Republicans have pulled their dangerous, egregious bill gutting the Endangered Species Act (ESA) from the House Floor🎉 Happy Earth Day! 🌎

This is resurfaced secret footage of the 9 missing minutes during the Kristen Welker interview and not only did it sink Trump’s defense,but it’s obvious he was in cognitive decline way back then!

Hiding behind religion, it’s disgusting, and disgraceful‼️

"I’m starting to regret that I stopped at this rest stop…” said a trucker who captured eerie howling sounds that may just be Bigfoot. You’ve gotta hear it to believe it!

Meet the Opossum. Opossums have been getting the butt end of the rumour mill for years. Often regarded as dangerous and disease filled they are nothing if not the opposite. They are seemingly immune to many things that ail humans and other wildlife including pathogens from dead or decaying animals, snake venom and Lyme disease that can be contracted from tick bites. They actually eat ticks that land on them and a single opossum can eliminate up to 4,000 ticks per week from our landscapes! An opossum, when confronted with a threat, will often hiss or bare its teeth. Or more likely, run. But if it is surprised by a predator, it will enter a catatonic state. It basically faints and is in a state of unconsciousness. The opossum has no control over this; it’s involuntary. This state can last for hours. As you can see, Opossums carry their young in their back. #WildlifePhotography #NaturePhotography #Opossum 🎦 Credit: Unknown (DM for credit).

In the 1990s, Canadian ecologist Suzanne Simard made a groundbreaking discovery that challenged everything we thought we knew about how forests work. While studying managed forests in British Columbia, she noticed something puzzling: when birch trees were removed to promote the growth of valuable Douglas firs, the firs did not flourish as expected — they actually struggled and grew more slowly. Determined to understand why, Simard traced the movement of nutrients using radioactive carbon isotopes. What she found was astonishing. Trees were actively sharing resources through vast underground fungal networks known as mycorrhizae. These delicate, thread-like fungi connect the roots of different trees across the forest floor, forming a complex web that allows the exchange of carbon, water, nutrients, and even chemical signals — sometimes between entirely different species. She discovered that older, larger trees often serve as central "hubs" or "mother trees," supporting younger saplings by redistributing vital resources and helping the entire ecosystem remain resilient. When these key trees are removed, the underground network weakens, and the health of the remaining forest declines. Simard’s research overturned the traditional Darwinian view of forests as battlegrounds of ruthless competition. Instead, she revealed a far more sophisticated reality: forests operate as highly cooperative systems where trees communicate, support one another, and even warn neighboring trees about threats like drought, disease, or insect attacks. What appears to the human eye as a silent, still forest is, in truth, a vibrant, interconnected living network — built not on isolation and rivalry, but on deep connection and mutual aid.

🍌 🤡 A senator just tried to walk the administration into a basic reality check using the most harmless object in capitalism: a banana. “Tariff on bananas?” “Ten percent.” Then comes the part where real life rudely interrupts the talking points. Walmart has already pushed banana prices up 8 percent, which is exactly what you would expect when you tax an import-heavy staple and the cost ripples straight to the shelf. The response, though, is peak slogan economy: “Build in America and there’s no tariff.” Great. Fantastic. Inspirational. Also, bananas are not an app. You cannot onshore a tropical fruit into Ohio through grit, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony. So the exchange lands where it has to land: the policy pitch is “just make it in America,” but the product is literally “grown near the equator.” In other words, the tariff is not a clever negotiating tool in this case. It is just an added cost dressed up as patriotism, with a straight face and no banana plan.

My Grandparents Were Married For 60 Years. One Day I Asked My Grandfather: “What’s The Secret To Loving The Same Woman For A Lifetime?” He didn’t laugh. He didn’t say “communication.” He didn’t say “date nights.” He looked at my grandmother, who was in the kitchen, and said: “You don’t love the same woman.” That confused me. He said, “She changes every few years. And if you don’t update the way you love her, you lose her.” He told me the girl he married at 22 wasn’t the same woman at 30. Motherhood changed her. Loss changed her. Time changed her. “At 40,” he said, “she needed respect more than romance. At 50, she needed partnership more than passion. At 60, she needed presence more than promises.” And every time she changed, he had a choice: Complain that she’s “not like she used to be.” Or learn her again. He said the biggest mistake men make is this: They fall in love once. Then stop paying attention. “Loving a woman for a lifetime,” he told me, “is deciding to stay curious about her.” Not assuming you know her. Not freezing her in the version you met. He leaned back and said something I’ll never forget: “If you stop studying her, someone else eventually will.” Sixty years. Not because it was easy. Because he kept relearning her.

I’ll bet it’s closer to 67%

Kulning, also known as Nordic herding calls, is an ancient Scandinavian vocal tradition and work song. Primarily performed by women, kulning is used to call livestock such as cows, goats, and sheep down from high mountain pastures where they have been grazing during the day.

This tiny speck about half the size of a grain of rice contained a staggering 57,000 cells, 230 mm of blood vessels, and 150 million synapses. The project required a decade of work and generated 1.4 petabytes of data (equivalent to 14,000 4K movies) just to capture this single cubic millimeter at nanoscale resolution
