The earliest named individual we know of is a senior administrator in the temple of Inana in Uruk. His name was Kushim and he lived about 5000-5400 years ago.
Not only is he the earliest named individual we know of, he's also the culprit of the earliest known math mistake. He made the ancient Sumerian equivalent of forgetting to carry over the 1 when calculating a shipment of barley.
Imagine your mistake being commemorated in museums thousands of years in the future.

Have you heard about mole genders?
I’ve heard of this concept in sci-fi, but thought it was absolutely made up. I know some fish and frogs can change genders, but not in cycles like this. Wild. If I slapped this down in some alien world without explanation, I’d laugh in my own face. But no, real biology IS that bizarre.

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you.
AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.
Here are the important details:
We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner.
We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.
To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc.
Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

Bryophyta (moss)
Fresh water algae first ventured on to dry land maybe a billion years ago. 470 million years ago, the earliest true plants, mosses and liverworts, covered the earth's surface. Today there are over 12000 known species of moss and to be this successful they had to solve some fundamental problems - How do you avoid drying out? How do you reproduce? How do you obtain nutrients?
Some desert mosses can survive a hundred years without rain but give them a few drops of the wet stuff and they green up in a few days. Mosses reproduce with tiny spores carried by the wind for hundreds of miles. In comparison, green algae can't stray far from the river's edge. They require water to transport their spores.
These photos demonstrate another bryophyte super power. There is no soil under this moss, just a piece of volcanic lava. This moss secretes organic acids that dissolve rock thus freeing up those valuable nutrients. Imagine living happily on a bare rock requiring nothing but the occasional rain shower for survival. Now that's what I call a relaxing lifestyle!

Compilation of pinnipeds in places they shouldn’t be
None of these are staged; each pinniped is here of their own volition and the authorities were made aware (and moved them away if necessary)

I heard this metaphor growing up, and in my case, it backfired supremely, because I went out into my neighbor’s backyard where a rose bush was growing, and the one I tested had like 30 petals (it was yellow, but definitely a rose of some kind), and as a very logical lass, I came to the conclusion that you could have premarital sex AT LEAST ten times before your future husband would even notice something was up. Moral of the story? Test your metaphors on the weirdest and most neurodivergent child you know before writing your weird religious propaganda.

przypominajka o tym, że właśnie kończy się kolejny niebinarny spis powszechny organizowany przez ekipę zaimków.pl - polecam ponieważ wśród moich pl obserwujących jest sporo osób nb, a przy okazji jest to też inicjatywa bliska mi prywatnie. spis zamyka się 29ego lutego!
spis jest inspirowany anglojęzycznym gender census i jest to już kolejna edycja, usprawniana i poprawiana z roku na rok - nie wahajcie się pisać do ekipy odpowiedzialnej za spis z pytaniami lub wątpliwościami. zapraszam do uzupełniania i podawania dalej :-)
ig ekipy organizatorskiej + ich twitter + spis i raporty z lat poprzednich

if you are unable to donate financially to help palestine, you can donate your time by protesting, boycotting, and putting up posters!
if all you have is your device and internet access, you can put your clicks to good use on arab.org. they use the advertising revenue generated by your clicks to help good causes.
and i would urge those able to spare a few dollars to donate to one or more of the following organizations:
eSims for Gaza
Direct aid for Gaza
Care for Gaza
Women for Women International
Institute for Middle East Understanding
Medical Aid for Palestinians
Palestine Children Relief Fund
Muslim Aid USA
Palestinian American Medical Association
Urgent support for medical professionals in Gaza
Emergency Relief for Gaza

as a kid i thought i would graduate from kid problems like cleaning my room to adult problems like jobs and taxes. but instead i have a job and taxes and still have to clean my room. cleaning my room is a lifetime problem. i will never stop having to put my markers away before bedtime. this is a rude way for aging to work.

[later] I'm pleased to report we're now identifying and replacing hundreds of outdated metrics per hour.
Goodhart's Law [Explained]
Transcript Under the Cut
[Cueball and White Hat are standing and talking, White Hat with hand on his chin.]
Cueball: When a metric becomes a target, it ceases to be a good metric.
White Hat: Sounds bad. Let's offer a bonus to anyone who identifies a metric that has become a target.
#how I feel about some of the sustainability initiatives in the department#energy use is prioritised over everything else because of measurability bias#still I appreciate the fact these initiatives exist in the first place#sustainability
