☄️ 🔭 The impact probability of asteroid 2024 YR4 has dropped from 2.8% to 0.16%.

Thanks to new observations, Earth is now at the edge of our shrinking ‘uncertainty window.’

If this trend continues, the risk may soon reach 0%.

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943.

Only one cat has ever received the award.

This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

The purr article on French Wikipedia has a chart that sorts cats into the groups "purrs," "uncertain," "probably purrs," and "no data"

Please, science Bluesky. I am begging. I need to know the most ridiculous looking species.

Please tell me what the weirdest little weirdos on the planet are.

Give me your weirdest animal facts.

My feeble grip on sanity is dependent on you.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

I mean why even take the risk? If one is on an international stage, one should take especial care not to wave the limbs in such a way as to closely resemble a Nazi salute. 🤷🏻‍♀️
