Murmurations of birds near #DavisCA. I recorded for like 20 minutes. This is a selection of some of the best bits. It was stunning. Awe insirpingly stunning. #Birds

I was lucky enough to read an early version and I highly recommend @josephcox.bsky.social’s new book Dark Wire.
He’s managed to pull off a total thriller about the usually nerdy world of encryption👇🏼
