Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

‘Tidal wave’ of Pfas being launched to satisfy AI industry, campaigners warn
Big manufacturers planning to produce more of the forever chemicals to meet demand from datacentres Pfas companies are launching a “tidal wave” of forever chemicals production to meet demand from the AI industry, a campaign organisation has warned. Despite alarm over the chemicals, which have been linked to cancer, a survey of the 10 biggest manufacturers found most had plans to increase production. Continue reading...

Hesitant to chime in because the issue is related but not the same. You'd be surprised how many disabled pwME are actually the ones doing the grant- and paper-writing, though their names never appear on anything. I have very mixed feelings on this.

Get this! Cleaning up pollution caused by the dairy industry’s nitrogen fertiliser costs NZ ten times more than farmers spend buying the fertiliser in the first place. One of the many ways we subsidise the dairy industry. #TooManyCows newsroom.co.nz/2026/09/01/t...

did you know that Fibonacci numbers (where each number is the sum of the previous two) can convert miles to kilometres? 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ... pick any number in the sequence as your miles, and the next number in the sequence approximates those miles in kilometres #math

I learned via @sliderulesyou.bsky.social that the drought means spiders are dying off (and regardless of my personal feelings about them, I know they matter) so just spent a rewarding hour misting as many webs as I could find. Each time the occupant ran out for a drink. Moisten a spider today!

A woodcarver named Becky W (vortenjou.bsky.social, rosehip.wordpress.com) made a sculpture of my nuthatch comic, showing a white-breasted nuthatch sitting on real nuts and hatching one of them. I'm so happy
A wooden carved and painted sculpture of a white-breasted nuthatch sitting on some nuts with a nutmeat with wings flying away into the sky.A four-panel comic. The first panel shows an arrow pointing down at a happy-looking nuthatch bird, and a caption: This is a nuthatch. The caption says "It's called a nuthatch because... wait no" and we see the nuthatch standing on a pile of nuts, tucking them under it. The caption says "That's not... wait" and the nuthatch is roosting comfortably on the pile of nuts. The caption says NO. And we see that one of the nuts has hatched and some walnut meat is flying happily into the air on little wings.

I was worried about how my dad would get along with my neurodivergent kid on vacation but my dad would just straight up say "ah, nope, you've missed a conversational cue. I said X, which was supposed to steer the conversation to Y, so now you say something like Z" and honestly it worked great?

The dog is not allowed to sleep upstairs because she's 112 in can't get back down. So I block the stairs with a folding chair on its side to stop her from coming up. 5 minutes ago there was the unmistakable noise of a giant dog, wearing a folding chair, climbing the stairs. She is upstairs 🙄

De legendarische Wim T. Schippers is overleden. Hij goot begin jaren '60 een flesje limonade leeg in de zee bij Petten. Dit was een iconisch voorbeeld van a-dynamische kunst: een doelloze, absurde daad om de zinloosheid van het bestaan en van kunst zelf te benadrukken.
