At an aquarium in Japan, after closing time, some clever little otter pups help their grandpa tidy up their toys. As a reward, he gives them ice cubes

Italian photographer Valerio Minato waited six years to capture the perfect alignment of the moon, a mountain, and a basilica

This image earned NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day, recognizing Valerio Minato’s years of planning and precision.

@SenEricSchmitt It’s tragic that so much of our history is being withheld from us by Cadet Bone Spurs — we don’t know who we are as a nation, don’t know what we’re celebrating, don’t know how we got to where we are. We must remember our history and act upon it for the salvation of our democracy.

@SenEricSchmitt What we now call Memorial Day was first observed on May 1, 1865, in Charleston, SC, where thousands of newly freed Black people marched, prayed and laid flowers in gratitude to the Union soldiers whose sacrifice had helped liberate them from slavery.

@HawleyMO It’s tragic that our history is being withheld from us by Cadet Bone Spurs — we don’t know who we are as a nation, don’t know what we’re celebrating, don’t know how we got to where we are. It’s time that we learn our history and act upon it for the salvation of our democracy.

@HouseGOP @RepBobOnder So tell your president to cease his incendiary talk.

If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box.

The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year.

A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease.

Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk."

One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks.

If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different boxes) is one of the most useful single things you can do for tick exposure at the landscape scale. Match the box to the owl that lives near you.

The mouse is the problem, owls are the solution.
