@RavensTalkPod Yes but Chiefs invested into macro nano technology to insert nanobots, horse piss/semen, and hydrocartilage into his knee to fix his ACL as soon as possible.....Mahomes is back and he is now 17.38% bionic

A solar farm in Minnesota planted native wildflowers between its panel rows. Five years later, total insect populations tripled. Native bees increased 20-fold.
Not only did insect populations boom, soybean fields next to the solar arrays got twice as many bee visits as fields farther away.
Two of the things we usually think of as competing turned out to reinforce each other.
One study, published in Environmental Research Letters in late 2024, tracked two utility-scale solar sites built on retired farmland in southern Minnesota, where the developer seeded native prairie species between rows of panels in 2018.
By 2022, the sites looked less like industrial energy infrastructure and more like remnant prairie.
Goldenrod soldier beetles colonized the goldenrod stands. Bumblebees nested in the soil. Monarch butterflies passed through during migration. The wildflower diversity grew sevenfold; insect diversity grew eightfold.
This matters because, like it or not, utility-scale solar is going to take up real space. The US is on track to cover roughly six million acres in panels by 2050.
The default approach is turfgrass, gravel, or herbicide-maintained bare ground, which is ecologically dead.
The Argonne study shows the alternative isn't more expensive or harder to maintain. It's just a different seed mix.

@PCBearcat This is absolutely what is happening. It’s…. so hard to watch over and over

@J810Anderson 1. You knew he wouldn’t.

It is a crime against the working class that this isn’t true in every state.

🚨 New Mexico has become the first state to make public universities tuition free for all. Nearly every state Republican tried to block this change.

NEWS: Massive budget cuts for US science proposed again by Trump administration
"It's an extinction-level event for science".
The US government is proposing massive cuts to almost every branch of science, from NASA to the National Institutes of Health. NSF would completely eliminate the social, economic and behavioral sciences directorate.
This would decimate the world's leading scientific system.

U.S. bioscience research is collapsing.
This is the map of a systemic rot.
NIH new award pace this year: 14.6% of normal.
If you wanted to stall science, you don't pick & choose states.
You just freeze the entire map.
In case you missed it:
▫️ ~95,000 scientists gone (@nytimes)
▪️ ~$2.4B in NIH research wiped out
▫️ ~$6B in economic loss (@DrCatharineY / PNAS)
This is what (predictably) follows next:
⇣ early-career scientists exit for good
⇣ breakthrough discoveries never made
⇣ trials that never open
⇣ labs that quietly shut down
⇣ global talent choosing other countries
⇣ the next decade of innovation erased before it starts
Sadly, you don’t "bounce back" from 14%
you just hollow out the system.
For a country that leads in science, this is the mo(u)rning after “National Science Appreciation Day”
