🐧🧊 Incredible underwater footage of penguin life, shot from the first person of one of them.

🇺🇦 This beauty was captured thanks to Ukrainian scientists from the Vernadsky Station in Antarctica, who put a GPS tracker and a tiny camera on the bird.

The top is after Trump’s DOJ redactions below is without, I can almost figure out who they are protecting

I’m increasingly convinced that self care is climate action. After all, if we want a sustainable world, don’t we have to be sustainable too?

For me, that means time with friends & fam, nature, knitting, chocolate, tea, and a stack of good books.

What’s your favourite way to recharge?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

I'm increasingly convinced Trump's inner circle is giving him busy work (the White House ballroom, Kennedy Center, presidential plaques, gold decorations, etc.) while they essentially run the government. He admits that he doesn't even know who he is pardoning anymore.

Trump and Republicans claim they want to "protect children."

But they've rolled back child labor laws and environmental protections, blocked gun safety reform, and spread lies about vaccines that save children from deadly diseases.

Hello?

What gets me about executives at movie/videogame studios being taken aback at consumer backlash to AI is that they seem genuinely surprised that we like the human beings that make the things that we like

[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela?

AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

It is time to say Goodbye 🥺 Today is the last day of #Animove at #OTS #LaSelva in Costa Rica. It was two weeks of fun in the jungle with many motivated #animalmovement researchers learning different methods for analysing their data. Stay in touch!

A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

I love Magic and Commander so much, but this hits the nail on the head!

It’s a horrible way to get started because it’s so absurdly complicated *ontop* of an already complicated game 😵‍💫

Millions are struggling with the cost of food, housing, and other basic necessities. 70% of U.S. adults say the American Dream is dead. How does Trump respond? By saying "affordability" is a "Democrat scam" and a "hoax." Hello?

Another comic from this past year. Sometimes I'm in awe about how incredibly small birds can be.

Andean bears have unique facial markings, much like human fingerprints. These markings may change in shape and colour with age, and in some individuals may be absent altogether.

REFERENCE: Peyton, B. 1980.

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.

Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

🧠🐒 When chimps vocalise, human brains spark in a unique pattern that we do not show for other primates. Not bonobos, not macaques, just chimps.

✨It is like evolution left a little secret button in our heads and chimps know exactly how to press it✨

Our latest study found a notable lack of news reporting on the human health relevance of climate change in the world’s three leading carbon-emitting nations. Over the past decade, only 8% of climate-related articles included any mention of human health.

New post by me on #MITPressReader @mitpress.bsky.social

On the 100th anniversary of the #ScopesMonkeyTrial
the ways we depict #evolution can still give an erroneous progressive view (that evolution leads to humans or ‘increased complexity’).
