Orchard blossoms make for such great early bee foraging! This yellow-faced bumble bee queen would’ve recently awoken from her solitary winter hibernation underground. Too cool for her to fly today, but she’s bumbling around the plum blossoms happily 🐝🌸

.jibbierubie: Actually, my position was as a personal makeup artist, I was in charge of doing Nong Mook’s makeup only. They would send out a list by episode showing who would do makeup for whom. At that time, I had to do a traditional Thai dancer look for her, which was such a big transformation because before that I had done her makeup as #LISA from BP. I was really happy that she chose me, trusted me, and relied on me to do her makeup. Q: Can you share a memorable moment with Lisa? Jib: She’s the kind of person that, after spending some time with her, you almost forget she’s Lisa from BP. She’s so sweet like just her walking into the room makes the world feel brighter. Her smile, her voice, everything. And it’s not just me who feels that way whenever she walks onto the set, everyone there lights up too. She has such positive energy it’s fun to be around her. We’d finish work and then she’d be like, “Shall we go eat this or that?” It felt like living life together for a while. She’s super down-to-earth. For me, it felt like I was doing makeup for this adorable, stunning, and genuinely kind women. She always cares about people around her, like asking, “Do you want to eat this? Do you want that? Shall we go here?” Even on days when we worked so hard and were exhausted, the next day she’d still suggest, “Shall we go to the spa together?” Q: Had you worked with Lisa before? Jib: Yes, I had. I worked with her before on some LLOUD promotional events for the label, then for her events in Thailand, her birthday, and also the end-of-year event at Iconsiam. 🔗 c/o cherry_bb1 trans JUSTCALLMENINGG

Learned something about Bees Today. A male bee mates for less than 5 seconds in midair. The ejaculation is so explosive you can hear it pop from a few feet away. His body rips in half. He falls dead before hitting the ground. And he is one of the lucky males in the hive. When a male bee, called a drone, chases down a queen mid-flight at speeds of 22 miles per hour, his entire reproductive organ turns inside out. The pressure required for this comes from nearly all the blood in his body, which rushes downward to force the organ outward like a spring. The semen fires into the queen with so much force it makes the audible pop. The organ then snaps off and stays lodged inside her like a cork. As he flips backward off her body, his abdomen rips open. The next drone waiting his turn has to physically yank out the dead male's cork before he can mate. The same thing then happens to him. The queen does this 12 to 20 times in a single afternoon. She flies up to a spot in the sky that beekeepers call a drone congregation area. Picture an invisible meeting point about 50 to 130 feet above the ground where up to 11,000 male bees from as many as 240 different hives are hovering, waiting for her. These spots stay in the exact same locations year after year, sometimes for over a decade. No one fully understands how brand new drones, born only weeks earlier, find them. By the end of her mating run, the queen has collected around 100 million sperm cells. She keeps only 5 to 6 million in a tiny internal storage organ that keeps them alive for years. From that supply, she uses just two sperm cells per egg for the rest of her life, laying up to 2,000 eggs a day for 2 to 7 years. After that one afternoon in the sky, she will never mate again. A 2019 study from UC Riverside, the University of Copenhagen, and the University of Western Australia found that bee semen contains toxic proteins that temporarily blind the queen by interfering with how vision genes function in her brain. If she can't see well, she can't fly out again to mate with more males. Their semen also carries a separate protein that attacks and kills sperm cells from rival drones still inside her. The males keep competing long after every one of them is dead. The 99.9% of drones who never get to mate have it worse. As autumn arrives, the female worker bees in the hive stop feeding their brothers, then drag them out of the entrance after biting off their wings. The drones can't fly back in. They starve or freeze in the grass within days. The colony raises a fresh batch of disposable males the next spring, and the whole cycle starts over.

Please help me pay for Tamara Lich’s bodyguard tomorrow The City of Ottawa—especially the downtown area around the court house—is home to swarms of crazy, left-wing activists who mill around the courthouse doors. I just spoke with Tamara Lich. She’s back in Ottawa tomorrow and Thursday for her sentencing hearing. But she told me she didn’t have a bodyguard in place for her visit, so Rebel News is making the arrangements for her. You might be wondering, “why would Tamara need a bodyguard?” Well, that’s the thing. The City of Ottawa—especially the downtown area around the court house—is a bit of a failed state. There are swarms of crazy, left-wing activists who mill around just outside the courthouse doors. Many of them are on drugs or obviously mentally ill. Some of them are harmless. But some of them are activists with Antifa or Hamas. (One was recently sentenced to prison for abusive behavior.) And it’s going to be mayhem this week. Which is why Tamara Lich needs a bodyguard. You might recall, Rebel News crowdfunded the cost of her bodyguard and other expenses during the trial itself. Now that she’s back for sentencing, she needs that protection again. I also offered to help her with the costs of coming back and forth from Alberta to Ottawa itself — gas money and hotels. Tamara has already spent 49 days in prison for us. She lost her job. And she’s been put through the indignity of a show trial — the longest mischief trial in Canadian history. The least we can do is help keep her safe while she’s in Ottawa, and to cover some of the out-of-pocket expenses she’s been forced to incur. Please do your part: please help chip in a few bucks to cover her security and travel. As usual, she was too shy to ask, but when I spoke to her about it, she said she’d be grateful for the help. Thank you. Yours truly, Ezra Levant Rebel News P.S. By the way, I’ll be at the hearing tomorrow myself — I’ll have some video reports, and I’ll live-tweet the proceedings on Twitter. P.P.S. We’ll also have our beautiful billboard truck with us!
