B.C. wolves use line to pull up crab traps in first possible tool use by species
Researchers have captured video footage of wild wolves in British Columbia pulling crab traps out of the sea by their lines to eat the bait inside, in the first evidence of possible tool use by the animals.

indeed, for every academic abuser and enabler: i promise there’s an amazing grad student out there who is doing work that’s as good or better.

we’ve let the myth of the lone genius guy carry on too long. it’s caused so much harm, in so many ways.

I refuse to believe that Larry Summers' expertise and skills are indispensable in any way. Please find another economist and policy expert, @americanprogress.bsky.social. There are loads out there.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Kneesvember 2025 Day 6
Bagglyn and Grell are in the woods sitting on stones in front of what they believe constitutes a campfire. Grell is eating berries and Bagglyn is looking to the right. After flying for several hours, the knights stopped for lunch. Bagglyn and Grell did the same just out of sight. "I didn't know the realm were so immense!" remarked Grell, gawking at the unfamiliar landscape. "I b'lieve we passed b'yond the realm and entered the Wylds" replied Bagglyn. "The wuh?" enquired Grell at great volume, spitting out a beak-full of queasyberries.

Carnivorous plants, like this *very* pink Pink Sundew (Drosera capillaris), thrive where few other plants can survive — acidic, sandy, and nutrient-deficient bogs and grasslands.

Just wanna highlight that Seattle Public Schools teacher salaries start at just over $60,000, less than half what a new Seattle police officer will make after six months under the new contract.

Cops get bonuses for two-year associate degrees; teachers, of course, have to have finished college.

Salaries were significantly higher last year, presumably because of inflation:

Amazon enjoys an estimated $11 BILLION in state and local subsidies, largely based on expectations of job creation.

Leaked documents show Amazon is working to automate 75% of the companies operations, eliminating 600,000 workers.

Pine Forest II
https://botfrens.com/collections/109/contents/28491
"Pine Forest II" by Gustav Klimt captures the ethereal beauty of a dense woodland, employing his signature use of color and texture to convey the interplay of light among the towering trees. Part of Klimt's lesser-known landscapes, this work reflects his profound appreciation for nature and showcases his ability to convey mood through atmospheric detail.
