Useful slime! Slime without pretense! Better than most politicians! Slime 2024!
A metalic proto-shoggoth?
Ah HP if thou couldst be alive to write about this!
Sounds like a T1000, version 0.1.
“Magnetic slime” – reminds me of my sister’s ex-husband . . .

Off topic, Our World in Data reports that the number of Americans in intensive care with COVID is, at 2,033, the lowest it has been since they began tracking this datum on 16 July 2020.
Worldometers reports that the seven-day moving average of COVID deaths across the globe is 3,770 as of 1 April 2022. This is the lowest value recorded since 31 March 2020. After the first weeks of the pandemic, this metric has fluctuated between 4,900 and 14,900 per day.
Reminds me of a slug. Quite a breakthrough if scientists can make it safe for humans and mammals.
