the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.

humans have 3.

we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.

"The solution to the problems in autism research is not just to 'science harder.' To the contrary. Autism researchers and professionals would do well to make peace with that fact that autistic people can’t be slotted into a taxonomic flow chart as if we’re a sub-species of the human race."

Investors: "Anyway, we were so impressed that we invested the entire planets' economy in this, if it fails you're all cooked."

If you see this, post a monster!

But I’ve moved on to prosecute ICE y’all. Every last one even if it takes 20 years of trials.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

this made me cackle all the way through
