Just looking for an escape out the back door.

I’m … I’m … gorgeous! Photo: Shinji Sugiura/Kobe University At long last, science has confirmed what we have always known in our hearts to be true: There are two ways out of a frog.

A new study published this week in Current Biology, “Active Escape of Prey From Predator Vent Via the Digestive Tract,” by Shinji Sugiura, a biologist at Kobe University in Japan, focuses on the purgative exodus of a particular water scavenger beetle, Regimbartia attenuata, which, despite the obvious hardship of being swallowed alive by a frog, can soldier ably through several inches of frog gut and induce defecation to be extruded alive, active, and not much worse from the wear.

The tiny shiver of recognition you may be feeling is that of dawning awareness as you realize that, of course, you knew this already because you, like me, are Homo attenuatus — attenuated man , weakened, a scavenger flitting over the cruel face of the earth, currently entrapped by a cruel and nigh-unforeseeable fate — trying bravely to persist in pressing forward.

Do we dare to imagine that a brighter future may be coming? O, happy day! As I’ve always told you, there are two ways out of a frog. Until our deliverance is at last at hand, let us persevere through inch after inch of intestinal darkness, and, when the blessed moment is at hand, remember what is demanded of us. Tickle, tickle!

As Trump trails Biden, 2020 aide pressed on broken jobs pledge, Obama-Biden economyTrump 2020 Campaign Adviser Steve Cortes faces a probing interview from MSNBC anchor Ari Melber over Trump’s failure to keep his 2016 campaign pledges on the coal industry and jobs. Pressed to provide factual answers on the economy, Cortes says he does not want to play “quiz show,” and Melber walks through economic data showing Trump has not overseen a net gain in coal jobs nor come close to the new jobs created during the Obama administration, even before the pandemic recession. Melber also asks Cortes to address public comments he made about whether Trump should be a little bit “more fascist.” AriMelber This guy can not be our President the country will be left in ashes AriMelber Perhaps it is more difficult to add jobs at 49-year low unemployment and first time there was more open positions than unemployed?
