Comic.[A gantry straddles the intersection of two tectonic plates, one under water and the other on a mountain. A tether connected to a winch on the gantry making a “click click click” sound is connected to the oceanic crust and is pulling it up, causing it to fold. Two people are standing on the fold next to the hook, looking down toward the space between the subducted crust where a shining object sits.] [caption] PSA: Please stay out of the Pacific Ocean today. Someone lost their wedding ring in a subduction zone and USGS is pulling the plate back up to retrieve it.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.

They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.

That energy is all around us. It does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz or any other geopolitical chokepoint.

Four dogs, closeup on the front two, waiting to run the Iditarod. They're standing on snow as light snow falls, and they're wearing small blankets on their backs. Description from Vogue's website: "Natrah and Coki prepare to lead the team on the 11-mile kickoff course, wearing blankets made by Denise Newman and April Monroe. Photo: Emily Sullivan" Two women sit on a leather couch making the blankets for the dogs. Above them are two photos of an Alaskan view and Iditarod dogs. Description from Vogue website: "Kate Chavez, one of the beadwork artists, working with her sister Brittany to make last-minute adjustments to the blankets before the Iditarod starts. Photo: Emily Sullivan" Closeup of one of the blankets, featuring beaded flowers and northern lights. Description from Vogue website: "A detail shot of a beaded blanket by Erika Scheffen and Keisha Green from Dawson City, Yukon. “There is so much meaning, from the northern lights to the stars. I put in the Big Dipper and Little Dipper, which Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in and many other [nations] have traditional stories about that have been passed down through generations orally,” says Scheffen. “I also added forget-me-nots to represent the Alaska state flower.” Photo: Emily Sullivan" Closeup of another blanket, featuring a beaded dogs face surrounded by a circle and snowflakes. Description from Vogue's website: "A detail shot of a beaded blanket by April Monroe of Fairbanks, Alaska. “On this blanket is Jody’s sled dog Flash,” says Monroe. “He was a foundation dog for her team, and many of the dogs running the race with her today are his children and grandchildren.” Photo: Emily Sullivan"

Hän Gwich’in musher Jody Potts-Joseph has outfitted all 16 of her Iditarod dogs with handmade beaded blankets made by Alaska or Canadian First Nations artists! The time and love that went into these, wow...

Adapted from Axelsson et al. 2013 Fig 2c: Histogram showing the distribution of diploid amylase copy number in wolf (n=35, blue) and dog (n=136, red). Dogs carry more copies of the starch-digesting gene AMY2B than wolves. Additional copies make dogs better than wolves at digesting starchy foods like grains & vegetables.

Dogs evolved to eat your leftovers! Comparing dog & wolf genomes revealed dogs have up to 30 EXTRA copies of the amylase gene (AMY2B) that helps digest starch. This is a key genomic signature of living alongside humans & table scraps for thousands of years 🐕 www.nature.com/articles/nat... #2026MMM

sarcasm off: listen, Gnosticism was a specific heresy and you as a writer shouldn't use Gnosticism to mean heretical things in general

sarcasm on: it's only gnosticism if it's from the second to ninth centuries and from the Med and Near East otherwise it's just sparkling heresy
