How come none of you have ever informed me that Spotted Salamanders have a symbiotic relationship with algae that grow in their eggs (algae supply larvae with oxygen and sugar)? That algae may live within them and pass to future generations?

Algae Living inside Salamanders Aren't Happy about the Situation
The world’s only known vertebrate–microbe symbiosis appears to be good for the salamander, but stressful for the alga. So why do they put up with it?

Alright bsky science + art community, I need your help.

I was p confident we could get a grant to fund our upcoming biodiversity mural in Kensington. Last night, they called to say our partner school is 2 blocks outside of their service area.

But ya know what? We're gonna do it anyway.

I swear it's not normal, to continue going on as normal or not saying anything, with full knowledge, that learned societies have tolerated & covered up decades of sexual abuse, or labs sought funding from disgraced billionaires, in the misogynistic & tiny field of vertebrate palaeontology.

There’s a marked difference between people who watched their colleagues change and those who arrived after it had already happened. The former struggle with it constantly and the latter are born free.

A lot of the '18 House members were personally shocked at seeing Republicans do exactly this sort of thing in the press, then say hello in the hallway and try to play it off like it was just all in the game.

pointing out the hypocrisy of the “woke hates free speech” crowd is pretty cliche at this point, but, well.
Posting about ICE on Instagram is now enough to get you an “administrative subpoena.” 👀

as concerned as i often am with centrist policy, if democrats shake off the mccarthyist history of treating leftism as de facto illegitimate....oh the places we'll go, together, arguing about means testing the whole way

definitely seems like you're safer from any kind of punishment for being in the Epstein Files than for, say, just to pick two examples totally at random, attending a college protest for Gaza or tweeting that you weren't very sad Charlie Kirk died
Has anyone in the Epstein Files who didn’t do anything wrong been punished? Maybe someone who was at a meeting Epstein was at. Never went to the island, didn’t get money from him, nor had a bunch of friendly emails.

Anyone get arrested, fired, etc.? Because moral panics feature that sort of thing.
Noah Rothman on the Epstein files: "It is a witch hunt. It‘s a moral panic."

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

Missouri officials directed county election administrators to make voters temporarily unable to vote if they were flagged as potential noncitizens by a federal tool.

But in hundreds of cases, the tool's determinations were wrong.

With @texastribune.org
“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes.
The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

I will do just as much, if not more, than I did last time to get Keith Ellison re-elected (constantly ask his opponent “how old are you?” under every one of his social media posts).
I was at a campaign event yesterday & a politician friend made this very important point to me: we can talk about all the different MN elections in Nov, but none of them is as close and crucial to fighting fascism than reelecting Keith Ellison

He and Moriarty have really fallen down on the job by not indicting Good and Pretti's murderers imo. They have jurisdiction, these people need to be punished.

Dinosaur Valley SP TX represents a big chunk of public land in a large area of mostly private land, but to sacrifice it to a data center is tragic.

AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand

it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?
