As Amazon's 'flying rivers' weaken with tree loss, scientists warn of worsening droughts
Droughts have withered crops in Peru, fires have scorched the Amazon and hydroelectric dams in Ecuador have struggled to keep the lights on as rivers dry up.

Sounds easy, looks nice: Crossmodal transfer of auditory processing fluency to visual object preference - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics
Fluent (i.e., rapid and efficient) processing of perceptual objects is vital for humans to successfully navigate their environments. The experience of fluent processing per se tends to trigger positive affect; however, this affect is often misattributed by perceivers to the objects themselves, meaning that easy-to-perceive objects are judged more positively.

Wise words from @….
Reflecting now on how often I find myself saying “Just show up, over and over, and do some work. Don’t worry about whether it’s enough, about whether you’re going to get an A. Just show up. Do some work.”
Wanting to get really good at [software dev skill]?
Worried about passing the class?
Not sure if you’re a Real Programmer yet?
Impostor feelings?
Horrified at politics?
Wanting to saving democracy?
Feeling powerless?
Anxious? Depressed? Panicking?
Show up. Work. https://mastodon.social/@grimalkina/115481201032837751
