Why are there like 100 separate “True” shows on Netflix and they aren’t under one heading? Royalties/ IP thing?

Insects appear to be pretty robust during mass extinctions (much less vulnerable to low CO2 than marine animals, small body mass so don’t need large amounts of food etc) so if they are in trouble we are really in the shit.

Insect declines across multiple species are probably the best indication that we are entering a mass extinction. https://t.co/lRJAiRoQYF
One of the most heartbreaking wildlife data visualizations I’ve ever made - this video shows the catastrophic decline of western monarch butterflies since 1997.

Opening share price for Coinbase consistent with the working assumption in @rob_cyran ’s view here … perhaps another example of the (relatively) realistic discovery of a market price via a direct listing? https://t.co/ioLgHrS2mw
Coinbase’s direct listing may value it at more than $100 billion. If the digital currency exchange is worth this much, competition is coming, says @rob_cyran. https://t.co/wcBuWYuxsa https://t.co/DxFGmZJQE9

I can understand the decision, but I think it's overweighting an uncertain rare risk vs the deaths/disability that will certainly occur in the still unvaccinated.

“It is the punishment of the South that its Robert Lees and Jefferson Davises will always be tall, handsome and well-born. That their courage will be physical and not moral. https://t.co/eq0UiFC1Hs
