X ceased being a public square years ago, and over the last month, it’s degraded even further. A platform that enables the creation non-consensual sexualised images of women and children cannot be treated as neutral ground - and governments choosing to stay are endorsing it. Enough is enough.

Staying on X is an Endorsement - and It's Unforgivable

Nests are fundamental across animals. Some birds decorate them with fresh, often aromatic plant material (AKA Green Nest Material or GNM) Why do they do this? Despite decades of study, we still don’t know the overall adaptive significance or generality of this behavior 📄 doi.org/10.32942/X2X...
