The way mantis shrimp see is nonetheless super cool and interesting. They likely have no conception of 2D color at all, and can only sense the 12 different colors in general. Furthermore, only the midband of their eyes see color, when the eyes are moving and scanning for prey, they don't see color at all, which probably helps offload mental load for their small brains. Once they do see something, they then stop moving their eyes to determine the color of what they're looking at.

Also, mantis shrimp have 6 more photoreceptors in addition to the 12 colored ones, to detect polarized light. They likely see them the same way that they see color, so they probably don't consider them anything different than wavelength which is what we interpret as color.

Ed Yong's An Immense World has a section on this and I'd highly recommend it. The ways animals sense and perceive the world are often so different for ours and it's so fascinating.

Have you heard of the Rohingya genocide? Buddhists absolutely do fucked up shit.

I would agree with you that not all religion is bad. But singling out Christianity and Islam as the exclusively bad ones is absurd. All religions have some really important things to teach us philosophically, but at the same time, pretty much every religion has been used to justify some pretty bad atrocities.

If you don't want people driving who aren't in a mental state where they should be driving, then you need good viable alternatives to driving. Otherwise people will continue to suck it up and drive when they are tired, sick, stressed, had a single beer, etc.

The Supreme Court has consistently upheld that the First Amendment applies to anyone in the US. The Trump regime is now trying to argue that non-citizens don't have many basic constitutional rights. This is very dangerous, especially the deportations without due process. If they can incarcerate and deport people into foreign prisons without any proof, as they have been doing, then they can do that to anyone, including citizens.

They've already started moving production to India and Vietnam to avoid China tariffs, but moving to the US is definitely unviable regardless.

Just saw The Encampments last night in theaters. Mahmoud Khalil features prominently. Highly recommend everyone go watch and support.

I see this a lot in car-dependent cities... the street entrance is closed and you have to go through the parking lot, which just sucks especially if the neighborhood is otherwise walkable.

This is the brutalism we want

They've just gutted the State Department Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. They're continuing efforts from the previous Trump admin to redefine it based on "natural rights". In the first post on the new State Department substack (an absurd phrase), Marco Rubio called the bureau "a platform for left-wing activists to wage vendettas against 'anti-woke' leaders in nations such as Poland, Hungary, and Brazil, and to transform their hatred of Israel into concrete policies such as arms embargoes," and their new "senior advisor" is a 26-year-old Catholic theocrat who wants to completely 180-reverse the purpose of this bureau to go after foreign officials who have properly enforced their democratic laws (eg those who prosecuted Le Pen for embezzlement). They've successfully converted the human rights bureau into supporting rather than opposing human rights abuses in the name of supposed freedom of speech and religion. Even after this administration ends, there's no way the US diplomatic apparatus can really go back to supporting human rights abroad the way it used to.

Her first words were captured on a security camera

Rip their demographic crisis tho

...that's not what secondary sex characteristic means. As the article you linked says, that just means physical characteristics unrelated to the reproductive system that differ between the sexes. Some of the other examples given include the Adam's apple in men and longer arms relative to height in women. While some of these things can be sexually attractive or related to sexual attractiveness in some way, certainly we don't societally put them in the same sexual category as women's breasts.

I'd say grifting as much money as possible. In this case, they're trying to fund their tax cuts on the wealthy with these tariffs

The Acropolis Museum in Athens communicates this theft very effectively and poignantly. The top floor is 1:1 scale to the original Parthenon. All the marbles are shown, including both the ones Greece has and the stolen marbles reconstructed in a bright white plaster. Just walking through and looking at it all you can feel the sense of loss and injustice.

I love democracy. I love the Republic. Once this crisis has abated, I will lay down the powers you have given me!

Just use a 360 degree camera with stabilization

I'd question the underlying assumption of your question - were indie films more thriving in the 70s compared to today? Indie films today are certainly thriving - there are more of them than ever, distributors such as A24 make them widely known and they also grow organically online as well. Most cities have small film festivals that indie films make the circuits in. Oscars are now being won by indie films instead of blockbusters. That doesn't mean they are profitable though which was the topic of the OP. I don't think indie films were particularly profitable in the 70s either though?
