Using acoustic #telemetry to quantify #marine horizontal diel migration in very small cod 🐟 we show that:
• Migration timing closely tracks photoperiod
• During continuous daylight diel migration stops
• There is substantial among individual variation

We can build a world where being in a gambling ad is just as cringe as being in a crypto ad was a few super bowls ago.
NFT, crypto, sports betting, polymarket. It's all the same grift, and everyone associated with it deserves unending mockery at the very least.

The government is giving a loan to a Crown corporation that should just be a public service that we pay for because it provides an essential task that Canadians depend on.
We don’t provide loans to the health care system or schools; we just pay for them.

we can't have people like this among us, let alone armed and in possession of an ostensible license to kill
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
