At a forest park in China's Yunnan, a white-browed gibbon named Ding Ding was enjoying a ride in a staff vehicle, sitting back like a true VIP. The relaxed little passenger turned an ordinary park drive into something straight out of Disney's "Zootopia." #China #zoo #gibbon #Yunnan #Wildlife #CuteAnimals

Vulture bees live up to their namesake by relying on rotting flesh to survive, using their unusual appetite to turn digested meat into honey.

MASSACRE DE CRISTÃOS NO CONGO: Militantes islâmicos acabam de atacar uma aldeia cristã em Ituri. Centenas de pessoas morreram. Este é o mais recente ataque de uma campanha das Forças "Democráticas" Aliadas (ADF) para aniquilar a população cristã do Congo. E, mais uma vez, o Ocidente faz cara de paisagem e permanece em silêncio.

✨🇨🇳In Nizhu River Grand Canyon, Yunnan, the local government built a 268‑meter‑tall elevator for villagers.
It is open to local residents free of charge and has become a “sky school bus” for children living in the mountains.
What used to be a three‑hour hike to school now takes just 30 minutes.

@TheEconomist The Economist is a British magazine. Itmakes sense they adopt such a hopeless POV without even trying!🙄They are part of the establishment doing absolutely nothing to stop the boats.

In a rare, decades-long study, researchers in Science have documented what appears to be the first observed “civil war” in wild chimpanzees.
The findings demonstrate that shifting social ties alone can fracture a once unified group and ignite sustained, deadly conflict among former allies. scim.ag/4dDhoHq

Salk Institute scientist Shrek Chalasani has been awarded up to $41.3 million from ARPA-H to advance a breakthrough technology he pioneered, sonogenetics, which uses ultrasound to precisely control cells within the body.
This funding will help transform the Chalasani lab’s discovery into a potential noninvasive therapy for a range of conditions, including peripheral neuropathies. By enabling targeted control of mammalian cells without surgery, sonogenetics could redefine how we treat disease.

In a new Science study, researchers describe how dynamic and reversible mitochondrial membrane constrictions, called “pearling,” spatially organize mtDNA molecules.
The findings reveal a mechanistic link between mitochondrial membrane remodeling and mtDNA biology.

The specialized arm that male octopuses use for mating is also a sensory organ that can detect the ovarian hormone progesterone, according to a new Science study.
The researchers say the dual-purpose organ offers an example of how sensory adaptations may shape reproductive behavior in ways that can contribute to speciation.

@Suzan_Cuul @XHNews and because you love cats unconditionally you think their results are good news. The study doesn't suggest that. Also it's for Izmar not Istanbul, oh and the low # of 15% means there are 150,000 infected cats spreading toxo in Istanbul to all other warm-blooded animals.🙄

@jonincentex_ @XHNews If you took off your hate goggles, you could have done a simple Google search yourself: toxoplasmosis in Istanbul is present (21–43%), and only 14% of cats contribute to infection.

@k__bayraktar @XHNews It's a parasite where cats are the definitive host and which cats spread widely. Many cases of human mental illness are due the parasites ability to alter brain function in infected people which in the past would make them easier prey for large felines.

"The result is I'm a 23-year old gay man who's never had an orgasm and may never experience one. Let that sink in."
Jonni Skinner tells the California legislature's judiciary committee how he was puberty blocked, dosed with estrogen and rendered anorgasmic as a minor by gender clinicians that never inquired into the source of his gender confusion as a child and instead put him on a pipeline to a lifetime of medicalization.
Full text of his comments below:
"When I was young, I was a feminine child, and I discovered trans influencers online. They said: 'Change your body and your life gets better. Don't and it gets worse.'
Or, as my doctors told my mom, I would commit suicide.
The medical and mental health providers didn't bother to ask why I felt the way I did. They poisoned my body with blockers and hormones, arresting my puberty and messing with my development. The result is I'm a 23 year old gay man who's never had an orgasm and may never experience one. Let that sink in.
I was rendered anorgasmic because once you say you could be trans, that's a full stop -- no exploration as to why is allowed, even if you are struggling.
The former president of WPATH, Dr Marcy Bowers, the California surgeon who had performed the surgery for Jazz Jennings at 17, admitted on video that puberty blockers, followed by cross sex hormones, results in no orgasms and stunted genitals. SB, 934 guarantees that more people will end up like me, the walking but wounded.
I could have been spared all of this, if any of my therapists would have explored why I felt dysphoric. But they never did. They only led me to hate my body more.
The Supreme Court just ruled in a rare bipartisan decision that laws like this are unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination. This bill is an attempted workaround that will be used to silence therapists who could have helped me avoid the irreversible harms to my body and the loss of my sexual function as is the same for many others. So today, I ask you to extend some empathy to survivors like me and vote no for this bill."

@elonmusk But only one is valid and deserves to be preserved preferably by melting down that spacecraft and reburying the metals in the ground so the saintly tribal folk can get back to being one with nature and being nature's custodians of the wilderness😅😂🤣

A new visa attack on America workers has come to light. The proposed H–2C work visa would import a large number of foreign construction workers, servers, and hotel maids. Wait until you see the cosponsors!!!

Stephen “The Yellow Dart” Schutt@schuttsm
Take a look at this bill to introduce a new visa category, called H2C, that will bring in 500,000 construction workers This explains why Mike Rowe was pushing people to go into the trades so hard "there's a shortage of workers, they're making $260k" he said
