One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures.

NEW 🧵 Is human intelligence starting to decline?
Recent results from major international tests show that the average person’s capacity to process information, use reasoning and solve novel problems has been falling since around the mid 2010s
What should we make of this?

Ravello is a breathtaking town on the Amalfi Coast known for its stunning coastal views, historic villas, and cultural heritage. Perched high above the Tyrrhenian Sea, it offers a more tranquil and refined atmosphere compared to the busier towns of Amalfi and Positano

Without insect pollinators, we would see a sharp decline in plant diversity – both the beautiful flowers that fill our gardens, and the plants that produce fruit and seeds that feed people:
Fewer bees and other pollinating insects lead to shrinking crops
Perhaps 90% of flowering plants require animal pollinators – and most of them are insects. But it’s not just bees doing this important work.

Fun fact: If you ever swallow a razor blade, don’t panic. Acids are ranked on a scale from 0 to 14—the lower the pH level, the stronger the acid. Human stomach acid is typically 1.0 to 2.0, meaning that it has an incredibly strong pH.

We repeat this experiment (or versions of it) in towns over and over again with the same positive outcome every time but without any resultant widespread policy change.
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.
