“… African lions (Panthera leo) produce two distinct types of roars: the familiar, guttural one that anchors a roaring bout… plus an overlooked “intermediary” roar that is shorter and lower-pitched than the classic full-throated version.”

Lions have a second roar that no one noticed until now
A machine learning analysis of wild lion audio reveals they have two roar types, not one. This insight might help detect where lions are declining.

Hey, so if folks are interested in Black economic thought, may I suggest the Review of Black Political Economy?
It's a journal that features lots of Black policy and economic research. It's existed since 1970. The work in this journal is under cited, but shouldn't be. #econsky #blacksky

I retired from the company that made SpaceX rocket landing legs.
SpaceX engineers did tons of research to find the perfect glue for bonding the legs. Perfect strength & it could go super hot & super cold.
Musk walked in, saw that the glue was GREEN, threw a fit, and said to find a different glue.

Just another example of Donnie Dumass’s negotiating skills.
Trump's plan for ending Russia's war reportedly requires Ukraine to:
Give up vast parts of its territory, including areas Russia has failed to capture after years of war.
Cut its military in half.
Stop receiving U.S. lethal aid.
All in exchange for a Putin promise that Russia won't invade again.

The Indian swastika is not the same as the Nazi symbol.
The Swastika is an ancient (and sacred) Hindu symbol used in India. It is a Sanskrit word that denotes “well being”. The German word for the Nazi symbol is Haken Kreuz, rotated at a 45° angle to the left.
A good dose of history.

Meaning of swastika in Buddhism and Hinduism
The word "swastika" is derived from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" (“good" or "auspicious") united with "asti" , along with the diminutive suffix "ka."

I can point you to the fact that when ABC News played its reporter's question (Mary Bruce), it cut off Trump's response to her that included his insults. Like it didn't happen. They sanitized it and normalized it. And never mentioned it.

You set the example from the top. Is it "civil" to call a fellow passenger "piggy?"
Always be kind to your fellow passengers as well as airport and airline staff.
In short: don't be like Donald Trump.

The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats.
Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation.
Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them.
It's the very least they should be doing!

I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.
