Hey, you: Get a load of this cloud! High-altitude ice clouds (like this one) can help regulate Earth's temperature by reflecting energy from the Sun.

A new @NASAEarth mission called PoISIR aims to study them in greater detail to improve climate forecasts. https://go.nasa.gov/3IAfgjj

"Now we'll see who wrote all this terrible code."

@stux Oh… that makes a lot of sense. I was born in Canada, but grew up on my grandparents’ farm. They had immigrated from the Netherlands to Canada when my father was a small child after WW2. They were the same. Zero respect for the natural world around them, and I could never figure that out. They came from generations of Dutch farmers so may have just brought the mind set with them.

Tiny Privacy Tip 🔒✨:

If you are ready to step up your communication’s privacy, I wrote a comparative review of 4 instant messaging services offering end-to-end encryption:

Signal, Threema, iMessage, and WhatsApp

For each I describe what data they disclose collecting, what data is encrypted, and what data is not:

Choose what suits your needs the best, but choose wisely 💬​✨

Most people probably don't know this (and why would they?):

In 2022, #CNN's parent company was bought by a right-wing billionaire. He immediately set out to transform CNN, making it appealing to right-wing extremists. That's why CNN organized a Trump rally and put it on national TV this week. It wasn't an error. It was the point.

Like you said, CNN is like a radio station that suddenly switched music formats. It's time for us to leave it now.

💖 🥺 my friend gave me this ya'll.

(Insert philosophical, introspective, emotional rant about how hard I've worked to change myself and it's changed the world around me and the company I keep and I'm starting to get to see it)

For all you non-native English speakers out there, “read” is pronounced like “lead”, and “read” is pronounced like “lead”.

Deer deliver in the strangest of places! If you find a fawn in your yard, leave it alone, do not touch, move or feed it. They have no scent and predators cannot find them unless humans interfere. Mom leaves during the day for 2 primary reasons: to feed, and to keep her scent away. Mom will return, but not until dusk and not if humans are around. If you discover the gift of a fawn enjoy the experience, and let the Mom do what comes naturally. Please share, thank you. #wildlife

👀 #TIL Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
One was called "Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person who used their power to eliminate everyone else.
Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies.
When the Parker Bros adopted the game, they erased the "Prosperity" rules and celebrated "Monopoly".
