🐦🌽 We often think of ancient empires being built on gold or military might, but the Chincha Kingdom of #Peru thrived on bird #poop.

New #research shows these coastal people used nitrogen-rich seabird guano to supercharge their corn harvests 800 years ago, creating a wealthy society so successful that the #Inca Empire eventually integrated them without a single battle.

Inside Switzerland's extraordinary medieval library

By Mike MacEacheran

The Abbey Library of St Gallen is a Baroque hall of globes, manuscripts and curiosities that has survived, improbably, for 1,300 years.

Após vazamento, Justiça paralisa atividades da Vale em complexo de MG

Vazamento de 263 mil metros cúbicos de água com minério atingiu cursos d'água que alimentam o rio Paraopeba, causando assoreamento de córregos e danos à vegetação, diz MPMG.

Revista por assinatura tem problemas óbvios, e isso está diminuindo. Revista de acesso aberto de editora grande cobra os olhos da cara. Uma coisa que a Europa vem ensaiando é justamente privilegiar as revistas de acesso aberto que não cobram para publicar. Não sei dizer o tamanho desse movimento, mas a gente está fazendo o movimento contrário, cobrando taxa nas nossas revistas e fazendo esses acordos para viabilizar acesso à revistas comercias nortenhas de acesso aberto.

Muito bem lembrado, @elvecioforte ! Inclusive aqueles bonés que estavam circulando pelo governo federal com a frase "O Brasil é dos brasileiros" me causaram um certo incômodo à época, porque é uma afirmação muito semelhante à "Alemanha para os alemães" (Deutschland den Deutschen) ou à "Itália para italianos" (L’Italia agli Italiani), slogans respectivamente nazista e fascista.

Entendo que a intenção não era essa aqui no Brasil, mas é importante tomarmos cuidado com aquilo que falamos.

🦎❄️ When temperatures in #Florida drop below 7ºC (45°F), invasive green #iguanas undergo a strange transformation. As cold-blooded #animals, their bodies essentially "freeze" in place to protect their hearts and brains.

They lose their grip on tree branches and tumble to the ground in a state of suspended animation – usually waking back up as soon as the sun comes out.

Iguanas Drop From Florida's Trees as Record Cold Blasts Southern US

Iguanas stunned by cold temperatures dropped from trees in usually balmy Florida on Sunday as icy conditions blasted southern US states, dumping nearly a half-meter of snow in some areas and whipping up high winds that caused traffic chaos.

Portuguese uses two different verbs for the copula "to be", ser and estar. ser is used for relatively permanent traits like "I am a Portuguese speaker", while estar is used for temporary traits like "I am sleepy right now".

however "to be dead" uses temporary "estar" and not permanent "ser". that's because Portuguese speakers are necromancers

🧠⚖️ Ever wondered why you put off big decisions? New #research suggests that the emotional pain of anticipating a negative outcome is six times stronger than the happiness of a potential gain.

This biological imbalance doesn't just make us avoid risks – it actually makes us more impatient as our #brains scramble to end the "emotional burden" of uncertainty.

it's not fair to blame individuals for social, systemic problems. you're right that it's kind of pointless to blame the companies, these psychopathic-by-design creatures, for doing something that we haven't made illegally costly; it would be sort of like being angry at bacteria for their making us ill. we shouldn't engage in victim blaming the users either. it's not lone action that can solve this kind of problem; we need collective action to promote social and political change, so that such abuses are understood and rejected by society at large, not just by a few. then businesses and governments wouldn't consider assuming or imposing such abuse on us, they'd take another path because ultimately they want our business and they wouldn't get it otherwise.
