Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ability to perceive geometric regularity.

I hope this makes you smile as much as it did for me.

Sure. Tell Grandma to just head on over to X to sign up for her benefits.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

1/ As promised, a 🧵on an interview with Richard Webby at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. He's been studying avian influenza viruses since they first started popping up in people nearly three decades ago. The article is behind a pay wall, so that's why I'm making a 🧵about it.

He wasn't in his caucus. He wasn't in his cabinet. He wasn't a politician. Mark Carney isn't "Just like Justin." Pierre Poilievre WAS in Harper's caucus and cabinet. He IS "Just like Harper." #cdnpoli

PM Mark Carney 🇨🇦 "Criminals are taking advantage of irresponsible American gun laws and their weak border enforcement to bring illegal guns into Canada. Large American online platforms have become seas of racism, misogyny, antisemitism, islamophobia and hate in all its forms." #cdnpoli

#Canada must seize 'window of opportunity' to attract U.S. scientists, health-care workers: medical association Changes to immigration, licensing needed to bring 'wealth of expertise' to Canada, says Dr. Joss Reimer www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates. Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.

The White House. The actual White House. This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

Lake Ontario is a bit wild tonight.

This is incredibly dangerous. If he can get away with this he will open a flood gate of targeted investigations of private citizens. We are stepping through the looking glass of fascism in real time! Congress needs to act immediately.

"Like Amazon, but with human beings."

The Supreme Court saying deportation targets must have due process (as long as they have a lawyer ready to go with a habeas suit who quickly notices an unannounced disappearing by unmarked agents) is Jim Crow stuff. You technically have rights, says the Court, you just won’t get to exercise them.

Not sure how these people sleep at night

The problem is sociopathic corporate greed. 🧐

“McDonalds workers in Denmark make more than Honda workers in Alabama” is such a key point. It’s the institutions, stupid.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

“vietnam has been very unfair to america and owes us compensation” is a wild take

Georgetown scholar Dr. Khan Suri, who was abducted by ICE, was refused food/water to break Ramadan fast, housed in a room without a bed, and issued *used* underwear. His child cried for days after he was taken and has since stopped speaking. ccrjustice.org/home/press-c...
