Yes, even cats have a favorite person. How they choose and how to tell they've picked you.

#Humans and #evolution are an often debated topic: Do they live for #egoism/#selfishness to maximize their own and their families' #success, and thus are constantly #competing? Does humanity, through its constant drive for #competition, ultimately hinder itself, or is the secret to human success its capacity for #cooperation? It seems to be both, but I fear with a tendency toward the former. But read the essay by J. R. Goodman (2026).

After knowing about epstain files matter, I realized that there is no need of any government in any country. Because they only controlling normal people's to run their dirty works and enjoy the wealthy life without any questions. Not a single government protecting normal ppls from any illegal things, they only protecting rich ppls. They all are connected with each other in every country and exploiting every single person of the world. #Epstienfiles #community #life #humans #humanrights

Hitting the gym more lately? Good. But if you’re primarily sticking to cardio, think about adding some weight training and other forms of exercise. It just might reduce your risk of death. @ScienceAlert explains:
1/n One upside of recent big chills here at home is that they're #Violence damping. Folks ready to throw down on either side prefer not to freeze their asses while doing so. That also seems to say something about how ridiculous many of our conflicts are. Or how foolish #Humans can be in general...
The counter-argument of course would be a multi year war like the one in #Ukraine wherein #Weather is itself weaponized. That of course works both ways. Not fun for either side...

Astrid being great as always.
OK, this one’s pretty gross. Just don’t visualize and you’ll be fine. New research shows that supplementing the guts of older mice with poop from younger mice prompted healing and “function more like a younger intestine.” Read more from @ScienceAlert:
I just stumbled on an intriguing UK doco from 2016 about AI, hosted by Gemma Chan, who at the time was playing an android (or "synth") called Mia on the Britain version of Humans;

It opens with the usual 'saviour of humanity or harbinger of destruction' false dichotomy, which has been the dominant way of thinking about AI for decades. But the creation of the "Gemmabot" is a fun gimmick;

A rapid evolutionary process provides Sudanese Copts with resistance to malaria
The study published in PNAS sets out how, in just 1,500 years, the #Copts have acquired a genetic variant that protects them from contracting #malaria after mixing with other #Sudan ese populations.
