There are zero unregistered immigrants in the Epstein Files.
There are 27 billionaires in the Epstein Files.
Really sucks Republicans took IRS Free File away just so Turbo Tax can make money off something we shouldn’t have to do in the first place
“Piracy is the most effective form of artistic distribution these days. So be it.”
-Werner Herzog on NPR just now 🔥
Werner Herzog also once described billionaires thusly:
They take all they can.
That is all that they are.
And it will never, ever be enough.

Ohh Francisco Estivallet made an interactive version of this you can play with. He made it during our "Ferestec" catalonian Nature Hacking weekend this past weekend!

a lot of insects all packed in together from insect data
Been experimenting again with ways of automatically visualizing the data we collect with the Mothbox.
New ones are doing shape packing instead of just rectangle packing and it makes it feel a bit more organic (i like how the bugs fill in the gaps between the big cicada for instance).
#SciArt
THAT"S COOL! Have fun buds!!!

this has been a reason we have never had a dinacon in the US :/
Did you know the amazingly awesome Open Hardware Summit is coming up in Berlin? May 23-24!?
We will even do a workshop making Mothboxes there!
@oshwassociation.bsky.social is a terrific organization that will help you join regardless of your ability to pay for tix! Get tix now!

this is super cool! The pink katydid all by itself would be one thing, but the gradual shift to green? amazing
Fuck you Pixar
"There is more about venous valves used to get blood to the wing— but honestly I haven’t found anything that seems to say exactly that"
My bat scientist friend said:
"Hm, yeah, I’ve heard that said, but I’ve never looked into the original literature.
A quick scan didn’t bring up much- their heart orientation seems like it’s different to compensate for different direction of gravity? www.researchgate.net/publication/... "
This past week's moth in #YearOfTheMoth is the VAMPIRE MOTH!
It has a sharp snout for drinking juice from fruits, but males evolved to suck mammal blood to collect salt which they then give to females through their sperm! #sciArt

Imagine all the cool, fast trains we could have with the billions we spend on bombs.
no they just pressed a button and they open like star trek wants you to think! barcelona!
I went to a crazy generative art gallery tonight, but the hands down coolest part was how they had to open up one of the screens to get to the little utility room behind it
person holding a frog that's real big with sharp nipples
Did you know that Smokey Jungle Frogs have vicious attack nipples they use to fight competitors and defend against predators? #lifegoals
We sampled ~8000 insects along two large elevational gradients and tested their thermal tolerance. Upper thermal limits declined with elevation and more closely related taxa had similar limits. Lowland insects did not show plasticity to adapt to higher temperatures.

Macro photograph, in top view, of two insects standing on a cluster of small, 4-petalled white flowers. Both insects have a red head and thorax and black at their back ends. The beetle on the right is slightly broader, and has a narrow white line separating the red and black parts of its body, as to suggest a narrow ant waist.

I have deployed and run infra since the noughts, through some wild turns in geo/techno-political history, and will say that now more than ever, #selfhosting is an act of resistance.
Depopulate. Defund. Disempower.
That was the most confusing thing to me. He had this thing our country was set up to be the leader in fighting that everyone could rally around and i was genuinely worried that would happen. Didn't realize how much these sickos would side with disease!
