It's #FunFactFriday! Did you know that Harbour Porpoises have a serrated edge on the front of their dorsal fins? This helps increase their aerodynamics when they are travelling!

Measuring up to 6.5 in (16.5 cm) long, the titan beetle can grow larger than a mouse and has mandibles strong enough to snap a pencil in half. This enormous insect can be found in tropical rainforests in parts of South America.

On this day in 1929, the Niagara Falls Treaty was signed between Canada and the United States. It pledged to preserve the natural beauty of the falls by improving water distribution, setting minimum flow requirements, and limiting controlled diversions for power generation.

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

The automated sexual abuse that Musk is doing right now should be national news. People should be going to prison for this shit. The logical conclusion to generative image creation and the internet, pure public automatic violence. Every Pizzagate fear just out in the open.

if you still use Twitter please understand that you are enabling and supporting this.
It’s only going to get worse, so you may as well leave now and start rebuilding your “following” anywhere else.

For the last few days on X, people (mainly women, and sometimes children) have had nonconsensual images of them in swimsuits (or much worse) requested by users and created by Grok.
Musk's only apparent response thus far has been to crack jokes about it.

YES!!! I'm struck by how individualistic so many people are and I studied anthropology! Learn to care more about people other than yourself!
