Starfish walk using hundreds of tiny tube feet on the underside of their arms, as seen in this fascinating timelapse by Juliette Horn at the Frost Museum of Science.

Frost Science Museum on Instagram: "Getting through the week like this chocolate chip sea star... Sea stars use thousands of tube feet on the underside of each arm to move across marine surfaces. We like seeing them working together! Although they most commonly have five arms, some of these animals can grow up to 40 arms. #FrostScienceatHome ⁣ ⁣ 🎥: @juliette_horn ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #FrostScience #FrostScienceMuseum #ScienceMuseum #Museum #MuseumAtHome #loveflorida #miamidadecounty #science #miami #stayathome #distancelearning #education #aquarium #seastar #marinelife #sea #star #oceans #wednesdaywisdom #wednesday #oceancreatures #oceanbeauty #tubefeet #underwateranimals #timelapse #oceans #dyk"

If you’re one of the tens of millions of hardworking people wondering why your $10K or $20K student loan forgiveness is on hold, here’s why.

A GOP plaintiff—who himself had $48K in PPP loans forgiven—is suing because he only got only $10K—not $20K—in student loan forgiveness.🤦🏽‍♂️ So he’s suing to burn it all down. The GOP hypocrisy and war on working people is truly a thing to behold.

And this is why we can’t have nice things. Smh.

If you enjoy someone's post on #Mastodon go ahead and click the star. If someone tells you that's meaningless because there's no #algorithm, ignore them. Sure, boost the post too if you want others to also see the post, but don't think telling someone you like what they posted is somehow unimportant. In real life I don't tell someone, "good job," or "well said," or "I love that," for the sake of some algorithm, I do it because I'm human and they are too. It's fundamental to being truly social.
Elon Musk tweeted an image on a whiteboard from a "Twitter HQ code review" that wrapped up early Saturday. The image has attracted nearly 12k upvotes and over 1,000 comments over at the subreddit r/ProgrammerHumor, under the title "Twitter for Dummies". The image itself is an architecture schematic, not code. I put it on a Miro Board and Luke Dubois and Mark Hansen helped annotate it.
