@LynxKite Sorry for reposting this three times. I had to figure out Twitter cards and (fittingly) learn about the Open Graph protocol. Anything to get this #b3d image in your timeline!

@thisnorthernboy I've seen mating damselflies a bunch of times but never read up on the details of the process until a few days ago. Wild stuff! https://t.co/0Cq16Fas2e

@studioanisa @Ada_Palmer 's Terra Ignota is also an Iliad adaptation (among many things) and full of poetic prose. @hannu 's The Quantum Thief puts hard sci-fi entirely in the service of poetry. @jeffvandermeer 's Borne is more of a modern poem. I love all three so much.

@knexator I was so upset by it. Terrifying! Well done!

@NewoGame @lorenschmidt That's an idea! A screen before the game starts that says "adjust your brightness setting until the banding on this gradient is barely visible".

@coolranchzaku I didn't play that much but the aquifer is my fondest memory. Just let it freeze and dig through. Set up floodgates and a system of emergency drains. Run around in panic in the spring.

@Yrouel86 @TubeTimeUS Every fuse is blown, so I think that's 255. Is that more or less discernible than any other possible value?

@Johnson_Samuel_ @OnsMSaad1 The cell is destroyed ("digested") before expansion. But the gel is stained before that and the stain is what we see.

(1/5) My first paper on ants with @DanielKronauer is out! We discovered that ant pupae secrete the molting fluid, and adults and larvae drink it. Young larvae need the fluid for growth and survival, and pupae die if the fluid is not removed. Open access: https://t.co/TCAScezcEN

@WKCosmo @franco_vazza Have you seen her defense of the title?

@dangaristo I think we need a new word for what quantum computers do in these physics experiments -- they're not the kinds of simulations that classical computers do, with programmed laws; the system evolves according to the actual laws of nature. 2/2

@BlenderDev It may not be the biggest addition but I'm so happy for Menu Switch! My visemes will no longer be called 1, 2, 3, 4. Thanks!

@Matzan481_ @WKCosmo They are turning around the SOFIA results too! Go phosphine!

@SOFIAtelescope What about this:

@ToughSf A CRT but with lead as phosphor.

@lorenschmidt I don't know how important panspermia is for planetary life. But if it's important, it can be one aspect where stellar life loses. A coronal mass ejection can throw up a million tons of material, but I doubt stellar life would have spores that can survive a trip to another star.

[Daniel Darabos @DanielDarabos]

@lorenschmidt The high energies may make the smallest stable structures larger than in molecular life. But stars are incomparably huge compared to planets. And they had a head start in evolution. There were stars way before planets.

@RebeccaRHelm @MiguelMontevist I've just read this passage from @LChittka's The Mind of a Bee. To me it's unexpected but logical that emotions would be evolutionarily ancient.
