I'm not gonna lie... When I first saw this, I thought this was a joke.🤯
Then I found out it's actually Nina Hagen.
If you've never heard of her, imagine punk rock, opera, heavy metal, performance art, and then somehow put all of that into one person.
The crazy part is that this wasn't some internet character trying to go viral. Nina Hagen was doing this decades before social media even existed.
Love it or hate it, you definitely won't forget it.
Have you ever seen Nina Hagen before?
On this day in 1967, Jimi Hendrix performed a cover of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” at London’s Saville Theatre just days after its release, with Paul McCartney and George Harrison in the audience.
El milagro de la vida.
En los caballitos de mar, es el macho quien queda "embarazado" y da a luz. Durante el cortejo, la hembra transfiere sus óvulos a una bolsa incubadora que el macho tiene en su abdomen. El macho fertiliza los óvulos ahí mismo y los incuba durante un periodo que va de 2 a 4 semanas. La bolsa actúa como un útero, proporcionando a los embriones oxígeno, nutrientes y un ambiente protegido. El macho libera a las crías contrayendo su abdomen de forma rítmica para expulsar cientos, o incluso miles, de pequeños alevines al agua.

Sonny Rollins was the last surviving musician from “A Great Day in Harlem”, the iconic 1958 photograph by Art Kane that brought together dozens of jazz legends in Harlem.
I love that David Bowie's and Brian May's reactions were captured when Annie Lennox gives it everything, and that George Michael singing along in the back! Fantastic video and the very best music.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2 https://t.co/6AGmFrB7x4
Nobody merged fashion, art, and rock and roll quite like David Bowie. Here is a stunning candid portrait taken by his official photographer Mick Rock in 1973. It is such a cool, quiet moment captured right in the middle of all the Ziggy Stardust madness. What is your absolute favorite David Bowie album from the 1970s?
Can we make May 2nd a holiday already?

Sci-Hub acaba de dar un nuevo golpe al mundo académico: ahora suma IA con Sci-Bot, un sistema que responde preguntas usando millones de papers completos. La guerra entre ciencia abierta y paywalls acaba de entrar en otra fase.
Academia feels increasingly like playing Monkey Island, if you miss something as absurd as picking up a rubber chicken with a pulley in the first scene, you only realize much later that you’re stuck and can’t pass to the next stage.
I was interviewed today by @ScienceMagazine about the funding crisis following the ERC announcement. I argued that when a grant rejection can hinge on something small, and you then have to wait years to resubmit, the cost becomes so high that instead of suggesting “high-risk high-gain” plans scientists will prepare more cautious, less ambitious proposals. It turns into a perverse game of simplifying your ideas and trying (unsuccessfully) to predict what an overstretched reviewer pool will find easiest to digest.

Se le conoce como murmuración, y es uno de los ballets más increíbles de la naturaleza. Cientos de aves se mueven como un solo organismo, cambiando de dirección en milisegundos para protegerse de depredadores o simplemente para comunicarse.
