Sorry, but nope. If you want to do away with birthright citizenship, let’s do it across the board-everyone has to test in. Our new commander in chief has such a shaky understanding of our history and constitution, I bet he’d fail.

What does this say about humans’ ability to cooperate and collaborate? 😬😬😬
Researchers challenged longhorn crazy ants and humans with the same task: maneuvering a T-shaped object through two consecutive open doorways. Single humans always outperformed single ants, but ant groups could beat human groups. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Totally unsurprising. Where there’s money to be made, greed will always win.
hey, look! big companies successfully used their money and influence to shift the conversation away from limiting the amount of plastic produced to focus instead on removing plastic while they continued to pump ever greater amounts back into the environment 🙃

I had a nice conversation with my Lyft driver recently and I can’t get a not-so-nice story she told me out of my head.
Her daughter (who is Black) held the door for an older white man & instead of saying thanks, he said, “Just so you know, I wouldn’t have done that for you” in an unfriendly tone.
