This sort of "here is how we know" article, in which the evidence is thoroughly summarized and clearly explained and common counter-arguments are calmly debunked with evidence, is probably something we should be doing a lot more of.

Some people are not persuadable. Many are.

Here is how we know that vaccines do not cause autism
Vaccines do not cause autism. You’ve almost certainly read that before — but often without a full explanation of how we know it to be true. Here's how we know.

History isn’t supposed to be comfortable. It’s supposed to be honest. We don’t learn from a past we pretend didn’t happen. Rewriting our history doesn’t protect us. It makes us weaker. And more likely to repeat the very mistakes they don’t want us to remember.

New record: "Nezha 2" has just hit the US$1 billion box-office gross (and 145 million admissions), in China alone, only 11 days after its release.
No film in any country in the world has ever achieved this record at the domestic box office.

Some subsurface scattering studies! Say that three times fast 😂

I can’t figure out if the light or dark background works better, so I included both ~

The neon whale contains parts of both the sky and sea. It drifts between worlds bringing bits and pieces to each location, much like how a bee fertilizes flowers. I like to think this is how life ends up on other planets 🪐 🐋✨

I hiked up the north side of Squak Mountain in the Issaquah Alps this morning when it was 28°F and found the MOTHER OF ALL HAIR ICE. Look at this beauty!! This is by far the most perfect hair ice I've ever found.

For those who missed my last hair ice post, this is caused by fungus in the wood.
