“Survival of the fittest”
is often used to justify capitalist society, but this wasn’t a phrase that Darwin used.
He described it as “better designed for an immediate, local environment" and wrote of groups that survived through empathy and sharing rather than greed.
We must change
Or die

Hah! Though in fairness it's more because they largely hunt by scent and vibrations in the water, at least as far as I remember.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Everyone posts the glamorous side to this beautiful bird, but not today! 🤣

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”

basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.

i feel that with my dad.

I saw a post this morning somewhere about trying to draw an upturned chin from below and yeah - that's a tough one!

You need to rely a lot on shading the form rather than lines for this usually. Beards can be a nice cheat. 😋

Here's a few refs to try today if you want the challenge. ⭐

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

I made a shinx, luxio and luxray one too! 😁 This one is my favourite so far.

the internet has decided that em-dashes are a hallmark of llm writing, which is *extremely* annoying to me, as someone who uses em-dashes all the time.

dear internet please consider the possibility that LLMs use em-dashes a lot because they're, like, good

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

I love my Steam Deck so much. It's been an amazing investment; the idea of more Valve hardware is pretty exciting. They've been crushing it.

Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

On this day, 33 years ago, Bram Stoker’s Dracula was released in cinemas.

Starring #GaryOldman, #WinonaRyder, #KeanuReeves and #AnthonyHopkins it was an Oscar-winning, critically acclaimed success and one of the most revered #vampire movies ever.

A cartoon crow looks up at a poster for a ballet studio that includes art of 6 ballerinas dancing and a guide of the first 5 ballet feet positions.

The crow marvels that humans can glide on the ground as birds do in the sky.

The crow decides to try dancing too, following the illustrated poses on the poster.

The crow crosses their legs and bounces.

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Here is a thread I will slowly build of memes and quotes that out of context describe vibes or plot points of Clair Obscur (expedition 33). They may be spoilery, I'd still challenge anybody who sees this to try and guess what each refers to in E33!

Been playing new game plus with the kids around and honestly the story is even better the second time through. The accolades are absolutely 1000% deserved.

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu." Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Jodie is Oodie, I'm pretty sure Jodie Foster isn't making winter clothes though I confess I haven't looked into the matter at all.

Fully recommend, I have many such scarves, and outright shawls made of blanket material, also I think Jodie have started making variants that look more like Clothes. Fight winter by any means necessary
