If you live in California I seen a major earthquake, cracking open a mountain that has an entity inside of it. I don't know if it has already happened but it is going to happen. then this entity is gonna go and wake up the other entities. These entities are energetically Giants. some people are going to see these beings and others won't but they're about to destroy Californias ungrounded tunnels.

no idea who made this but I think of that random person with gratitude every time I heat up any sort of wraplike food object in the microwave
two scenes from an X-Men animated program: in the first, scott summers and jean gray are making out; he is labeled "microwave heat" and she is labeled "plate." in the second, we are more distant from the couple, and wolverine is standing in the foreground, labeled "my burrito."

Bumblebees prefer shorter over longer strings and connected over disconnected ones in string‐pulling tasks but prioritize connectivity over spatial proximity when the two are in conflict - Wen - 2026 - Insect Science - Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Bumblebees prefer shorter over longer strings and connected over disconnected ones in string‐pulling tasks but prioritize connectivity over spatial proximity when the two are in conflict
We investigated how bumblebees balance efficiency and accessibility in string-pulling tasks. When given strings of different lengths attached to rewards, they consistently chose the shorter one. They...

My question here is simple; of those 185k people who've attended a briefing, was a single one not already worried about climate change and wanting further action?

A tough thing about working on food systems and land competition is that it’s contentious by definition, because there are many growing demands on a finite global land area. Intensive vs extensive ag, meat/dairy, biofuels/biomaterials, nature-based solutions—there can’t always be more of everything.

I've rewritten this a few times and considered quoting it - some of the most moving messages I've recieved. A man who'd seen someone he knews death livesteamed on their facebook - but whose reaction was to try and reject hate. To find a better way.

My main memory of October 7th is reaching out to a Jewish friend to check he and his family were okay - and the sorrow, compassion and grace he expressed. He rejected hate and vengence, and expressed horror at what was likely to come. I'll always compare that to those who celebrated or march today

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

the thing is that the "realistic doll" metaphor is more intuitive than the "animal" one, because a duck doesn't care if you yell at it and it is unethical to painlessly kill five hundred ducks every day and throw them away, and i do the latter with agents.

This is the important detail in the Russia pneumonic plague story. Whatever else may be true about overall competency and transparency about what's going on, the plague isn't that easy to spread, and it's treatable now, so there's no reason to freak out and act like we're all going to die.
