Like rivers for supplies instead of water, except the powers that made them added proprietary stamp forcing stop and transfer if you want to keep going. Neat (and also purposely awful for future generations).

Cool way to look at geography and history. Thanks @cthomasjamh.bsky.social for sharing.

We will make me think about banks and telecommunications companies. One way to get big and is by harvesting nibbles at massive scale.

This is like, I dunno, science fiction l. Except without the fiction.

@straightarrownews.bsky.social Thank you! (If this is the same outfit)

‘Jmail’ and ‘JeffTube’ present Epstein materials in a new light JeffTube lets you use a clone of YouTube to view videos released by the DOJ that relate to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein.

This is how I love to see the internet used.

Let's learn some surprising things about hummingbird tongues.

First, as you can see, their tongues are forked & feathery, highly specialized for lapping up their liquid diet of nectar.

But it gets weirder up close!

*many

Noticing that the first tongue probe was long, with remainder shorter. Guessing it's more efficient to move smaller amount of mass less distance more quickly? (ofc I haven't read the paper yet).

Also, may kudos for citing primary literature. Big fan.

Study finds no link between COVID-19 vaccines and autism

A new study finds no increase in autism rates in babies born to mothers who received COVID-19 vaccines just before or during pregnancy, compared with children of unvaccinated moms.

This is a very cool story, particularly the conclusion that phagocytosis is being repurposed to specifically house a chloroplast. That's neat.

My first reaction was that 1 in 400 is low then I read the figure for Twitter. Yikes.

I love stories about fortuitous discoveries. Thanks @c0nc0rdance.bsky.social

Not something you see in textbooks very often: tripolar mitosis.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Thanks to @tylermcbrien.com for the liveposting. Harrowing, tragic -- and critically important to hear.

Billionaire Wealth Concentration Is Even Worse than You Imagine The share of U.S. wealth held by the top 0.1 percent has grown nearly 60 percent since 1989.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

While I don't think the "political press" is this homogenous, it's a real dynamic that made the press easy to game.

The political press very clearly understands “truth” as a social agreement, a compromise position between everyone important enough to have an opinion. It did not reflect on how this would allow dedicated liars to go all-in on lies again and again and dramatically shift the position.

Whoa. I mean, I guess finger pointing implies they know it's wrong?

yeah at this point i'm pretty convinced the new york times is a recipe and puzzle company that also launders fascism

I have been thinking some version of this, regularly, since November 2024.
