So sad. Grand Canyon Lodge was one of the best lodges in any national park.

Trees make everything better.

This might sound crazy - it is not crazy.

Lee Kuan Yew talks at great length throughout his memoirs on building Singapore about trees specifically, trees *as such*, being harbingers and indicators and inspirers of great things:

people freaking out about photoshop’s new editing features should check out old analog darkroom print notes. Photography has *always* been mediated by heavy editing

I would have gone with “Leopards are gravity-defying slam dunk monkey death machines”

Leopards are not only opportunistic but versatile hunters.

New Science paper argues horses came to the Americas earlier than previously thought—a conclusion that, if it holds up, rewrites the history of the N. American West. Strikingly, the article is from a team of archaeologists, geneticists, and Lakota researchers and elders. 1/15

This 1984 depiction of humans exposed to the internet is shockingly accurate.

@adamtaggart Talked on the phone to Treasury Direct. They said gifting someone in 2022 who has already contributed 10k in 2022, then transferring the gift Jan 1, 2023 will not work bc the 2022 limit has already been reached. The $ will simply be sent back to the account.

Fact check: missing context.

Even though Jerome Powell and the Carlyle Group would like to do that, they can’t because it’s a national park.

[Rudy Havenstein, Senior Markets Commentator. @RudyHavenstein]

Jerome Powell explaining to Lael Brainard and John Williams how the Carlyle Group is going to buy up these mountains, load them up with tons of unsustainable cheap debt, pay out massive dividend distributions to the partners, and then file for bankruptcy.

Idly wondering what John Bender and Claire Standish would think of this insect...

[Be the change you want to be @AgBioWorld]

Giant Malaysian Katydid. Sound on! Arachnacris corporalis is native to Malaysia, one of the largest insects, 25 cm (10 in) wingspan. Males have the largest testes of any known animal, 14% of overall body weight— like 200lb man having 28 lbs testes

Bloody typical, I just found this 250 million year old pink Himalayan sea-salt at the back of the pantry and it expired in 2019!
