TIL horses are unguligrade animals, which means they walk on the tips of their toes, rather than the soles of their feet. The structure below a horse’s knee is composed mostly of a single, elongated middle finger-like bone, known as the third metacarpal, which ends in a hard, keratinous hoof.

Diagram comparing the bones of a horse’s front leg and a human hand. The horse leg (left) shows the radius and ulna at the top, carpal bones in blue, Metacarpal III or “cannon” bone in yellow, Metacarpal II and IV as smaller “splint” bones in red and green, proximal phalanx or “long pastern” in turquoise, intermediate phalanx or “short pastern” in pink, and distal phalanx or “coffin” bone in brown. The human hand (right) is similarly colour-coded, with the metacarpals and phalanges aligned to show the anatomical comparison.An image of a Bay Dun horse with four human middle fingers instead of legs, set against a plain white background.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

In addition publishing the 100-page report in English, Norway's #Forbrukerrådet consumer council commissioned a short – and hilarious – film about the problem from #NewsLab. It's called "A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator" www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4Up... #Enshittification #Enshittificator

Someone I never heard of at work retired. On his card I wrote "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. -- Queequeg". I don't know what that means myself but it sounded deep without meaning anything.

I'm looking to buy a camera and, while I'm some way off having a Seniors Card and don't live in NSW, I discovered NSW Seniors can get up to 25% off #Nikon cameras and lenses. You may like to take advantage of this or pass it on to someone you know #NikonAU #Photography www.nsw.gov.au/community-se...
