Reno the frog

Tonight i learned that dolphins get high. Intentionally. By gently biting puffer fish to release the toxins. And then they pass the puffer fish to their dolphin friends so they can all get high together, after which they just float around near the surface. I. SHIT. YOU. NOT.

Actually flawless.

Trees take years to grow. A mature tree that's been standing for decades can be felled in minutes. That gap—between the time it takes to build something and the time it takes to destroy it—is worth sitting with. It's why thoughtful land use matters.

Well, that's good to know… #BookSky

I want to say thank you, and farewell, to Stephen Colbert before his final show this evening. But I also want to remind folks of the corruption behind his cancellation. Watch.

#worldbeeday2026 We all need a helping hand sometimes and bees understand you helping them because they help each other. Beautiful, intelligent creatures. Hoverflies and wasps are also incredibly important pollinators, but need more personal space than this guy Happy World Bee Day 💛🐝💛

Wow, this is peak bird intelligence. These birds saw someone feeding a wounded bird, so they started pretending they were also injured.

I love @motherjones.com and am grateful for actual free press. Happy anniversary 🎉

I love and respect this scientist. Carl Sagan answers a question about creation vs evolution.

Her performance gives me all the feels. Such an extraordinary talent.

This is what “multiple use management” looks like when timber wins every time. Ecological health, wildlife habitat, native plant communities all of it gets written off as competition. Link: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

World Donkey Day is celebrated annually on May 8 to recognize these intelligent, hardworking animals and raise awareness about their welfare.

Cuttlefish have a stunning ability to mimic ocean plants, changing color and texture in seconds to evade predators and catch prey. Nature’s illusionists at work!

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Seven countries now generate 100% of their electricity from renewable sources, proving the transition is not theoretical but already operational. The barrier is no longer technology, but political will, investment priorities, and the courage to move faster.

Godspeed to the Artemis II crew, and congratulations to the talented civil servants and scientists at NASA who worked so hard to make this launch a success. Without their expertise and dedication, none of this would be possible.

Happy April Fish Day (Poisson d’avril) to all who celebrate!
