Intelligence is the ability of the individual (or group of individuals) to better adapt, in real time, to the ever-changing circumstances in their immediate environment. *whispers - Humans aren’t actually the smartest animals on the planet by any measure of physiology/behavior.

Don't build what everyone else is building, make something new, make something crazy. Meet Mercury the first multi-modal robot-drone capable of flying, driving and carrying 1kg of payload. We started to design it a month ago and built it during the #blueprint program @fdotinc, yesterday we showcased it at the Blueprint Festival It was great to see the amazement of people that would see it transform and couldn't believe it, even better when they doubted it could fly and then checked out the video. I've never liked to just build regular robots or regular drones, there's people already doing that, so why not stand out with something that's straight out of science fiction. And this is just us getting started ...

Working-class Americans being excluded from the economy (no money, massive debt, unable to buy homes, etc) despite providing all of the labor that feeds the economy is only the beginning. The next phase will hit even harder as community services are increasingly eliminated..

Why do you think so many of us have left the Democratic party? They are not only cowards, but they are also COMPLICIT.

Unlike many snakes and invertebrates, male crocodilians get significantly larger than the females! Nile crocs are the second largest reptiles on earth, (salt water crocs are first). Gators are much smaller than nice crocs so the female, as seen here is dwarfed by one. Even though they are related, they could not mate. You can’t have a Nile crocodile as a pet, but in some places you can have an alligator as a pet. You shouldn’t though!
The size difference between a male Nile crocodile and a female alligator is unbelievable.

But also what else do you expect from democrats when the only thing the electorate has required them to be over the past decade is “not republicans?”

One more thing: for everyone wondering why Americans don’t just rise up and whatnot, it’s not just police that keep people from doing it, it is also Democrats who have conditioned the American psyche that things can only get worse, not better. Today is an example of that.

All this so they can hold healthcare over your heads for the midterms like they did with Roe V Wade—and you see what happened with that. Democrats are useless to everyone except republicans.

No, you all need to push for Medicaid for all, “Medicare for All” was language that was softened once Dems god ahold of it, disability advocates have been pushing for Medicaid for All.
Democrats need to push Medicare for All. Now.

so sick of people's response to this being "the parents should be teaching that, not schools" MOST ABUSERS ARE THE PARENTS!!!! They're not going to teach their children how to report them!
Those sex education and safety programmes in schools the far right hate, educated this little girl enough that she immediately told her mother what he did to her.

This is an Emperor penguin chick! They’re almost always only children and will spend about 70 days in the egg before hatching. After that they spend about a month and a half in between their mom’s legs in the brood pouch. They are playful and curious like many babies are! You can’t have one as a pet
Whoever gets to weigh baby penguins for a living… I hope you know how lucky you are.

Israel will tell us with a straight face that it's a leader in green energy while doing ecocide to Gaza and emitting more than 100 countries. As COP30 begins let's remember that military emissions aren't even calculated.

'Rich people live better lives" was such an epiphany they had to write an entire article about it

I got answers!! A group of baby gators is called a pod! Mama gators can lay anywhere from 20-50 eggs, but not all of them will make it! They will reuse nesting dens too! Nope they stay with their babies and protect them for a while before leaving. They also don’t need to eat super often so they aren’t going hungry like we would if we did that
@CrocodileCam I GOT QUESTIONSSSS 1. How many alligators are in one litter? 2. What’s a baby alligator called? 3. Is “litter” the right term? 4. Do they make new dens for new babies or do they reuse the same one? 5. Does she leave them in the den to hunt?

Not once in my life have I ever been concerned about so-called disability fraud. It doesn’t exist in any meaningful measure. There are millions of people who deserve disability benefits and are denied them. That concerns me.

I am far more concerned about the lack of suitable support and pay for disabled people than about fraudulent disability claims.

It’s 8th day of no SNAP benefits, and no donations yet for a Native diabetic! If we could raise $100, he could get basic groceries. Anything helps! CA: $Murd1976 #SettlerSaturday
Replying to @EmmyNawjoopinga
My brother lost his SNAP benefits and currently undergoing wound care, so unable to work, and is a Diabetic. His cashapp is $Murd1976.

Americans spend the most, have the worst outcomes, and we pay more and get less every year because the success of our healthcare industry is measured in profit, not health. Abolish private insurance. Demand universal healthcare with Medicare for All.
25% of Americans say healthcare is their top issue, only behind inflation and the cost of living
The VERY BEST experimental AI operated surgical robots (that don’t look a gd thing like a human) are only able to do linear, repetitive stitching (like finishing stitches) And are still less successful than the avg human surgeon used as a control

WTAF! This country is off the rails. Abolish ICE. Get those sadistic goons off our streets!
ICE are Trump's brownshirts. It's as simple as that.
