Friday Flower 001: Mimulus lewisii 🌸✨

Monkeyflowers are masterpieces of design with nectar-guide spots formed by an activator–inhibitor system of MYB transcription factors. These generate reaction–diffusion patterns across the ventral petal.

This is a good time to remember that Moas, Emus, and the other ratites diverged so long ago, they FLEW to different continents, and then lost the ability to fly and became giants independently. You can't just sprinkle a few variants to make one into the other.

Maps of continents breaking apart does not match the order in which flightless birds speciate, which indicates they flew over water rather than walk across a mega continent.

"I called it ethnic cleansing. But when I saw the images of starving babies in Gaza I had to upgrade my language."

By Art Spiegelman (Maus) and Joe Sacco

www.theguardian.com/world/pictur...
Comic strip-style dialogue between Spiegelman and Sacco; one panel: I called it ethnic cleansing. But when I saw the images of starving babies in Gaza I had to upgrade my language.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.

In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.
“Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right”: Meta emails unsealed A photo of Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) when he was 19. Last month, Meta admitted to torrenting a controversial large dataset known as LibGen, which includes tens of millions of pirated books. But details around the torrenting were murky until yesterday, when Meta's unredacted emails were made public for the first time. The new evidence showed that Meta torrented "at least 81.7 terabytes of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive, including at least 35.7 terabytes of data from Z-Library and LibGen," the authors' court filing said. And "Meta also previously torrented 80.6 terabytes of data from LibGen."

The largest tomb in Etruria is the Diavolino II tumulus at Vetulonia. Its diameter is 70 metres. These tombs have marvellous stone cold walling. The name "Diavolino" - Little Devil - comes from a tiny blue-green Bes figure found during the excavation. #TombTuesday

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

Smashed records.

Bluesky has been flooded with automated reply bots - they'll offer a sort of confrontational opinion as a reply. They're pretty convincing and we all need to train ourselves to not reflexively reply to all responses until we check
