Sea Horse are monogamous. During mating the female transfers her unfertilized eggs into the male's pouch. The MALE carries the eggs and in active labour powerful contractions push our 2,000 or more fully independent seahorses! AMAZING!

Norm called it, so it’s official now: ebike summer begins now!

It is everyone's patriotic duty to make e-bike summer a thing this summer and for every summer that follows.

It’s really frightening.

Low candle-power, but acting like ee cummings.

Dearest shoalmates: Please consider posting a comment to the NIH regarding the Strategic Plan that includes reducing funding for animal research. Responses from the research community are currently greatly underrepresented compared w/ advocacy groups opposing animal experimentation. 🔗 below ⬇️ 1/2

Yeah boss, I think it’s bad.

Since leading a course on biodiversity with a focus on birds in Costa Rica this spring, my birding habit has pretty much become an everyday obsession (true for my spouse as well). So, today I visited the UCSC Arboretum with family and WOWZA! But also, when one really pays attention to birds... 1/n

Hell yeah! Make it $10/gal, I’m not hurting enough. California gas.

Do you live in the metro & want to help flip Minnesota's First Congressional District? Here's your chance to support @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social! ⬇️ Twin Cities residents are supporting Congressional candidates in Minnesota's red districts as we work to take back the US House this November.

At each step along the way I was told that organizations set up to protect science are 'focused on bigger issues' so won't speak out against each attack. Where has that taken us? Scientists indicted, whole fields defunded, thousands fired, a generation of future scientists lost. Speak out or die.

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

State Rep. @jasmineclarkforga.bsky.social wins the Democratic primary in the vacant #GA13, @decisiondeskhq.bsky.social projects. Clark is now poised to become the first Black woman PhD scientist to serve in Congress. My interview with her here: 19thnews.org/2026/05/geor...

An American president sues/extorts his own government, then settles with his own justice department to funnel money to his criminal allies. He will go down in history as the president who came up with forms of corruption never contemplated before.

Palo Alto--Tesla's everywhere, Dark Roast available at coffee shops, dudes with hoodies for data centers and cool birds.

These business’ owners were at Vibrant Lyndale speaking against making Lyndale more walkable and bike friendly: - Flower Bar - World Street Kitchen - Knox Jewelry - Uptown Coupon Magazine - Muddy Waters - Bloody Gorgeous - Nameste Cafe - Leaning Tower of Pizza - ZRS Fossils and Gifts - CC Club

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

This is easily the saddest time in American history. The absolute worst people are systematically destroying the country, and our system is completely failing to stop them.

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

Huge bonding wins for the MPRB! $6 million North Commons, $1.8 million for Berger Fountain, and $1.5 million for new Cedar Riverside rec center. And an additional $3.3 million for our regional park and trail system! This new board and our Leg allies are delivering for our wonderful park system!!!

Hopefully this will be archived in the Wayback Machine.

I’m pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution. And so today I’m a Democrat.

Excited to announce that we are moving the lab to Minneapolis to join the University of Minnesota Department of Microbiology & Immunology and Institute on Infectious Diseases this summer!! We will be hiring so please reach out if interested in viral evolution, viral immunology, etc.!!

Daily dumb headline from our favorite state newspaper. At least they told the story in the lede, but wow! Lucky for us, we've got folks at Minnesota Reformer keeping it real: minnesotareformer.com/briefs/hcmc-...

Roots is a bicentennial jawn so in 50 years we went from groundbreaking miniseries watched by the whole country to banning copies of the book

It's rich that Sen Minority Leader Mark Johnson is concerned about both Tab Fees and Law and Order (along with waste, fraud and abuse) because about 20% of the cars I see don't even display a front license (so no tabs displayed) even though that violates state law. Reality: MAGAs don't obey laws.

House finch, airport dog park, Minneapolis, MN. #binoblast

Authoritarian Trump praising how Communist China treats its children. The Republican Party did this. The Republican Party is the pro-Communist China party now.

#heron @everyheron.bsky.social This is from a park in Richfield, MN. A black-crowned night heron and a great blue heron. Someone got them in this pose on the same branch. www.facebook.com/share/p/18Q9...

saw some nice migrants early this morning by Minnehaha Creek in Minneapolis (highlights were Rose-breasted grosbeak, Wood thrush, a dozen warbler spp) & tonight's migration looks *insane.* Will be out tomorrow morning too - I think the warblers will be dripping from the trees 🪶

Minnesota is at the center of...BIRD MIGRATION tonight (sharing the peak numbers with Iowa mostly. This map shows predictions for the tonight (5/13) about 3 hours after sunset. Turn the yard lights off if you can. #birds #Birds

These companies have no idea how much everyone is going to hate them even more than they already do

I am calling on @amyklobuchar.com to stand up for science. As the next likely Governor of Minnesota, you will need to be a leader on rebuilding the US Scientific Enterprise that has been decimated over the past 15 months. What is your plan? minnesotareformer.com/2026/05/13/s...

Some #birds #Birds I saw this morning at Thompson County Park in West Saint Paul, MN. The warblers are here and a walk around the lake is a real treat. #binoblast, but I cropped them all.

I published a thing. The folks at @minnesotareformer.com are doing us a service so keep them in mind and support them if you can. minnesotareformer.com/2026/05/13/s...

“Officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”

We've reached the "dead-link to Grokopedia reference in the bibliography stage of student paper submissions" phase of human development. 🤮

Here’s a list I shared with my students of fun neuroscience books and movies to keep busy over the summer: tab=t.0

Anyone concerned about the safety of this should contact the project team, yes, but also (and maybe more important) the Hennepin County Toward Zero Deaths team beheardhennepin.org/toward-zero-...

Bay Area birders. I am planning to visit Baylands Nature Preserve next week. Any other spots I should check out near Palo Alto? #birds #Birds

This proposal is absolute bullshit. It will neither calm traffic nor make Cedar safer for pedestrians or bikes. Please take the survey and email the PM and planner. beheardhennepin.org/cedar-avenue

Hi! I'm Nick Benson, and I'm running as a progressive for Burnsville City Council. You might know me from my ICE monitoring efforts - watching flights at MSP and crowd-sourcing dash cams for observers. If able, I'd sure appreciate your support, thanks! bensonforburnsville.com
