Hantavirus Outbreak Passengers are NOW actively disembarking in Tenerife under full biosecurity protocols.

The “patient zero” framing can be misleading scientifically. Leo may simply represent the first recognized severe case in the chain, not necessarily the exact first infected individual. There may have been asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic infections earlier that were never detected.

“Helga, you will bring to me at once the painting of The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies by Van Klomp—the original, not one of the many forgeries.”

The best story you'll watch all week: apparently the Italian town of Punta Marina in Ravenna has been suffering from a peacock "invasion" and residents are not amused. The editing alone is Primetime Emmy-worthy. Sound on. You can thank me later. 😎

Trump says anyone running for president should take a cognitive exam because you could end being stuck with a moron for years. “I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he's got a good line of crap. He gets in and all of a sudden you're stuck with a man who's a moron”

Very Important Message!! Do NOT, and I repeat do not buy plants treated with Neonicotinoids. Bees take the pollen back to the hive and feed it to the brood. This is a number one cause of the colony collapse. It's important to NOT buy these plants! Make sure to share this post!

A man marching forward, blinded by a flag. It's Banksy’s new statue appeared overnight in London’s Waterloo Place.

I’m surprised he had the balls to say any of this, but I’m glad he did!

In case anyone isn’t aware, Trump is demanding Zambia to hand over its mineral rights by end of day tomorrow or the U.S. gov’t will cut off the country’s access to the AIDS medications that are literally keeping its citizens alive. Just thought y’all should know.

The speed at which a virus spreads depends on: 1. How dense the population is 2. How dense the population is

Sir David Attenborough turns 100 next week. "Please make no mistake. Climate change is the biggest threat to security that modern humans have ever faced."

Gisteren zagen Hendrik Jan en Misja Bouwsema deze zwakke windhoos (dustdevil) nabij Castenray, Noord-Limburg. Gaaf om zo natuurkunde in de praktijk te zien: een windhoos heeft in de kern lagere luchtdruk, waardoor het plastic omhoog gezogen wordt. Wit houdt de bodem koeler.

My sister told me what happened in her biology class yesterday and it's genuinely heartwarming. Her teacher is this super tall, awkward guy who's probably in his late 40s. During a random conversation about relationships, he casually mentioned he's never been married and never really felt attracted to anyone, like ever. A girl in the class raised her hand and asked if he'd ever heard of asexuality. He looked completely confused. So three students in the class all queer started explaining what asexuality was, how it's a real orientation, and how there's a whole community of people who experience little to no sexual attraction. My sister said his face lit up. Like, this grown man looked like he was about to cry. He got genuinely excited and kept asking questions. It Turns out he'd spent his entire life thinking something was wrong with him for not feeling attraction the way everyone else seemed to. A classroom full of chaotic teenagers just gave their middle-aged teacher the most validating moment of his life. He thanked them like five times before continuing the lesson.
