Binoculars finally came in the mail, went to look for the hawk and he was crouched in a tree looking back at me with slightly more expensive binoculars

90% of complaints about capitalism are complaints about the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

significant conservation efforts mean that Boeings have returned to Washington state to spawn new airplanes for the first time in decades

"In 1920 a bunch of rugged men hiked through Mars-like desert for months lugging tripods, chains, and transits, crossed 1,000 miles, and made a 300 foot error. Sitting inside in air conditioning I heap scorn on those losers by typing on a keyboard with my soft hands".

I love this photo from the Artemis II archive

The blurry hand of someone who has travelled further from Earth than anyone in history

Never let them know your next move--

O físico abstrai sua ciência da natureza, esquece-se desse detalhe importante e, quando a natureza age de acordo com as leis abstraídas, impressiona-se. A aranha não precisa “conhecer a geometria” da mesma forma que nenhum ser humano precisa calcular vetor e ângulo de um movimento retilíneo uniformemente variado para simplesmente dar um passo à frente.

It’s too late. I’ve already depicted you as the current swept Ben and myself as the unfazed King Otis.

I just want you to remember. That we live in a world where octopuses dream, otters have a favorite shell that they carry with them all their lives, cows have best friends, and bees have different "dialects" of dance depending on the region. Cats purr at a frequency that accelerates bone healing, the forest grows flowers first after a fire, and dolphins give each other names and respond to them. Penguins make proposals by giving each other the most beautiful pebble

Video of myosin proteins "walking" along actin. Insane that we can image this!

It was made by Toshio Ando's group using atomic force microscopy. All of their papers are a goldmine; they've also recorded a Cas9 protein cutting DNA and ATP synthase spinning.
