Last thought: Someone on a nature show referred to the "wood-wide-web", a succinct description of the interdependent web of fungal, animal, and plant life that makes up a mature forest Nothing on our Earth exists in isolation

How history gets lost in time... 🤯 The whole original reason her remark was so offensive is that the peasants couldn't afford to eat cake The words have survived but their significance seems to have gotten lost somewhere... until now 🤷

Broad brush: A serious photographer and a poet are engaged in the same enterprise Only their tools and their chosen gateways to the mind differ

Its #Stunday. Even though this caterpillar looks like a big piece of bird poop, I think it's still rather stunning. Especially considering that it will soon be a big beautiful swallowtail butterfly. It was eating leaves on my Meyer lemon tree. #photography #wildlife #ECK #larvae #caterpillar

This beautiful roseate spoonbill was resting and falling asleep in a good spot at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in the Florida Panhandle.

If you note carefully, they have a very pleasant and subtle "psychoactive" buzz that makes the world seem to be something to sing about LOL There's a reason for their name

That's true But... I work with words and communication a lot, in different capacities *Perhaps* the wording of your post comes across ambiguously... I can barely watch some of the popular science programs because there are so many ambiguous and unclear statements - so it happens all over

It is theft and the "AI" companies admit it You tell yourself what you have to but I had my work stolen and you can't make that not be true Don't bother to argue, it won't do you any good

Our little local archaeology group just held elections for officers I joked that it was a Communist election because there were no opposing candidates It's a joke in our little club but it's reality in Russia

Probably half of us no longer know what newspapers were like They were powerful institutions that for the most part defended democracy and called out corruption Where we are now is a lot because they've been defanged and crippled Good place for a plug for The Guardian

In reality, there's no such thing as "standard" time except as a way to make the trains run "on time" Every longitude has its own time based on local solar noon Wherever you are, it's later a mile to the east, and earlier a mile to the west

For those Standard or Daylight activist who tell us one is better than the other Got to the edge of your time zone The people on the east side of it are effectively on Daylight time relative to the people one step away on the west side One is better? How? Show your work

Shameful extension of private equity where it has no place I dare anyone to show me *one* example of private equity that has benefited ordinary people Remember what happened to Toys'R'Us? And they're only one example
