CORNELL LAB--THE DEFINITIVE BIRD INFO SITE---JOIN OUR NEW STUDY ON PLASTICS IN BIRD NESTS

Have you ever seen a piece of a plastic grocery bag woven into a robin’s nest? Or perhaps a section of fishing line woven into the lining of a catbird nest? Increasingly, birds are integrating anthropogenic materials into their nests—but does using these materials matter? Plastic items may pose an entanglement risk, or they may make certain nests more visible to predators. On the other hand, there may be some benefits that are influencing birds’ selection of these materials. You can help us investigate potential relationships between plastics in nests and reproductive success. READ MORE AT Join Our New Study on Plastics in Bird Nests - NestWatch

JACOB SIEGEL--HOW CENSORHIP SEIZED AMERICA--BIG TECH DID THE GOVERNMENT'S BIDDING

Jacob Siegel--Apr 10 2026 - 12:01am --BEHIND PAYWALL

In Joe Biden’s presidency, two great forces pushed the information state to the limits of its power. The first came from the administration’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The second came from its decision to use the arsenal of counterinsurgency against American citizens accused of domestic extremism. Both relied on the vast public-private apparatus of censorship and surveillance, originally built to combat foreign disinformation, to wage political battles at home.

The pandemic dumped jet fuel into the growing counter-disinformation machine while extending its controls into the physical world. .......The senseless cruelty of preventing people from attending outdoor weddings and visiting sick relatives in their final moments. The images of authorities in New York City placing locks on children’s playgrounds.....more at How censorship seized America
