Global Wildlife Trade Fuels Spread of Disease From Animals to People

I wrote a feature about the illegal wildlife trade for @cangeo.bsky.social about 10 years ago.

Despite the many lessons since, including the COVID pandemic, nothing has improved.

Crikey! What a beautiful little Western Terrestrial Gartersnake.

Trump administration promised 'gold standard science.' Scientists say they got fool's gold The Trump administration says it's returning U.S. science to a golden era. Critics say it's tarnished by political agendas.

Delicious!

How can any adult in 2026 — even the most Luddite of conservatives — actually be this stupid?

Sadly, 💯 expected.

It certainly is.

I just checked and the President of the USA is still a moron.

And from the “cool things real world leader do” department (nothing to do with America, of course)…

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States.

Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay.

Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.

Love this 💕

Todd Blanche is a lying POS.

So, there’s that to consider…

Pollinators don't just visit flowers - they keep entire ecosystems alive A small bee on a flower may not seem important, but it plays a key role in nature. A recent study shows that each time a pollinator visits a flower, it helps the plant produce seeds and grow new plants. Without this process, many plants would struggle to survive and could slowly disappear over time. What biodiversity means in daily life Biodiversity means the presence of many different kinds of plants and animals living together in one place. For example, a garden filled with a variety of flowers, insects, and birds has high biodiversity. This variety helps ecosystems stay strong, stable, and healthy. Pollinators such as bees, butterflies, birds, and bats are important for maintaining this balance. They transfer pollen from one flower to another, which allows plants to produce fruits and seeds. Without pollinators, many plants would struggle to reproduce, leading to a decline in plant diversity. Why pollinators follow flowers Pollinators look for food like nectar and pollen. Different plants offer different kinds of food. So, places with many plant types attract more pollinators. “Pollinators go where the food is,” said Brian Wilsey, a professor at Iowa State University, co-author of the study. This explains why colorful and...

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.

Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.

Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.

The image displays the Adorant, a prehistoric figurine carved from mammoth ivory. It is a small ivory plaque depicting a human-like figure with arms raised in a pose of adoration or worship. The reverse side features orderly sequences of notches and dots, which researchers suggest may represent an early precursor to written language or a structured communication system.

Earth’s oldest ice and rocks hold a record of its deep past. Our deep past includes the discovery of the earliest symbolic writing, dating to 40,000 years ago. We consider the big picture of deep time when we go "Old School" on this week’s @bipisci.bsky.social. 🧪
