Here's me doing my favorite thing last week: talking about the looting (and return!) of the Bubon bronzes, a story I have been researching, writing, and speaking about since 2012. www.npr.org/2024/12/08/n... 1/5

"Extinction of experience" in disciplines like ecology & paleobiology isn't just about fieldwork. It's also the loss of taxonomic expertise. Any focus on Big Data, divorced from knowledge of natural history, is a largely vacuous enterprise with limited capacity to generate meaningful insights. 🧪

Ok. I made the Jimbo's Big Naturals mod. It applies to (almost) all the jokers. Easy to install and does not require a modloader. #balatro

It’s a very quiet Saturday morning, so coffee, eggs, toast and my book.

I wouldn’t turn down millions of dollars, but, all things considered, my life is pretty good.

there's a story about a philosophy professor who was chided by a cop when he lit up a cigarette too soon after leaving a subway station. prof says he's outside so it's legal, cop says "but imagine if everyone smoked so close?" prof says "who do you think you are, Kant?" and is promptly arrested.

Because of the ban, many people from Brazil are moving to Bluesky, including Artists, so let's do an Art Share for them only!
ARTISTS FROM BRAZIL
- In the comments, introduce yourself and show your art!
PEOPLE NOT FROM BRAZIL
- Reshare this post and the ones from brazilian artists in the comments!

Anybody remember friendfeed
This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on.

They've outlived dozens of ships.
