Thank you for saying this: it's so valuable to have someone with your expertise in parliament. The taxation system is rigged in favour of the wealthiest and it is undermining the economy!

I'm speechless. What a tragic story

Additionally, hippos - despite being massive - have almost no fat on them. All of that impressive bulk is muscle.
2% body fat. Compare that to Elephants, which are around 8-10%, or rhinos, which are 10-20%.
The average human is around 20-40%, for reference.
They're *all* muscle.

This yard-show tradition was centuries old, but almost no outsider knew about it, this not-for-our-eyes cubism, fauvism, expressionism, surrealism, dada, abstract expressionism, pop, minimalism, graffiti, postmodern, neo-this, neo-that, neo-everything. Or proto-everything.

A little extra:
Thanks to Souls Grown Deep I have also learned so much about quilt artists and I have so much respect for them!
Each creation is so unique, in a long tradition of mothers and grandmothers -and community leaders!

Beauty tips were always peer to peer; the difference is that now the peers are intermediated by social media apps/algorithms. If anything it's more centralised than ever

Once a showman named William Banks bet her 20 pounds that she would not ride from Charing Cross to Shoreditch presenting as a man.
Not only did she win the bet, she rode flaunting a banner and blowing a trumpet.
She also rode Marocco, a famous performing horse.
In the picture, Marocco and Bankes.

That's the reason?! What is the logic?

Isn't the normal way to send it to an editor, or something?

But now Dorsey thinks that Bluesky has gone downhill due to implementing moderation, "literally repeating all the mistakes" of Twitter to appeal to corporate advertisers

I think a lot of that direction comes from Jack Dorsey, "...Bluesky had a lot of great ideas... I think the internet needs a decentralized protocol for social media. I think Elon needs it. I think X needs it. I think it removes liability for the company, to separate those layers."

I was very impressed by this work which @seanfw.bsky.social presented at UoN last week. Modelling how dopamine receptor expression gradients in the frontal cortex may facilitate working memory

Could you elaborate a little? What imaging modality is this? 🤓
