Snakebites and snake bite fatalities in Kerala were once among the highest in India, with 123 deaths recorded in 2019 alone. scroll.in/video/108653... In this week's #EcoIndia, we discuss how Kerala cut snakebite deaths while boosting conservation.

Would you like some good news? A new vaccine has just been approved for protecting koalas from chlamydia, which is one of their leading causes of death.

Videos like this should be required watching for all students (and all politicians) as basic tech ethics and media literacy. youtu.be/gKOzDU64iPA?...

The mainstreaming of far right discourse 2015 to 2025 in two pictures. The first is from a right wing troll that caused widespread outrage. The second is a supposedly serious journalist just asking questions

A jumping house mouse 🐭 Don't know what startled it, first part of video normal speed then slowed down to see that high jump. #mammals

This is some of the hardest shit I've seen in my life

For examples look up: Videos by @andrewsage.bsky.social and @ourchangingclimate.bsky.social Podcasts like Bright Green Futures and Demand Utopia Anthologies by @susankayequinn.bsky.social and @brightflame.bsky.social And more like @solarpunkstories.bsky.social and @solarpunkseed.bsky.social

I'm so sick of this. If you don't understand it, just say that. Solarpunk is barely ~10 years old. Meaning we can still decide what it is, and isn't. The idea is meant to shift focus from what can go (more) wrong with the world, towards a focus on what can go right, and how to get there.

#sleeppeeps:

just walked into the kitchen to find a spider apparently eating a chunk of cat food one of my cats had dropped out of their bowl. Not sure who was most surprised. Do you want to see them? (pics in next post)

I'm generally for the European Union, but sometimes #EU make it really hard to be a supporter. Seems like #chatcontrol is up for debate again. This cannot be allowed to pass if we want to keep any resemblance of individual privacy. Contact your MEP:s, information available here: fightchatcontrol.eu

Likening PhD holders to a (non-functional) algorithm is a form of dehumanisation & anti-intellectualism that is a bellwether for contemporary fascism. Essentially it's a typical — if not the archetypal — first step towards fascism: to dehumanise, deskill, defund, and, ultimately, fire the academics.

"It's a tragedy" that "fell like a bomb" Without warning, PM Montenegro announces closure of the Foundation for Science & Technology (FCT), shocking the science ed community. Science, in Portugal, may now be at the mercy of corporate objectives. (The Heritage Foundation is probably behind this.)

Unfortunately they may not see this as a problem at all. Their vision is to have AI so pervasive in everything that 'learning to drive the forklift' is the only thing you need to learn. You do not need to learn any math, or geography, or anything else, just how to prompt.
