  Musk’s visions of the future sound like ideas he lifted from Ray Bradbury or Isaac Asimov? He’s never built anything himself and he even steals his visions of the future from famous writers. *those r paraphrases in the meme. #tech #musk #meme #sciencefiction #culture

  The Earth has endless desert sand, but it’s unsuitable for building—wind erosion makes desert grains too smooth & rounded to bind in concrete. The actual bottleneck is construction-grade sand (sharp, angular grains from rivers and seabeds). We consume 50 billion tons annually—faster than nature replenishes it. #environment #ecology #nature #science

  https://therevelator.org/fish-maw-conservation-nightmare/ Totoaba bladders contain nothing extraordinary, Type I collagen and protein. Collagen is readily available. This reminds me of the rhino horn trade. The horn is made of keratin, the same as our fingernails. #conservation #wildlife #nature #biology

  The poor sunbittern stands completely alone on the family tree. 🌳🧬 It is the sole surviving member of its entire family (Eurypygidae) and genus. Plus, despite its heron-like look and name, it’s actually more closely related to rails and cranes! Evolution really made just one of these and broke the mold. #Evolution #Ornithology #Nature #wildlife #birds

  A newly emerged butterfly assembling its feeding tube! Right after leaving the chrysalis, its proboscis is split into two separate halves-evolution has some fascinating processes-You're seeing it pump fluid through them to zip the pieces together into a single, functional straw, then clearing the leftover moisture. #nature #science #biology #insects #butterfly

  The viral red, pulsing Earth is an artistic visualization, not a literal planetary heart. The imagery uses real satellite data showing photosynthesis, plant life and vegetation health, with the rhythmic pulsing representing daily & seasonal biological cycles responding to sunlight. Earth has real natural rhythms, but the video poetically depicts its “breathing” biosphere, not a glowing heart. #science #environment #nature

  “A notable aspect of private health insurance is the absence of any reason for it to exist. It does not contain costs, expand coverage, or expedite careit makes those all worse. Its sole function is to profit as a rent-seeking middleman between patients and providers.” Max Kennerly • @maxkennerly #health #healthcare #business #greed #rent #rentier
