Every time I go birding in spring or fall and I have to actively try so hard to see any migrating birds I remember that quote from birders describing warblers as “dripping from the trees” and I get unbelievably angry

Here's one of many examples why you shouldn't consume data from people who don't understand data
The left circle could be perfectly accurate

Metanarratives can save lives. They can save civilizations. Or said differently, lack of metanarratives can kill off civilizations. It’s happened before that civilizations drive off a cliff because their people failed to see the bigger picture they were part of.

Holocaust Survivor Message to US Campus Protesters:
This survivor of the Holocaust is against Genocide in Gaza & conflating Jewishness with Zionism, which does nothing but increase antisemitism.
Your protests are so persistent, large and global that eventually the Western leadership, which are trying to deny what’s going on, will be forced to face up to it.
There is a historic responsibility towards injustice, genocide and fascism.
Thank you for being brave and on the right side of history.

This won't be the last discovery to rewrite prehistory to be much longer!

This should be front-page news everywhere.
Director of NY office of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on Gaza:
"This is a text-book case of genocide. The European, ethno-nationalist, settler colonial project in Palestine has entered its final phase."
Never again is now.
