Kimalaiset ratkaisevat ongelmia kuin kädelliset – uusi tutkimus haastaa käsityksiä eläinten älykkyydestä
Uusi tutkimus osoittaa, että kimalaiset pystyvät ratkaisemaan ongelmia, joita ne eivät ole aiemmin kohdanneet. Tulos haastaa käsityksen, jonka mukaan spontaani ongelmanratkaisu on vain ihmisten ja muiden suuriaivoisten selkärankaisten ominaisuus.

Sonnet 008 - VIII
Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy:
Why lov'st thou that which thou receiv'st not gladly,
Or else receiv'st with pleasure thine annoy?
If the true concord of well-tuned sounds,
By unions married, do offend thine ear,
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear.
Mark how one string, sweet husband to …

"PublicSquare, the MAGA-branded marketplace that launched with Donald Trump Jr. chanting "USA, USA" on the New York Stock Exchange floor in 2023, has all but collapsed, and the president's eldest son cashed fat checks the entire way down. [I]ts stock has cratered a jaw-dropping 99%. The New York Stock Exchange has also warned it may delist the company because of its poor performance."

The Maine Democratic party has landed on hosting a nominating convention,
which will include 500 delegates elected proportionally by county committees
and a preexisting 100-person state committee.
Together, those 600 delegates will decide which of the many potential Platner replacements will face Republican Senator Susan Collins in November.
They have until July 27 to officially nominate Platner’s opponent.
To be eligible for nomination, candidates must garne…

The Race to Replace Graham Platner Is Heating Up
Maine Democrats plan to stage a nominating convention to select their Senate nominee. They’ve already got a lot of options.

What that change looks like in Minnesota:
In Dec–Jan, roving kidnapping squads roared around the city, wearing masks and Bass Pro DIY tactical costumes, smashing car windows and dragging random brown people straight out of their cars in broad daylight, •wanting• to be filmed and relishing the terror.
Now they go to some outer suburb that's less dense and has fewer eyes and execute a swift, well-organized raid to kidnap a whole roofing crew mid-job before anybody can arrive with a camera.

Visited Burpee's Fordhook Farm yesterday in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. I couldn't stop gazing with envy at the tomatoes. Almost all in the 8-foot range, packed with clusters of huge fruit, and showing zero signs of senescing. I'm assuming the automatic watering system is the secret. #tomatoes #gardening #burpee #doylestown #pennsylvania #seeds

My haul from Waterstones this morning. I went specifically looking for Body Work so was delighted to find it. I didn't mean to buy the two other books. I was initially drawn in by the lovely covers, then the 'buy one get one half price' stickers. I've enjoyed many Japanese novels in translation, starting with The Makioka Sisters by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki a few years ago.
