Interesting study of cannabalized Neanderthals.
The Neanderthals eaten were either smaller adult females or juveniles, suggesting they were deliberately and selectively hunted.

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.
Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

You can’t just get rid of tariffs & expect prices to go down.
Corporations only care about profit.
If consumers are paying the inflated price for their product, they won’t reduce the price just bc costs went down.
Getting rid of tariffs won’t decrease prices, it’ll only increase profit margins.

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Pretty wild that the first evidence of human writing is a hashtag on the floor of a cave & here we are 39,000 years later still using the same basic symbol every single day.
