My coping strategy at work: mentally replace 'AI' with 'the boss's 8 year-old nephew, Jimmy.' 'Let's speed it up using the boss's 8 year-old nephew, Jimmy.' 'As ever with the boss's 8 year-old nephew, Jimmy, check it twice.' 'This whole thing's a disaster. Bloody boss's 8 year-old nephew, Jimmy.'

Entomologist here. Great question! It may seem surprising that the scientific community could miss an entire bug species after all this time, especially when it’s THIS big. The answer might surprise you more. Let’s dive in (1/?)

@ABC
Scientists have discovered a giant new species of stick insect in Australia, which is over 15 inches long and researchers say may be the heaviest insect in the country.

my neighborhood 7-11 closed a couple years ago and tried to reopen but couldn’t get the permit approved because there’s a preschool next door and 7-11s sell alcohol (the previous permit was grandfathered in). i saw a fence going up around the lot recently and looked up what was moving in: a gun shop

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
