Right. The new #AvengersEndgame trailer. It confirms that Thanos killed 50% of ALL living animals, not just hominoids. This is a HUGE problem that he has not thought through. @JenniferRaff
When large, slowly reproducing animals. Go through bottlenecks or go extinct, smaller faster reproducing animals increase in number to fill those niches. WHICH MEANS A UNIVERSE OF RATS, THANKS THANOS.
Also, the reduction in genetic diversity disproportionately will effect large megafauna, if the cull was simply 50% of all members of a species. Again, the rewinding will be to the detriment of large animals and the benefit of medium sized and small animals.

159 years ago today, On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin was published for the first time. It is, to my mind, the most revolutionary, and the most important book ever written.
After an epic journey on the Beagle, years of meticulous thought and experimentation, and prompted by Alfred Wallace coming to roughly the same idea, Darwin compiled his thoughts on the radiation of species in this book.
And the process by which the diversification of life on Earth had occurred over generational and geological time.

Male Australian redback spiders are the ultimate dinner date: upon releasing sperm during mating, the male is eaten by the female in what is known as ‘reproductive cannibalism’ - arguably the least sexy phrase ever.

Female fruitbats of the species Cynopterus sphinx perform oral sex on males *during* penetrative sex, which (counterintuitively) extends the duration of copulation, possibly for mate-guarding purposes. Happy #InternationalMensDay2018

According to the Kinsey Report, 2.7% of male respondents had successfully performed autofellatio. Happy #InternationalMensDay2018

Dear Vlad and Putin’s understudy,

I wondered why you were never hacked and then it occurred to me, @realDonaldTrump didn’t use MicroSoft Exchange (email) Server.

Oh so many questions and even in spite of @POTUS our U.K. & NL Allies stood with US.

Here is my syllabus for the very idiosyncratic privacy law class I’m teaching this fall at Yale.

“The Changing Right to Privacy” looks at privacy from diverse, interdisciplinary perspectives – inc. philosophy, ethics, history, policy, & critical theory.

tiffanyli.com/wp-content/upl…
We start with privacy ethics and philosophy of identity, because I believe it’s important that we establish what privacy is and what privacy protects before we begin analyzing the law.
You can’t teach privacy law in America without assigning Warren and Brandeis. But understanding the historical development of privacy from a critical lens is important too.

(The Rosen piece is included as an overview of Richards’s excellent book.)

I've been going back to 10 or so years, looking at how actuarial science is discussed before and after the 2008 economic crisis. I am outsider to the field – approaching it as someone who researches recent histories & geographies of various human sciences
