but why is lewis always at the crime scene😭🏁

the fact that webber is also piastri's manager tho

[schumigrace]

yall let's chat tell me in the tags what your comfort race is (i.e., what race/set of races do you go back to watch when you need a boost)

[palewolfcheesecake-blog]

I don't think I'll ever get over how they only specified who came in third 💀

[lewiseb]

was rewatching malaysia 2013 (for the first time in 11 years??) and there's nothing to say about this race that hasn't already been said a million times but. i do wanna highlight a few of my favourite moments

- seb yapping on the radio after like 5 laps that "mark's too slow, get him out of the way!!" and completely being ignored by the team. pour one out for rocky fr

- literally nobody knew what was going on at red bull? i don't think they broadcasted the multi 21 radio (or at least they didn't show it on the f1 tv rerun) so to the commentators it was just a hard and a bit unnecessarily risky overtake by seb on his team mate. everyone was just like "ok fair ig?" until mark webber stomped into the cooldown room with an air of betrayal and impeding retirement about him and made seb sulkingly down three liters of water

- adrian newey on the podium (to keep the problem child in check?) who built a human wall between seb and mark in the cooldown room (which did not withstand a "multi 21, seb. yeah, multi 21 🙄")

- everyone is always like "ohh lewis always at the scene of the crime in other team's drama races" bitch he had his own thing going on!! that guy was devastated after nico spend 20 laps catching up / trying to overtake him until nico got team orders to stay behind (in their second ever race as team mates ....) even though he was ultimately faster. that man could not care less about red bull drama he had layers of guilt to work through or whatever. he literally said on the podium that "nico should be up here". anyways brocedes the real team mate conflict of the malaysian gp

i read “abolishing drs” and thought finally we’d be rid of the evil that is netflix but then my brain worked ):

malaysian gp 2013 - 21/10 would watch again i loved it i loved it i chose it explicitly because i was in pain the whole day and i needed a pick me up and whats more of a pick me up than seb being his absolute bastard self (which people like to conveniently forget as they dadify him and not even in a sexy way just like no check yourselves all yall) i screamed at his overtake on lewis i absolutely screamed at that pitstop moment when mark came out of the pits and i cheered as fuck for multi-21 because it was EVERYTHING. he bitched about mark being too slow, ignored everything, got p1, played dumb in the cooldown room as newey stood there like 😬, bonus points for christians hArSh rEpRiMaNd (As if hed ever do anything to seriously upset his golden boy, especially after three fucking championships), bonus points for brocedes good racing ald lewis being like “i feel like nico should be here instead of me” and nico saying “remember this” to that cunt ross brawn and kimi screaming at hulkenberg (who is a waste of perfectly fine driver space imnsho) and tbh also for marko throwing shade on mercedes like evil motorsports palpatine in the senate. just. this race is so good, such good racing, such bitchiness, malaysia gives and gives and i love it. here is the pic that cracks me up bcs its like. just to illustrate what i mean when i say seb my beloved bastard does not give a fuck at all and everyone knows they have to play nice for the cameras :)

The Oriental Blue Clearwing Moth: these moths were regarded as a "lost species" for more than 130 years, until they were finally sighted again in 2013

For more than 130 years, the Oriental blue clearwing moth (Heterosphecia tawonoides) was known only from a single, badly damaged specimen that was collected in Sumatra in 1887. There were no recorded sightings of this species again until 2013, when entomologist Dr. Marta Skowron Volponi unexpectedly found the moths feeding on salt deposits that had accumulated along the riverbanks in Malaysia's lowland rainforest.

These moths were observed by researchers again in 2016 and 2017, and research indicates that the moths are actually bee-mimics, as they mimic the appearance, sound, behavior, and flight patterns of local bees. Their fuzzy, bright blue appearance might seem a little out of place for a bee-mimic, but those features do appear in several different bee species throughout Southeast Asia.

When the moths are in flight, they bear a particularly strong resemblance to the bees of the genus Thyreus (i.e. cuckoo bees, otherwise known as cloak-and-dagger bees), several of which are also bright blue, with banded markings, dark blue wings, fuzzy legs, and smooth, rounded antennae. The physical resemblance is compounded by the acoustic and behavioral mimicry that occurs when the moths are in flight.

Cloak-and-Dagger Bees: the image at the top shows an Indo-Malayan cloak-and-dagger bee (Thyreus novaehollandiae) in a sleeping position, holding itself upright with its mandibles clamped onto a twig, while the image at the bottom shows a Himalayan cloak-and-dagger bee (T. himalayensis) resting in the same position

The moths also engage in "mud-puddling" among the various bees that congregate along the riverbanks; mud-puddling is the process whereby an insect (usually a bee or a butterfly) draws nutrients from the fluids found in puddles, wet sand, decaying plant matter, carrion, animal waste, sweat, tears, and/or blood. According to researchers, the Oriental blue clearwing moth was the only lepidopteran that was seen mud-puddling among the local bees.

Dr. Skowron Volponi commented on the unusual appearance and behavior of these moths:

You think about moths and you envision a grey, hairy insect that is attracted to light. But this species is dramatically different—it is beautiful, shiny blue in sunlight and it comes out during the day; and it is a master of disguise, mimicking bees on multiple levels and even hanging out with them. The Oriental blue clearwing is just two centimeters in size, but there are so many fascinating things about them and so much more we hope to learn.

This species is still incredibly vulnerable, as it faces threats like deforestation, pollution, and climate change. The president of Global Wildlife Conservation, which is an organization that seeks to rediscover "lost species," added:

After learning about this incredible rediscovery, we hope that tourists visiting Taman Negara National Park and picnicking on the riverbanks—the home of these beautiful clearwing moths—will remember to tread lightly and to take their trash out of the park with them. We also recommend that Americans learn about palm oil production, which is one of the primary causes of deforestation in Malaysia.
