Whales aren't just majestic they're climate warriors! 🐋 They store massive carbon, fertilize oceans via poop & carcasses to boost phytoplankton 90% of Earth's oxygen! and sustain marine life. Killing them for outdated whaling? Madness.Protect them to save our planet! #Endwhaling

Netanyahu: "I demand that Western governments do what is necessary to fight antisemitism“

No person on the planet has done more to fuel the rise in antisemitism than this psychopath.

Urlaubsfotos zeigen oft nur den "schönen" Moment und nicht das Leid hinter: Affen als Unterhaltung, Selfies mit und Streicheln von Wildtieren, Elefanten- und Kamelritten, Delfin- oder Orca-Shows. Viele dieser Tiere werden gefangen, isoliert, dressiert, mit Gewalt gefügig gemacht.

Not all brains age the same🧐🧠

Using whole-brain 3D imaging combined with spatial proteomics, @erturklab revealed multiple trajectories of cerebrovascular aging. A fascinating new study:

Meanwhile, the heroic doctor's torture by Israel continues. They continue to torture Dr. Hussam Abu Sefia for the crime of not abandoning his patients. Without laying charges, offering him anything resembling due process, Israel is killing him slowly. One day, everyone will say they were against this

Netanyahu's entire career for decades was based on finding an American president who would fight Iran on his behalf.

And he did.

And they both lost.

The best thing about vaccines is when they stop millions of kids dying from horrific diseases.

That's pretty damn good.

Palestine is the most well-documented genocide in history, yet the most denied.

On December 27, 1968, Apollo 8 needed to fire its engine to leave lunar orbit and return to Earth.

If the burn was wrong, the crew would never come home.

In Mission Control, a 25-year-old mathematician named Frances Northcutt, known as Poppy, had prepared the return-to-Earth calculations.

She was the first woman to work in Mission Control in a technical role.

When the burn data came back, something was off.
The numbers didn't match the expected trajectory.

She had 4 minutes to determine whether the deviation was within tolerance or whether Apollo 8 was in danger.

She ran the calculations by hand.
They were within tolerance.

She gave the go.
The crew came home.

She later went to law school and became a prominent civil rights attorney.

When asked about her time at NASA she said:
"We were just doing our jobs. Nobody thought it was unusual except the reporters."

The people who kept the astronauts alive were largely anonymous.
Most of them were young women with slide rules.
