In 2010-2013, conservation teams on #Chichijima - 1 of the main islands in the #Ogasawara chain - captured & removed 131 feral cats. The goal was to reduce predation pressure on an endangered pigeon. The results were immediate: adult pigeon numbers rose from 111 to 966 www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Amazon and Walmart are two of the biggest recipients of SNAP and Medicaid funds because they don't take care of their employees. Families working 40+ hours a week requiring gov subsistence. In Canada they go to food pantries to make ends meet.

Corporations are the real "welfare queens" of society

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

I’m getting better at centering, too. Still need to work on trimming the bowls so they’re not bottom-heavy, and keeping them consistent (hah. I will be working on that forever.)

Photo of four freshly-thrown clay bowls on a piece of plywood. The bowls are dark reddish-brown, and mostly the same size and shape except for the one on the far right, which is bigger. In the background there is a bunch of clutter and ceramic studio stuff.

Made it out to the ceramic studio this morning and the clay was extremely cooperative! I was experimenting with using a rubber rib to open up and shape the bowls and wow, when it works it’s just like zwoooop, suddenly there’s a bowl! Incredibly satisfying.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending'
YouTube video by PBS NewsHour Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending'

A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." (This PBS story on the scientific brain drain is heartbreaking & ominous for medicine, imo.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO...

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start

If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

I always identified with Boxer the horse and have been unlearning "I will Work Harder" as a solution to every problem because the end of that story is the glue factory.

Joseph Scrimshaw tweet from 2022:

"Daylight Saving Time is increasingly hard to notice when my digital devices are like, 'What? Nothing happened. We know what time it is.'

And my stove is left blinking and screaming, 'IT HAPPENED! TIME SHIFTED UNNATURALLY! THEY'RE ALL LYING! ONLY I KNOW! ONLY I REMEMBER!' "

Two bunnies are on a stone bridge, looking down at a family of ducks floating in the water below. The ducks are about to go under the bridge. It is an early spring day, with clumps of snow still on the ground.

A cutie patootie in my backyard, a young opossum. I don't know if this is the young one that was hunting frogs in the marsh; my trail cam has picked up two young opossums that like to hang around.
