Have you ever seen an oak tree dance?

Britain is full of 'lost' rainforests, predominantly in the southwest and northwest of England, west Wales and the west coast of Scotland. There are other areas where the conditions are perfect too, like this one in the Peak District National Park.

When the rain starts and the cloud base drops into the rainforest, the trees come alive. Everywhere you look, there is magic and mystery.

Hello: has any scientist on here abandoned Twitter for Mastodon entirely? I’m looking to speak to you for a story I’m writing

from @micahflee, about twitter's recent ban of antifascist activist @chadloder.

elon specifically asked andy ngo to send him "antifa accounts" that should be suspended. chad loder was banned shortly after. ngo had previously tried to have loder suspended from twitter, and had even become involved in a legal battle to try to force them to stop reporting on a January 6 insurrectionist.

@marcelias As folks will tell you, put your mastodon address in your Twitter bio and the programs -- debirdify, movetodon -- will find you. Also, I'd actively promote on Twitter the wonderful time you're having here. Convince them it's not hard. I hope this might be helpful to your friends there. https://medium.com/whither-news/on-joining-mastodon-d539eed5e41a

Savoring the last few hours of a long weekend and mildly annoyed with illustrator precision and browser-aliasing issues

@Gal_suburban
Without the cooperation of the #Pentagon, neither Plan A involving a DNI report, USAID, and the #NationalGuard, or Plan B, involving a violent insurrection of the #Capitol Building to murder politicians would have been feasible.

So Mike Flynn had Donald Trump decapitate the civilian leadership at #DOD and install operatives willing to execute a coup: #Ezra Cohen, #Kash Patel and Christopher Miller.

3Blue1Brown dropped a new video on convolutions over the weekend.
As always, it's great, because of course it is. A nice intro to fourier convolution too.

I just donated to Mathstodon on Ko-Fi. I really appreciate the hard work that @ColinTheMathmo and @christianp have been putting in (for years!) to build and maintain Mathstodon, and especially the work they are doing now to continually solve problems and make adjustments in this rapidly changing space. Thank you both!

I’m dismayed by the amount of post-election reporting that focuses on tactics (blunders, maneuvering, infighting), to explain the “surprising,” “improbable” Democratic success. The “surprise” framing absolves the political press from guilt for swallowing a red wave propaganda campaign from GOP operatives and pollers.

And what if Republicans did badly because voters don’t want what they’re selling? Maybe policy choices matter.

@EJDionne does much better:
