The adorable Venezuelan poodle moth was discovered and photographed in 2009 by Dr. Arthur Anker. It’s supposedly the only sighting of this critter, but insects are small and Earth is big. #nature #photography
Just imagine the diversity of species we haven’t found yet…

Meanwhile, while Musk and his pals are rewriting history, he’s actively letting thousands of banned right-wing extremists back onto the platform while explicitly targeting left-wing users that the far-right wants ejected from Twitter.
The response shouldn’t be to go on about free speech and open debate. That’s a narrative that serves the right. We need to recognize that this is a power game that the right has been winning for a while, and this is the latest phase.

An anonymous emailer to the popular Ask a Manager website shared a number of previously unknown details of the chaos inside the company following Elon Musk's acquisition of the platform.
Among them is the revelation that Musk's lawyer Alex Spiro told teams "how Elon had launched rockets before, so we should trust his vision."

Among them is the revelation that Musk's lawyer Alex Spiro told teams "how Elon had launched rockets before, so we should trust his vision."
"People started asking more questions, and then one employee started getting visibly upset and started having a panic attack — she was crying and was on the floor. Alex didn’t know how to handle the situation so pretty much ignored her and the conversation essentially ended at that point."
According to the correspondent, those who decided to stay at the company "were mainly people who needed healthcare, were about to go on maternity/paternity leave/etc."

Mom owns an antique store: i work in tech. When i was growing up i made fun of my mom's business voicemail, which repeated her open hours twice and specified what goes in a message. These days i put deadlines in the subject of an email, then in the email twice — once in the overview, again in the action item. I also tell recipients exactly what i want to know in their subject and body of reply. Mama i get it now

Since #COVID, #RSV and #flu are spreading a lot, I figured I’d re-share it.
