Worried about climate change, spurs, politics, web/design, Twitter deserter.
@simonblackbourn @Hinterlands yeah, good point. There’s a big difference between admitting a mistake and correcting that mistake. As you say, polls indicate a majority already realise. Imagine in 5 years, that majority could be huge. Will rejoining be a political priority though?
@Hinterlands Good question! I’m sure many individuals will be happy to go to their graves never admitting it. But society in general, who knows? Maybe in this case fairly quickly, given the age profile of leavers, and the fact that many young adults entering ‘voting’ society are more likely to recognise the mistake?
HinterlandsI wonder how long it takes a society to admit, not privately but publicly, that it’s made a mistake and that mistake needs to be undone?
Of course I’m talking of the Brexit decision.
I am NOT asking *your* opinion of Brexit, I’m asking how long a society takes to admit a mistake.

Don't ruin a good day today by thinking about a bad day yesterday. Let it go.
@jonobie @estebanmoro yeah, exactly what I’m doing. Feel bad using the other site but it still feel I need to go over there for a fix of drama and virality
@estebanmoro another big one coming when he reopens Trumps account I reckon.

Researchers uncover insights into the evolution of color patterns in frogs and toads
A team of researchers from NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) has discovered new insights into the evolution of color patterns in frogs and toads—collectively known as anurans. Animal color patterns can help them camouflage with their surroundings and avoid detection from preys or predators. Many anurans have a light stripe along their back, which, when observed from above, creates the optical illusion that the animal is split in two halves and confuses visually-oriented predators. Although this color pattern is widespread in frogs around the world, little is known regarding its evolution or genetic origin.
