“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

Did you know that the word billion starts with the letter B? Crazy, I know. Just wait 'til you here about the word trillion.

This is incredible.

While mixing up some potting soil I stirred up this critter bone (2 inches Long). Rest of skeleton was sadly absent.

The term “Impressionism” started as an insult. In 1874, Monet exhibited Impression, Sunrise alongside works by his contemporaries. Critic Louis Leroy mocked the show, calling the paintings “mere impressions.”

New doormat!

We released a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,600 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who declined to identify former clients.

Imagine you're shrunk down to amoeba size & could observe a tiny plant root under the soil. The first thing you might notice is that the root isn't all plant cells. Both inside & outside the root are symbiotic fungal cells (grey in photo) in close association, working together. (🔬:Eye of Science)
