Got up early in hopes of catching this photo before work this morning. There's only a few days each year where it's cool enough in the morning to make this shot possible. Thankfully, today was one of those days! #wildlife #birds
A red winged blackbird's breath can be seen as he sings his morning song. The bird is sitting on a cattail and the rising morning sun illuminates his breath.

The theoretical goal is Acoustic and Thermal Transparency. If we achieve extreme energy density, we stop "shouting" into the ocean and start "whispering" or going silent altogether. This would allow the digital world to exist without leaving a sensory scar on the marine environment.

We shouldn't have to choose between the Internet (our collective knowledge) and the Ocean (our collective life support). Creative problem-solving says that with enough energy density and compact engineering, the "internet" becomes physically invisible and biologically silent.

- Yes, global market access, but the U.S. market is essential because of its pricing structure and size. - The U.S. healthcare system has high drug costs, unlike in many other countries where governments limit prices. - Political, economic, and structural factors that make the U.S. an outlier. 💰👺🙈

“You cannot make a return on investment without access to the U.S. market” - what does this mean? Do they have access to the rest of the World markets? If so, is that a testament to healthcare costs in the U.S., that losing access to that market would entirely cripple their profits? 🤔

Examples: 1. Stalin - Promoted ideals of equality, but lived in extreme luxury. 2. Hitler - Did not have Aryan appearance. 3. Mao Zedong - promoted “moral authority”, but had several mistresses. Still, the hypocrisy is bypassed psychologically by followers. 🤔 why?

Yeah, also people building a following by telling people that what they do is the “right standard” but the leader doesn’t actually embody the standard at all. It’s confusing.

Who coined “anti-woke”? They have to be the best marketing rep in the entire world because for a platform to build a reputation on common sense and also rep a phrase like “anti-woke” is both bizarre and phenomenal. #SleepAF 🤔

Thousands of years before the invention of compasses or sails, prehistoric peoples crossed oceans to reach remote lands like Malta and Australia. Doing so meant striking out in unknowable conditions. What do such crossings tell us about ancient minds?

Ancient humans were seafaring far earlier than we realised

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

PFAS are turning up in the Great Lakes, putting fish and water supplies at risk – here’s how they get there
Some of these ‘forever chemicals’ are toxic at very low levels. They can get into water systems and bioaccumulate in fish, ultimately posing risks to people.

What IS an appropriate interest rate? If people are borrowing the implication is they don’t have it. The point of interest is to insulate a lender not enrich them and bury everyone else.
