Moose are great swimmers, can fully submerge for 30+ sec, & dive up to 5m deep! When a moose submerges its head, the difference btwn water pressure & air pressure causes specialized structures w/in moose nostrils to seal the nose! The deeper they dive, the greater the pressure, the tighter the seal!
Quote this skeet with a random fact you love, that brings you joy, I'll start:

Otters have pockets. The skin under their armpits makes a natural fold that they keep things in.

This is a video I watch probably every three months and have for many years.

There is so much beauty and thought and human capability in the shape of our world. Even in its immense flaws.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving I'm gonna tell you part of how I deal with life.

It is understanding all the little miracles that are comparatively worthless but emotionally salient.

I go into a Waffle House and I hold that knife and I think about how recent our advanced metallurgy is. Like 70 years

Today is the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Mahna Mahna on Sesame Street. You’re familiar with it by now, of course, but... well, it never hurts to be reminded, does it?

This article states, "It wasn’t until the late 1800s that people in the pecan’s native range realized the pecan’s potential worth for income and trade." ignoring their earlier passing reference to the fact that indigenous tribes had been using them for food, medicine, and trade for *8,000 years*.
Throughout history, pecans have been overlooked, poached, cultivated and improved. Today, American trees produce hundreds of million of pounds of pecans – 80% of the world’s pecan crop. (via @us.theconversation.com)

Having unlimited access to hot, clean water is one of those invisible privileges we have that we don't even think of until we don't have them.

👀 ... giant grease balls ...
grease floats.

when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks.

the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they don’t clog the process.

listen. don’t pour grease down your drains.

Nearly the entire brussels sprouts supply in the US comes from California’s central coast.
Brussels sprouts grow upright on a tough, woody stem. This picture is a partly mechanized harvest, but a crew of workers used machetes to cut off the stalks in the field, while another worker trims off the leaves as he feeds the stalks into the machine. It's grueling work especially when it is hot.

This period will be known for the missapplication of stays - both for the failures to use them and the failures caused by their use -
A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

I recently had a Lyft driver who was an afghan national who helped the US army fight the Taliban. He was then forced to move by the US once we left but had no say in where he went. He had to leave his family behind who is still in danger. I’m sure he’ll be sent back to the taliban and likely death
It didn’t even take 6 hours.
