Birds can literally see the Earthβs magnetic field thanks to specialized light-sensitive proteins in their eyes.
Migratory birds possess one of natureβs most remarkable superpowers: the ability to navigate thousands of miles with incredible precision. At the center of this ability is a protein called Cry4 (cryptochrome 4), found in the retinas of their eyes.
When blue light enters the birdβs eye, it triggers a quantum reaction in the Cry4 proteins known as the radical pair mechanism. This ultra-sensitive process responds to the orientation and strength of the Earthβs magnetic field, essentially turning the birdβs visual system into a biological compass.
Scientists believe birds donβt just sense magnetism β they may actually see it. The quantum fluctuations likely appear as subtle visual patterns, shadows, or color gradients overlaid on their normal vision, much like an augmented reality heads-up display.
This extraordinary adaptation allows migratory birds to cross oceans, deserts, and mountain ranges with pinpoint accuracy, relying on the strange rules of quantum mechanics to guide them on their epic journeys.

But dear Americans, your gas is coming down by 5 cents in a few weeks time.
Ok so your groceries and every other bill you pay will be going up bigly but come on, you STILL won't get attacked by Iranian nuclear weapons thanks to yet another war #Trump started unnecessarily. π
BREAKING: US officials have now confirmed in a briefing that Iran will get full access to a total of $100 billion in frozen funds and the $300 billion reconstruction fund, both included in the deal with implementation now underway, per WSJ.
More than $150 billion of the fund has already been committed, directly contradicting Trump's claims that the US would not contribute to the $300 billion fund, per Reuters.

Ooh this sounds like a revolutionary moment in materials #science.
One where scientists are quickly questioning how this can benefit us all.
A crystal was just discovered that acts like a metal and a glass at the same time.
Molybdenum oxychloride, announced June 1, 2026.
Metals conduct electricity freely. Electrons move through them like water through a pipe.
Glasses are insulators. Electrons are frozen in place.
These two states have been mutually exclusive for the entire history of materials science.
Until now.
MoOClβ has a split personality at the quantum level:
β’ Along one axis: metallic. Electrons flow freely.
β’ Along the perpendicular axis: insulating. Electrons don't move at all.
This is called extreme optical anisotropy.
Why it matters:
β’ Smart contact lenses that can display information without power-hungry screens
β’ Ultrathin AR glasses that process light differently in different directions
β’ Photonic circuits that route light the way copper routes electricity
We've had one fundamental state for each material for 200 years of engineering.
Now we have both in one crystal.
Materials science just got a new category.

If you're not MAGA you'll by default be considered as an #Antifa agitant should you in any way upset an #ICE agent or other law enforcement officer in future I bet.
Next thing there'll be A symbols sprayed on doors if you're not a registered MAGA, and squads then round you up!
π¨BREAKING: The FBI just announced charges against multiple people, in Minnesota, describing them as part of two βAntifa-affiliated groups,β accused of conspiring to βinterfere with immigration enforcement.β
The charges allege coordinated activity, around immigration enforcement operations, in the Minneapolis area.
This includes communication, planning, and actions, which prosecutors say, were meant to βdisrupt or interfere with federal officers.β
But, this isnβt just about the charges themselvesβ¦. Itβs about how this is being framed, and what that framing does.
When the government uses a label like βAntifa-affiliated,β it turns a broad political term into a category. That category is then used to group different people under one umbrella.
This case doesnβt only involve alleged conduct. It also involves people who observe, document, organize, and speak out about immigration enforcement in their communities.
The indictment also references online chats, and communications, as part of the alleged conspiracy.
And this is where things get more complicatedβ¦
Talking, organizing, and discussing protests, or government activity, is not the same as committing a crime.
But, in conspiracy cases, those same communications can be used to argue intent and coordination.
That is where First Amendment concerns come in.
For almost a year, Iβve shared hundreds of videos documenting ICE/Border Patrol agents violating peopleβs rights, in real time.
When people can actually see what is happening⦠it creates transparency, and accountability.
And when a government doesnβt want to be held accountableβ¦
Watching and documenting the government starts being treated as βsuspicious.β
So, if you believe in the Constitution, this should be alarming.

From what I've seen this lady became the kind of Russian you'd never want to talk too despite the fascination about her space experience.
#OTD in 1963, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to fly in space. She flew aboard Vostok 6 and completed nearly 50 orbits of the Earth during the approximately three days she spent in space.

Things that #niggle an old grumpy guy.

Does anyone else find these utterly ridiculous?

...bowls of sugar at the point of sale or on tables. Not hard to do so and keep tidy is it?
Then there's the mess and cost of recycling the paper. All avoidable surely?
Do you agree?
Any actual good reasons for these packets?
What niggles you guys? π€

Is he taking a calculated risk?
How did he do the calculation?
And has he ever calculated how bloody mad he is?π€
Sometimes, the line between a great story and a great tragedy is just one step.
Courage deserves admiration.
Recklessness deserves caution.
Not every risk is worth taking,
and not every adventure is worth the cost.

I look on from afar at the Un-united States and now wonder how it can survive till 2029 even if votes in the midterms wound the #Trump regime.
Your vote is no match for #ICE lawlessness every day now so how can people power save πΊπΈ before it's too late?π€
Sad for you all. π

ICE vehicles hit their car while their children were inside. Then agents dragged the parents out during drop-off and a preschool graduation, in front of crying kids. All on school property.
PAXIS.app confirms that schools are supposed to be safe places for children, not federal ambush zones.
Thatβs not public safety. Thatβs state-sponsored trauma.
The ammunition to fight ICE is here: gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

A Russian barbarian traveled to occupied Crimea for a nice holiday with a full tank of gas, only to find out the next morning that his gas tank had been ripped off the car and stolen.

More notice the greeting afforded to #Trump by #Ursula - a token handshake - compared to the affection shared with Macron.
And who can blame her?
G7?
More like G6 and Gee, he's here too! Yuk.
π Notice the way Zelensky greeted Marco Rubio on the sidelines of the G7 summit
Friends?
It's just interesting to watch how these interactions unfold away from the cameras and prepared speeches.

What beauty! The Waitomo Glowworm Cave in New Zealand is a true natural wonder
A real-life βAvatarβ-like location has been found on Earth. In this magical place, hundreds of glowing insects crawl along the walls and emit a bright blue light. The scene resembles a string of Christmas lights.
It turns out that such caves are found throughout New Zealand. The insects imitate starlight β an unusual way to attract prey.

Don't worry dear Americans,
the Iranians are laughing at #Trump along with you, they know how painful the effects are of his policies on affordability, so once they've got their compensation for damages and Trump is history, they'll repay some of this $300 billion.
Maybe?π€π

Is it a weak arm or a dismissive power stance with that downward twist and sober face?
Certainly not the grab hard and yank towards himself that #Trump has done often.
Jun 15
Trump exhibits all the signs of having a previous stroke with visible right sided weakness (floppy arm and foot drop,) slurred, incoherent speech. This administration is lying and covering up his health issues. Why did he have an annual physical three times in only 13 months, and why did he need 22 physicians for one exam? π
