Anyone with a web browser can use MICrONS Explorer to visualize segments of the 120,000 cells packed into the cubic millimeter of mouse cortex—a specimen roughly the size of a sharp pencil point. By Katie Moisse #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/connectome/i...

Power to arrest and detain those people who are considered enemies of the state. Such people were often violently taken, questioned or imprisoned. I'm talking about the GESTAPO, of course. www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/gui...

Whoa, this is very bad. It is worse even than Orban's regime. That will ruin you, but do it via a law passed to screw you personally - STILL keeping the facade of the rule of law (and flaunting the power to tweak it as Orban wants it tweaked). This looks like (oxymoronic) lawless fascism.

This big upset over whether a trans person should or should not enter women's toilets - this is such a nonsense. How much, MUCH more important is the issue (for women!) are the LINES that form for the toilets? Now THAT is a problem. What if we just allowed... people? In PRIVATE cubicles?

Washington has a Biology problem. Politicians can hold any views they like, get their voters to agree with their views and stop all research, burn researchers at the stake, but No, Biology won't go away or confirm to the latest political tenets. And no, that is the opposite of being "political".

The unexpected sound of a #porcupine asking for food is … polite. Despite their spiky defense, porcupines are gentle herbivores and they’re surprisingly vocal. It’s common they chatter or hum when they’re hungry, especially in human care

Interesting and easy to follow take/explainer on taxes, tariffs, how they effect the poor vs the rich and what Team Trump pulled last week. (this was before they axed tariffs on Chinese electronics) www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-1s...

I'm sure somebody will come up sooner or later with an app that gets rid of other apps (if there aren't already many of these...).

What students at universities teaching science learn and keep on learning is how to separate the "results" from the "discussion". This is not nearly as simple as it may seem and it forms the basis of critical thinking (not the one preoccupied with hidden motives). www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBNt...

It's a bit reminiscent of the fire/re-hire thing they've been doing. 'We don't need this department - all fired!' 'Sir... the fissile material is now in a warehouse, anybody can take it...' 'What's a fissile..' 'Uranium, plutonium' 'Oh, re-hire them, re-hire them now!' Now: 'We don't need imports!'

This is important. Most people have been aware this is coming, and our current issues with millions running from war zones and destitutions will become hundreds of millions, possibly billions running for their lives. Not all at the same time, and not everybody will try to get to >our< country /1
