Why do organisms exhibit behavior?

[Malcolm Harris @BigMeanInternet]

As with Zionism I expect we will come to understand the so-called moderate position as extreme, which will leave its proponents little to argue, as their whole pitch is based around their own reasonable moderation.

Rumeysa has been my student, collaegue, friend for over a decade. She does not carry a hateful bone in her body let alone being antisemitic.

I wholeheartedly vouch for her and unless we speak up, these horrific events will continue to happen!

Public buses are the greatest threat to cyclists on the road, but y’all ain’t ready for that conversation

[Nikhil @ncsoil]

Radiohead and u2 are similar bands, maybe even the same band. There’s been a massive government psy op to convince music “fans” that Radiohead is more sophisticated. This is actually quite well known

Okay, Concord MA is really just showing off with this “local authors” shelf

Is there a link between #ClimateChange & increasing risk/severity of #wildfire in California--including the still-unfolding disaster? Yes. Is climate change the only factor at play? No, of course not. So what's really going on? [Thread] #CAfire #CAwx #LAfires https://t.co/MRr4F9Q6ej

@1929stockcrash Much respect. Hope you and your fam are staying safe, will be thinking of y’all

[Nikhil @ncsoil]

@1929stockcrash Yeah, I see why it’s scary, especially if you’re in the neighborhood. But I also see a narrative going around like homeless people or whatever are starting the fires, and it’s concerning to see pics like this of a guy who could be doing anything used to prop that up

[Nikhil @ncsoil]

@sighswoon Are you confused about why global warming increases wildfire risk, or do you understand why and just think the effects are negligible, or do you think warming is not happening?

What are the emissions implications of door dash? Seems bad cause people order food from places far enough away they wouldn’t go there by themselves

@PetreRaleigh I dunno, I think the music list especially (more so than the movies) lacks a consistency of POV that would be associated with an individual person’s tastes

When I was a kid, there was only one movie on the plane. Now, there’s dozens of movies. In twenty years, will there be thousands of movies on the plane? They really didn’t need to give us all those movies on the plane, but they did anyway. Shoutout to the airlines

Awesome find today

If you're at #AGU24 check out Harvard thesis student Ian Palk's talk on root exudation response to climate change tomorrow morning. This project was a huge undertaking including hundreds of in situ exudation measurements at several global change experiments across multiple years
