A figure depicting the relative abundance of different prey items among two species of felid (e.g., monkey, small bird, agouti), derived from scat. The x axis is labeled "PoO (%)."
I would like to interrupt your doomscrolling for an important announcement: This figure from Ellen Dymit et al., 2025, depicts the proportion of vertebrate prey in felid scat, recorded as a Proportion of Occurrence (PoO). 💩
They contain what now? And how did they get it, NYT? Hmm? How did they get all that information? Was it given to them, as a gift? OR.... OR....is there something else we should mention here and not wash away while you suck AI dick?
Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”
If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
this is probably the least interested i’ve ever been in paying my federal income taxes, i tell you what.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
I stole this from someone who didn’t use alt text. Alt text: a polymarket tweet that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”
of course it has anxiety, you’re training it on multiple generations of anxious peoples’ content

Appreciate the clarity
He didn't die right away, and Roosevelt went to visit him in the hospital and Cermak said to him "I'm glad it was me instead of you" and then he DID die and that's engraved on his tomb. Anyway, history is nuts.
I've driven up and down Cermak road in Chicago so many times and I knew that it was named after a former mayor but I didn't know that that mayor, Anton Cermak was SHOT by an ASSASSIN who was trying to KILL FDR, but a woman standing next to the gunman grabbed his arm and he shot Cermak instead.
ending her career lying about an orwell quote while the entire room is getting news notifications about how she’s been fired and clearly doesn’t know it, perfect
i have been to the emergency room for a dental abscess. it is a uniquely excruciating kind of pain. this man was tortured to death via medical neglect.
I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.
Good article, but the framing is wrong. There is not a dearth of interest in taxonomy. There is a scarcity of funding and positions, which is a deliberate choice by funding agencies and institutions. The youth love taxonomy! It's the olds that are failing to meet their passion!
a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.

it’s amazing how easy it is to make people believe you’re blue collar when you’re not, by the simple expedient of being a lily white man who refuses to acknowledge the existence of sunscreen
Some examples of inaccessibility:
1. Lack of Covid precautions in-person could lead immunocompromised people to stay home
2. People with mobility issues having problems getting to the place
3. Anyone with an energy limited condition trying to make it through an hours long even IRL is a challenge.

Love this thing pundits do where they pretend not to understand why students might protest Israel (a country that their school may actively be funding and therefore the protests are about trying to get their school to take action) and not Iran (a country that their school has nothing to do with).
There’s a truck blocking the sidewalk and this delivery robot has been flummoxed by it for ten minutes
this is actually a fantastic example of how the US psyche decided George W Bush was an everyday American they "want to have a beer with"
My conspiracy theory is that a significant contribution to the Ivermectin craze is that these identity groups that refuse to wash their hands or wear a mask, but chug raw milk, eat bear road kill, and snort cocaine off of toilet seats, actually did have worms and Ivermectin made them feel better.
