Maybe the thing that gives me a pulse-pounding throbbing headache is when I think of how techbros sold ChatGPT to universities as ‘revolutionizing’ higher education and our institutions just forked over money without even asking for actual evidence
When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same.

Day 24 - Wilson's bird-of-paradise 

Attenborough captured WBOP on film in 1996 by adding a leaf to the cleared display stage on the forest floor. The bird came out to remove the leaf.

Day 21 - Greater Rhea

Water color and color pencil

20 years ago a pair of Rheas escaped a private zoo in Germany. There's now a population of nearly 600 feral Rheas.

South Korea and London are also out for #NOKINGS
South Koreans held their government accountable earlier this year. And now they’re protesting for American’s rights and democracy on No Kings too!

Thank you South Korea! #NoKings ❌👑

2025 feels like that late-stage game of monopoly where you just go round and round paying rent and utilities forever and nobody knows what the rules are anymore and everyone’s just waiting for it all to end except the one player who cheated and has all the money

Day 11 — Budgies

I love these birds. They are so pro-social it made sense to put two in the sketch. Another really fun one to do.
