Beautiful new study by Michael Bok, Macali & Garm on the high-resolution eyes of the enigmatic alciopid annelids, from Ponza island.
"Our results show that the eyes of alciopids possess the anatomical, morphological, and physiological properties requisite for high resolution tasks and object vision" https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2024.02.055 #annelid#Evolution#eye@biology@mikebok
The Bates eye method is an alternative therapy that purports to "cure" defective #eyesight and diseases of the #eye by means of specific exercises. It is based on the work and theories of William Horatio Bates, a medical doctor and eye specialist practicing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Although rejected and later soundly debunked by his peers, Bates's method was readily adopted into the alternative medicine and health freedom scenes, where it became interwoven with nutritional and other pseudoscience in the hands of early "health fad" figureheads such as Bernarr Macfadden and Gayelord Hauser.
This is the part where I was going to try to compare how shells have hidden treasures, and eyes also have hidden treasures, but I'm not, because that would sound silly. Instead I present to you, a big creepy eye, that will always follow you.
Have you ever seen the 👁️element in the mastodon UI and wondered what it meant?
It’s actually quite simple and useful!
When you see the 👁️, it means your webcam is active and streaming images directly to Mastodon HQ, where Eugen (@Gargron ) is watching. He reaches up and gently touches the screen, whispering “what are you going to toot next, my lovely?”
This feature is pretty handy, but if you prefer, it can be switched off simply by clicking 👁️—> 🚫👁️

No, seriously!! What does that #eye indicate? I asked someone else about it many months ago, and they didn’t have an eye on their screen. 👁️
The US would be wise to have a Stable Majority Party whose planks:
do right by the common "bottom" 90% of us
forbid/discourage grifters, victim cults & SIGs
forbid lies & liars
forbid traitors & criminals
NEITHER the Dem or Repub parties of today meet these criteria. so we need something to replace them. but do it in a "safe" way, like by only running in "ranked choice voting" elections. that way you vote for Ideal Choice &
Lesser Evil
