I studied astrophysics, I am a programmer, and I probably should have been a zoologist.
I do not eat animals.
Worked on https://perkeep.org , https://github.com/traefik/yaegi , and now at https://arribada.org

Quelle est la biomasse totale de tous les mammifères sur Terre et son évolution depuis 150 ans ?

Si celle des océans et des animaux sauvages a sensiblement baissée, la biomasse correspondant aux humains et au bétail a littéralement explosé (95% de la biomasse totale)

www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Les chiffres noirs indiquent les estimations de biomasse absolue, les chiffres gris indiquent la fraction de la biomasse totale estimée des mammifères En haut : la biomasse totale des humains et des mammifères domestiques (bovins, buffles, porcs et autres). En bas : la biomasse totale des mammifères marins sauvages, ainsi qu’une estimation de la biomasse totale des mammifères terrestres sauvages.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

🖤 #JaneGoodall a largement contribué à faire redescendre Homo sapiens de son piédestal et à lutter contre l'anthropodéni, qui consiste à nier que les autres animaux aussi sont dotés d'une #conscience et d'une personnalité.

Elle vient de s'éteindre à 91 ans.
Visuel carré dans les tons de rose fuchsia et violet, montrant une photo de Jane Goodall et disant : "J’aimerais qu’on se rappelle de moi comme de quelqu’un ayant aidé les gens à faire preuve d’un peu d’humilité et à réaliser que nous ne sommes pas séparés du règne animal, mais que nous en faisons partie. Jane Goodall, Éthologue, anthropologue et militante, Entretien avec Ira Flatow, 2002"

Les animaux sont contents dans les zoos, explique cette spécialiste👇

La « communication animale » est une escroquerie parfois utilisée contre l’intérêt des animaux.

Ce genre de bullshit New Age prospère, on trouve partout des génies qui vendent ainsi leurs services.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

To my 10th grade English teacher, who said, “Make the conclusion count.”
A screenshot of the last paragraph of the letter to AG Bondi: On behalf of the people of Boston, and in solidarity with the cities and communities targeted by this federal administration for our refusal to bow down to unconstitutional threats and unlawful coercion, we affirm our support for each other and for our democracy. Boston will never back down from being a beacon of freedom, and a home for everyone. Sincerely, Michelle Wu Mayor of Boston

The ex-DOGE staffer “Big Balls” may receive the highest civilian honor in the U.S., placing him in the company of Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa.
White House May Award ‘Big Balls’ Same Medal as Rosa Parks
The move would appeal to Trump’s MAGA base.
