I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

Look! Here is Duck Mama and her new clutch of tiny chicks. The ducks keep following her around begging for attention, so she's got the weirdest little parade of followers.
(Sadie is the pup, who Mama is NOT at all bothered by, by Sadie has been told to leave babies alone.)

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore."
I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT.
We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.

When someone says “the president is not a dictator” and you say “maybe soon though” I worry that that’s a akin to “obeying in advance.”
No. The president of the US is not a dictator. Even if he would like to be, we will not allow it.

Hey
during the Bush years, when empathy was at an all time low and I had no hope. Hate was so normalized
What kept me going were the people I met online.
They taught me love, community, and acceptance. They taught me I wasnt alone.
Be there for those in need, okay? Help them thru the dark place.

The woman I was pretty sure was actually my mother—wearing the body of a woman I’d had a crush on, who in turn had been wearing the identity of a woman she’d murdered, until I fell on a spike so that my boss could kill her—craned her head around in her bonds.

perhaps relevant if you care about protecting trans people
This is so fucked up.
US$29 million spent on anti-trans ads in less than a month.
I don't even know how to express how dangerous this is, how many people this puts at risk, how many lives will be lost.
