Will the worm turn?

Work Zone
You've probably seen earthworms who are driven to the surface on rainy days. Many of them die when the sun comes out and dries them.
But did you know? There is another hazard in an earthworm's life.
There is another earthworm, a predatory one that feeds on other worms.   (Bipalium)
Look at it closely.
Does this predatory worm remind you of something?
And further on the topic of logos:

       It isn't just me. Talking with an employee of the local Tesla automobile dealership I asked him "Have y'all noticed the similarity of the logo with an IUD?" (intrauterine birth control device). He replied "yes, we joke about that".
       This is particularly ironic considering that Elon Musk is a prominent proponent of pronatalism, the belief that people should have many more children.

       There is a free floating nagging discontent that plagues the peoples' consciousness. It has been building for a couple of generations and seems to have come to a head in recent years. It is expressed in political behaviour (or paralysis) that is vague, grasping for straws, and further exacerbating the condition. We half consciously search for the causes, and relief, while we are bathed constantly, insistently in an environment of deliberate misdirection.
       It is a discontent that festers within a kind of anxious frenzy for what we think is survival.

       Relief is not in a paternalistic vision of a president who will take care of everything for you like Daddy did, but in a clearer understanding of the sources of our discontents. They come from external sources, and internal ones. The two are intertwined. We rebel at the feeling of being powerless, and even more when pressed to acknowledge it. We exaggerate the power of external sources.
