All individuals of a species come from the complex interactions of their genes and their environment, & the rich developmental endowment epigentically inherited from the parent.
Nothing can replace or recreate that.
In this Anthropocene, once lost, the species is lost forever.

Darwin wrote in his 1859 On the Origin of Species "There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one... from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved." #2026MMM

I appreciate the timing of this piece, but I suspect the modern Olympic games are resource hogs 🤔

Thanks to @allthebeset.bsky.social for pointing out the Underground Railroad marker by the Maywood, Ill., McDonald’s. Feel free to tag me when you share a historical marker! (And use alt text in your photos. It helps with accessibility and allows you to add information that won’t fit in your skeet!)
There’s a Harriet Tubman quote on the marker that says:

If ya' wanna be free, keep a goin'
If ya' tired, keep a goin'
If ya' scared, keep a goin'
If ya hungry, keep a goin'
If ya' wanna taste freedom, keep a goin'

I will never understand why, with so much information at our fingertips and the ability to search for it ourselves, anyone needs AI as an intermediary to muck everything up. You can also learn a lot by asking real, knowledgeable people, and not wonky, lake-draining formulae owned by rich fascists.
