I have never been more proud to work with @irishbaskingshark.bsky.social! After a compressed planning process, we held two packed days of fintastic basking shark talks. I've never felt more inspire or excited to continue basking shark research and advocacy.

between that, Google Images being created because of Jennifer Lopez's v revealing green dress and Facebook's prototype being used to rate students' attractiveness, it really is quite striking and grim just how much of the modern internet was created by and for sleazy men
Lots of horrifying/enraging detail: “YouTube was created after one of its founders was frustrated by how long it took him to find an online clip of Janet Jackson’s nipple-exposing “wardrobe malfunction” during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show.”

For the life of me, cannot understand why @irishrail.bsky.social are incapable of putting bus replacements on when working on the DART, a vital public transport link that often doesn't run for WHOLE weekends. Apparently, Irish Rail don't think anyone needs to take journeys in Dublin at the weekend🙄
