“A notable aspect of private health insurance is the absence of any reason for it to exist. It does not contain costs, expand coverage, or expedite careit makes those all worse. Its sole function is to profit as a rent-seeking middleman between patients and providers.”

The viral red, pulsing Earth is an artistic visualization, not a literal planetary heart. The imagery uses real satellite data showing photosynthesis, plant life and vegetation health, with the rhythmic pulsing representing daily & seasonal biological cycles responding to sunlight. Earth has real natural rhythms, but the video poetically depicts its “breathing” biosphere, not a glowing heart. #science #environment #nature

The poor sunbittern stands completely alone on the family tree. 🌳🧬 It is the sole surviving member of its entire family (Eurypygidae) and genus. Plus, despite its heron-like look and name, it’s actually more closely related to rails and cranes! Evolution really made just one of these and broke the mold.

Tech Fact of the Day 💡
Long before the iPad, computer scientist Alan Kay predicted the modern tablet—back in 1968!
In 1972, he published his concept for the Dynabook: a two-pound device with a flat display and wireless networking. Because 1970s hardware wasn't ready, Kay built cardboard and plastic mockups weighted with lead just to test how it felt to carry.
Decades before touchscreens technology the blueprint was already set. #technology #history #science

“Dolphins and whales aren’t as different as many people think. Dolphins are actually a group of toothed whales, just generally smaller species in the same cetacean family. They sometimes swim together, socialize, and even form temporary bonds.

Had to dig for it, this is what I found, “The fly is taking a risk. A crab spider sitting on a flower is an ambush predator and may attack the fly if it comes within reach. However, the fly is making a tradeoff: the potential reward of an easy meal versus the danger of becoming the spider’s next victim.”

The Dutch mentality: Amsterdam lowered the water level of the entire city by 2 feet so one man could move his houseboat under a bridge.
Not his problem, they said. Our problem as a society. So the city engineers measured the boat, measured the bridge, closed the water locks, and lowered the whole city's canals just to get one boat through. That is the kind of community that makes you understand why people love living here. @jatraveladventures #Netherlands #culture #geography #travel #education

It exists in interstellar clouds, comets, icy moons, and around many stars. Wood, on the other hand, requires a very specific combination of chemistry, biology, and millions of years of evolution on a habitable planet. We've found water all over the cosmos.

Even though people all over the world use AI, almost all of the giant server buildings are located in the U.S. and China. So a tiny handful of local communities and rivers are forced to give up their water to keep the global internet running. #environment #ai #datacenters #climate #water #tech

Feels like clickbait, but this particular practice is rooted in a very successful therapeutic and educational concept known as animal-assisted literacy. In Finland and several other countries (including US and UK), libraries & schools use trained therapy animals—most commonly "reading dogs" (lukukoira) and, increasingly, farm animals like "reading cows" (lukulehmä)—to help children who struggle with literacy or lack confidence. #reading #education #animals #psychology #finland #school #culture
