Es ist halt auch alles so unendlich lächerlich. Es ist ein Gleichgewicht von Terror und Lächerlichkeit.

The tiny toad's grumpy face is quite amusing, but it's unlikely to be related to any human mood, it's just a natural expression for the species.

The weed number is now 582 due to inflation

Inflation doesn't directly impact the arbitrary numbers assigned to strains of cannabis, this seems like misinformation.

every fucking time

The Orange County Chopper meme of two guys fighting, back and forth from frame to frame:
"I'm feeling anxious and I can't figure out why!"
"It might just be your mast cells, take an antihistamine!"
"Not everything is mast cells, okay?!"
"Just take a fucking antihistamine and see!!!"
half hour later "I'm feeling better now, thank you!!!!!"

Take care of yourself, friends. That's first and foremost. You didn't break the world. You're not going to unbreak it by breaking yourself. We're all going to have to find places to lend our efforts. But remember yourself. You're important.

Remember the eclipse back in April? Since eclipses are rare I practiced camera settings and timing... then changed travel plans, watched the weather like a hawk, and ended up driving quite a bit. It all worked out. I'm proudest of this image and would love to do projects like this more often.

A scene with inky darkness. The moon blots out the sun and ring of fire appears in the sky. The horizon looks like sunset and the golden color reflects in the lake. Three people in the bottom right corner look up. They are in silhouette.

Given the level of disinformation, foreign/malign input & the algorithm musk uses to push his agenda & quash anything remotely liberal, why would that site be considered to be useful in any way? Users trying to combat the BS over there are simply screaming into the void. It will only get worse.

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

This is so cool! Retrotransposons activate during pregnancy to force a swift creation of new RBCs. An example of "junk DNA" being incredibly useful. And yes, interesting re: cases of #MECFS after pregnancy or recovery after pregnancy. 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Retrotransposons are co-opted to activate hematopoietic stem cells and erythropoiesis

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and erythropoiesis are activated during pregnancy and after bleeding by the derepression of retrotransposons, including endogenous retroviruses and LINE elements. Retro...

For anyone interested in the pathophysiology of MECFS there’s a nice infographic here from this article; www.jci.org/articles/vie... LOTS more research needs to be done of course. In clinical practice the vascular dysregulation is something I very much recognise 🧵

Twitter provocateurs (or, “assholes”) are joining en masse, so it’s a good time to remind you that blocking here is easy, fun, and nuclear. Heated discourse is great and can educate people, but there’s simply no point in entertaining anyone who’s just looking to cause harm.

Chill comrade: There is nothing to be gained from entertaining resentful relations with hostile strangers online. It changes no hearts, and wastes energy that could be used on creating art, building community, and fostering relationships.

The news is terrible, but the Variable Neon Slug (Nembrotha kubaryana) looks like this ↓ and that's not nothing. Found in the Western Indo-Pacific Ocean region, it can grow up to 4 in (10 cm) long. They feed primarily on ascidians (sea-squirts)... (📷: Steve Childs, Flickr)

This is really *the* problem in terms of breaking through to people. Look at this data. Republicans answered more incorrectly on all 4 current events questions posed. I'm sure Canada has some parallels. Post-reality politics is hard because the very premise of a conversation can be hallucinated.

A series of true or false questions asks respondents in a poll if violent crime is at an all time high (no), has inflation declined in the US (yes), is the stock market at all time highs (yes), are illegal border crossings lower now than past few years (yes). It then shows data showing among respondents who chose correctly or incorrectly, who were they more likely to vote for? Republicans scored far higher for answering incorrectly on all 4 questions.

I finally did it and got a new GoPro so I can start making slow tv walking videos. I tested it out at my local park so if you need a calm 5 minutes through an autumnal wetland with some crows, here you go. Hopefully more, longer walks to come soon as I figure this out! youtu.be/BOJ2zNHr6HA?...

It gets harder and harder to tell your anxious mind that the worst thing possible is very unlikely to happen when that's what keeps fucking happening

People literally have to say stupid ass shit like "I would simply not live in the path of an unstoppable natural disaster" because otherwise they would be forced to face the chaos inherent to this world. The idea that everything just happens to you for no reason is too scary for the average person

I just took a survey that would have benefited from the modified 2-D Likert scale I just invented

Likert survey form with options
"strongly agree - agree - neutral - disagree - strongly disagree", or
"grudgingly agree - meh - grudgingly disagree", or
"this question is annoying"
