Lenacapavir did so well at preventing HIV infection that it hit the threshold where the only ethical thing to do was stop the randomized trial and immediately offer it to literally every participant. That's huge news. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Yes, they’re the Sakura ones. I found them at Michaels. The inks are neon green, pink, and blue under the light. 😁

Siri and Stomp like to plop down and watch me being busy cleaning and bustling about. Pretty sure I'm often some sort of entertaining human aquarium exhibit for these cutest black vulture kids (and our other birds), who seem to enjoy observing me as much as I do them.

Ever watch a Seagull try to rob an Osprey of its catch? Now you can. I watched this Osprey dive down, catch this Mackerel and not get 10 feet before being harried by this hungry gull. They continued their aerial confrontation across the bay before the Osprey got away with their meal. 🪶

Read about it again in the German news and I keep visualizing a Studio Ghibli movie scene of frogs coming to healing houses at the south sides of the edge of the forest to get an anti fungi treatment croaking about how wonderful it feels.

If you love a book, tell someone. Recommend it. Loan your copy. Send a link. Ask for it at your library. Word of mouth goes further than you think.

I needed to double check snake related deaths per year in North America and the AI right at the top all colorful and purple said 5000 deaths. I KNOW that isn't true. But there is no reason someone else should. Ppl will take the shortest path to an answer, especially if it looks correct.

Smooth moves and all the groves! Risso’s dolphins bear scars on their bodies from toothy social interactions with their own kind, and from the beaks and tentacles of their preferred prey, squid.

Wow. "four out of 16 curators lost their jobs. Three other staff members in the division took voluntary buyouts, including the manager of the fish collection—one of the largest in the world.... One of the laid off curators had an endowed position"

Focusing on presidential swing states is good and all but crucial shit is happening all over the nation at the state level and it is nearly impossible to go wrong getting involved anywhere a trans care ban or abortion ban has come down.

Journalist Moath Amarneh was released after nine months in a Zionist torture camp after they shot him in the eye despite/because of him wearing a PRESS-labeled helmet & vest. Upon being released, he told everyone to get away because he wasn't sure what diseases he was exposed to in the torture camp.
