Among the 7,000+ crab species worldwide, hermit crabs have developed fascinating cooperative behavior for shell exchanges.
When one crab finds an oversized shell, others line up by size to create a housing chain—each crab upgrades to a better fit as the largest claims the biggest shell.

Just realized Candy Crush is the reason we have games like Concord and Suicide Squad

"Seen his way, all civilization is an attempt to make waste disappear—but, like any repression, waste returns in fantastical forms."

I truly don't understand why people park their cars, open the door, then spend a few minutes carefully dumping all their takeout garbage onto the ground. This pic is just one example in the parking area at my YMCA. Probably about a dozen dump sites per day so not a rare behavior at all. What's going on?? #gym #littering #garbage #ymca #pennsylvania #takeout #food #trash
Fellow hikers and outdoor lovers - let's declare war on litter in our green spaces and waterways. These little fellas will thank you for it.
An immigrant reality TV show? This is where Homeland Security is going? Pathetic and sickening.

How a Changing Climate Is Reshaping the Spread of Infectious Diseases
"...Then you have this convergence of crises—the #ClimateCrisis overlapping with the #PollutionCrisis. So you get this intersection between air pollution and respiratory #diseases, and then infectious diseases more broadly, all layered on top of a changing #climate.
When it comes to waterborne and foodborne diseases, the link to #ClimateChange is even more direct. As temperatures rise, you create more favorable conditions for #bacteria and other #pathogens to multiply. They thrive in warm environments—soil, water, contaminated areas—so warming can increase their abundance.
#ExtremeWeather events are also a big factor here. Aedes #mosquitoes need water to complete their life cycle—from egg to larva to pupa, it all happens in #water. When #floods occur, all the discarded #plastic and #trash lying around fill with water and becomes the ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes.
What’s interesting is that these diseases aren’t just associated with floods—they’re also linked to #droughts. That might seem counterintuitive at first, but in many parts of the world, people don’t have safe, reliable access to clean water, especially during drought conditions. So they store water in containers that aren’t properly sealed or protected, which too can become the perfect breeding sites for mosquitoes.
Infections—particularly vector-borne diseases—are increasingly reemerging and emerging in new areas around the world for a lot of different reasons. Climate change is definitely part of that, with rising temperatures and more extreme weather events like floods and droughts. But the way we live our lives and interact with the environment also plays a huge role. I mean, first and foremost, most of us now live in urban areas rather than rural ones..."

SAN DIEGO:
We had our "trash fee notice" in the mail today. Why does the city need to employ a ton of new people (eligible for pension) for trash service? Please oppose this tone-deaf implementation. Send in your protest note.
Summary/rehash of this by a YouTuber (which has no paywall)
My company makes #AI stuff for image processing - you know, what it was originally for and really good at. So anyways we're outside the office today cleaning up trash for #EarthDay and I said aloud "Hey, if only we could train #robots and AI models to fucking do this." but noone caught the irony.
Those AI techbros are training these models on the wrong stuff to do the wrong thing. We don't need AI to do our art or write our poetry, we need it to do our #laundry and pick up #trash.
