12/12 Deep sea wonders
2025 revealed first-ever footage of the elusive colossal squid; whole new ‘chemosynthetic' ecosystems that survive beyond the reach of sunlight; iridescent armoured worms and carnivorous "deathball" sponges - 2 of the 30 new species spotted in the Southern Ocean depths.

This Christmas, I have just one wish for you:
Take a moment to really see the older people in your life.
Let them know they’re loved, valued, and never invisible.
Share a smile with an elder you don’t know.
Offer a warm holiday greeting.
Small gestures carry enormous power.
Love, 
Lynda 🎄✨

Any trends?

A few months ago, the duplex a few streets away from us had a big flag next to each doorway.

The cars in front of the house are the same, but now there is only one flag. Noted without comment.

The front porch of a duplex has two white doors set in brick. Next to the left door, a Trump flag is flying. Next to the right door, an American flag and a gay pride flag are flying.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

When Asked to Generate an Alphabet Poster for Preschoolers, the Latest Version of ChatGPT Just Flails Wildly

The latest version of ChatGPT still comes up way short of identifying animals on an alphabet poster, a task meant for preschoolers.

In a world of greed and cruelty, be like Rick Steves.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.
