One of the least surprising scientific results ever!

Pigeon perched on branch amongst foliage, photo. Description from ebird: ‘An enormous pigeon of lowland swamp forest. Blue-gray body and maroon chest. Differs from other crowned pigeons by its long white-tipped crest and pale gray wing patch tipped with maroon. Claps its wings very loudly when it takes off. Forages on the forest floor for fallen fruit. Courtship display includes rocking whole body forward and fanning tail, then lifting wings. Unmistakable and does not overlap with other crowned-pigeons. Voice a deep, upslurred booming call. Also regular deep hooting notes.’

It is DEEPLY important to get non-millionaires, non-tech-industry-hacks, and non-Wall-Street people onto Boards of Trustees of Colleges and Universities. I've seen @syed.nyc in action in the Working Families Party and hope you'll vote for him if you're a Wesleyan grad.

The stupid just does not stop.

Chloe had often planned theoretically perfect days. As long as every task took its expected time, down to the minute, she could manage everything. In practice, this never actually worked for the primary reason that Chloe was not perfect, and for the secondary reason that she wished she were.

This strategy—using fake AI profiles to boost political causes—was tested during the 2022 recalls in San Francisco.

One of the most famous mosasaurs, Tylosaurus proriger, submerges after taking a breath. It is dark above and light below, as tentatively suggested by some palaeocolour data. The challenges of interpreting scaly reptile palaeocolour, and the tiny scraps of colour data we have for this animal, preclude much confidence in chromatic interpretations of this species, however. Also, if you stare at this long enough, you'll see a few sharks. No foolin'.

Been thinking marine-reptiley thoughts today. Here's one of my latest #paleoart efforts along that line: Tylosaurus proriger. The colour is based on fossil colour data, although it's far from certain that this animal was black and countershaded.

Record drought is gripping nearly two-thirds of the continental US, including 97% of the Southeast, as climate-driven warmth and exceptional dryness primes many areas for a bad wildfire season, water issues, and agricultural losses.

a lot of the quote posts of this are in the "don't get your hopes up/don't be delusional" genre which, I think, miss the point.
