All this thread ☝️ showing why the merger of #connectivity, #ISP, #CDN, content control, etc is so dangerous and why any person or organisation, no matter the size and the #communication
needs, should stay away from #Starlink,, and any dependency on them.
Unless they are absolutely certain their politics will forever be aligned with the #fascist #Mump regime.
Build #local connectivity and skills.

Psilocybin as a treatment for repetitive mild head injury: Evidence from neuroradiology and molecular biology biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20 "#psilocybin can reduce vasogenic edema, restore normal vascular reactivity and #functional #connectivity"; #neuroplasticity, #brain #plasticity, #neuroscience

bioRxiv · Psilocybin as a Treatment for Repetitive Mild Head Injury: Evidence from Neuroradiology and Molecular BiologyRepetitive mild head injuries incurred while playing organized sports, during car accidents and falls, or in active military service are a major health problem. These head injuries induce cognitive, motor, and behavioral deficits that can last for months and even years with an increased risk of dementia, Parkinson's disease, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. There is no approved medical treatment for these types of head injuries. To this end, we tested the healing effects of the psychedelic psilocybin, as it is known to reduce neuroinflammation and enhance neuroplasticity. Using a model of mild repetitive head injury in adult female rats, we provide unprecedented data that psilocybin can reduce vasogenic edema, restore normal vascular reactivity and functional connectivity, reduce phosphorylated tau buildup, enhance levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and its receptor TrkB, and modulate lipid signaling molecules. ### Competing Interest Statement C.F.F. and P.P.K. have a partnership interest in Ekam Imaging Inc., a company that develops RF electronics and 3D MRI atlases for animal research. None of the other authors have a conflict of interest.

“Imagine this: a safe passage for endangered species like the short-eared owl and red-headed woodpecker, a private habitat for moose, deer and black bears, a commitment to conservation that honours the land’s history and secures its future.”

The Narwhal · Manitoba is getting a new 'belt of greenspace'By Julia-Simone Rutgers

#30DayMapChallenge 2024 Day 6: Raster
This is the result of an analysis to model biodiversity connectivity in the Laurentian Forest Province.
I used Omniscape.jl to model wall-to-wall structural connectivity across the study area, with an emphasis on riparian corridors and biodiversity.
With these results, I am able to identify critical riparian crossings - locations where bridges over rivers provide connectivity for species on both side of the road barrier. #biodiversity #connectivity

#ElonMusk Has the Off Switch

With both #X & #Starlink under his control, the world’s richest man wields unprecedented #power.

By Marina Koren

Since Starlink first beamed down to Brazil 2yrs ago, hundreds of communities in the Amazon that were previously off the grid found themselves connected to the rest of the world. Here was the purest promise of SpaceX’s #satellite #internet—to provide #connectivity in even the most remote places on Earth—fulfilled.

The Atlantic · Elon Musk Is an Internet GodBy Marina Koren

"“When it arrived, everyone was happy,” said Tsainama Marubo, 73, sitting on the dirt floor of her village’s maloca, a 50-foot-tall hut where the Marubo sleep, cook and eat together. The internet brought clear benefits, like video chats with faraway loved ones and calls for help in emergencies. “But now, things have gotten worse,” she said....

He is most unsettled by the pornography. He said young men were sharing explicit videos in group chats, a stunning development for a culture that frowns on kissing in public."
