This is actually a really common scam these days. A scammer will call and use AI to replicate a family member’s voice and the family member will sound distressed and having an emergency so you don’t have time to think. Best thing to do is hang up and call that family member “back” to confirm.

Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds
Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90%
The world's richest 0.001% now control 3x as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity combined.
56,000 wealthy individuals have more than roughly 4 billion people.
Read that back.

Also, of course, the State Department changing typefaces for reasons that boil down to "fuck accessibility" is both utterly in line with the overt bigotry of this administration and a signal indicator of how unserious these people are, it doesn't matter what typeface you use when you're a joke

Science Friday's Picture of the Week: An octopus mother brooding her eggs, which hang from a rock.
Two years ago, a marine biologist sent an underwater drone to the bottom of the sea. She expected to find worms. Instead, she found an army of octo-moms brooding their eggs, like this one in our #PictureOfTheWeek. 🐙

Infographic on the chemistry of mistletoe. It explains how mistletoe leaves are mildly toxic due to the presence of toxic peptides, as well as the alkaloid tyramine. The structure of tyramine is shown between two mistletoe leaves.
Infographic on farofa, a Brazilian side-dish also used as a stuffing for turkey or chicken. Farofa is made from cassava flour, made itself from cassava roots. Cassava roots contain toxic cyanogenic glycosides and must be soaked to remove these compounds. The sturcture of linamarin, the main cyanogenic glycoside in cassava root, is shown.
Two poisonous plants for day 10 of #ChemAdvent! ☠️

Mistletoe is less likely to be eaten but is also poisonous due to the presence of toxic peptides and tyramine.

Oregon and 19 other states fought back — and won.
