But as promised, new profile pic of a very fungi.

Seeing Travis Kelseys junk.

An unexpected "worst thing about AI" is no longer being able to trust aurora pictures. I love the northern lights, but now every picture is suspected slop.

I think AI companies should be legislated to invisibly watermark their pictures/videos. They did it for printers, they can do it for genAI.

For example, the room of Canada’s top journalists heartily laughing as Poilievre mocks the concept of “Queers for Palestine” as “crazy.”

Yikes.

I don't want to mute the keyword Epstein, but I do want to mute every single whiny fucking loser posting "um excuse me I thought they voted to release the Epstein files where are they" as though the "within 30 days" part of the bill is too hard to understand.

We’re the only country that lets the gun lobby write the laws and then pretends to be shocked when children end up in coffins.

NEW UPDATE:

The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office has announced that four of the victims shot in the Stockton mass shooting were ages 8, 9, 14, and 21.

“Should we follow the Geneva Conventions?” Hegseth wrote in his 2024 book The War on Warriors. “What if we treated the enemy the way they treated us?"
GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "I don't think Secretary Hegseth would be foolish enough to make this decision to say, 'Kill everybody. Kill the survivors,' because that's a clear violation of the law of war."

unbelievable. the canonical example of an illegal order in the Law of War Manual is "an order to fire upon the shipwrecked."

This is your yearly reminder that sharks are older than the North Star.

The earliest confirmed modern sharks are from 200 million years ago.

The star Polaris is about 45–67 million years old (specifically Polaris Aa, the brightest of the three in the α Ursae Minoris system)

Physical media for movies and TV shows isn’t totally dead, but it’s a shame that streaming really killed the culture that surrounded DVDs. Some studios really put a lot of effort into those releases, like commentaries, trailers, and special features. That made the overall package more meaningful.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

Pretty much ANY statistic you see cited to frighten you about vaccines comes from the VAERS database. (Including the recent evidence-free missive from Vinay Prasad). Here's why VAERS can NEVER be a proper source for population-level vaccine risk estimates.

The University of Toronto has a $3.62 billion dollar endowment fund.

Meanwhile, students in Far North or reservation schools often don't have computers or Internet access at all.

Who is @mark-carney.bsky.social supposed to be helping, again? Can someone remind me? And then remind him?
