Many of the comments being "penis worms!", but no one is asking about that Red blood is only in the "majority of vertebrates" leaves me wondering which vertebrates have what other colour(s) of blood.

Edit: I have been told that it's "Crocodile Icefish" (10 species of) and colourless.

Thanks, @Marcos@discuss.technics.de

You're not too wrong.

But despite all of the inexcusable ethnic cleansing shit of the PRC they have drastically raised the standards of living of the poorest.

You'd be hard pressed to find anyone (who isn't a member of a persecuted minority or political dissident) in conditions as bad as a Brazilian favella in the PRC. Let alone a favellasworth of them.

(And to preempt, bright spots of favella culture such as community centres, art, and people succeding are despite the conditions (even if in response to them), not a sign that they're "good actually".)

Day-tah

I'd hope its to convince the government of Israel to get rid of corrupt leader Netanyahu, and to work towards an equitable two state peace agreement with an independent Palestine in the West Bank and Gaza.

Or failing that, to convince people that unconditional support of the current Israeli government is bad, actually. Something many Israeli themselves believe (not to mention non-Israeli Jews).

They identified nouns and adjectives in prairie dog communication, that also seems to vary with regional dialects. I'll try to remember to dig up a source when I'm not out and about later.

Edit: here's a not fully scientific link, but has names and links for people who want to go deeper in the science while being a decent lay person's overview.

Yes, the blog name isn't very scientific looking (I have not read anything else on it). https://thehumanevolutionblog.com/2015/08/18/a-career-studying-the-sophisticated-vocabulary-of-prairie-dogs/

And here's a peer reviewed study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0003347205801174

No science here at all, because even ignoring the liberals who love women soldiers and fighter pilots, oil riggers and builders, or how crime data correlates much better with economics than race (and the same ethnicities vary in crime rates from country to country) the genetic data isn't on your side either.

There's more gene variation of race in Africa than the rest of the world. And Asia is hardly a slouch when it comes to ethnicies... But I wouldn't expect a racist to recognise that.

They haven't even found more than two factors, one of which is one, for any prime number, either.

Get it together, Mathematicians.

It looks to me like the mtg image used the figure from the Cyberpunk art as the base for the second figure, and made some slight changes.

So it would be unauthorised reproduction of copyrighted artwork for profit, if I'm not mistaken. Could also be that it was mostly regurgitated by an AI and used as a base, which at this point would be even worse for Wizards' PR I reckon.

Far too real.

I'm gonna find a way to share with as many colleagues as I can.
