think I might have it mixed up with another film or play that was based on it.
Have you seen the vintage looks from @luxus-aeterna@tumblr.com? nostr:npub13n0wvgltxu25a6qlrztllazh05tj5ka2q6eardm2ecqf00qstgpsre7vhc

I thought it was a pretty wholesome movie? Am I remembering it wrong?
One of us!
One of us!
ONE OF US!

On the dark web presumably... with literal vampires and ghouls.
In many parts of the US there is no where teens can hang out without spending money. My South Bronx neighborhood probably beats many cities, suburbs and small towns. (we have a skate park, and a larger park with benches-- though could use more options, for example a nicer library for kids who don't like noise)
In some towns libraries ban "teens congregating" playgrounds are out of bounds & groups of teens get the cops called on them.
This is the real reason young people don't go out anymore.

There is something wrong with you but I think the same thing is wrong with me.
Urge to put sensors on everything is ... hard to resist.
