The star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata) is an evolutionary wonder with "stars for eyes".
They're exceptional in so many ways: they're the fastest-eating mammals, they're just as comfortable in water as (under) the land, have exceptional nerve conduction & senses you don't have access to.

There’s a line I’ve never forgotten from Battlestar Galactica (2004).
Twenty-one years later, it still hits like a hammer.
When a society forgets that boundary, the danger isn’t abstract.

Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures! These sewing #needles were made from animal bone some 15,000 years ago. Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start. Form follows function! 🧵1/2

Every day we have to be reminded that the UK has the most abjectly feudal, let-them-eat-cake-ass media on the planet.
Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

Ekoji Temple rests quietly in Kyoto’s Nishijin district, nestled within Kamigyo Ward. In its grounds rises a majestic ginkgo tree, more than four centuries old.
Each year, from mid-November to early December, its leaves burn with a radiant golden glow.
