was lucky to correctly set up birdnet just as the Black-Bellied Plovers were passing through my area these little guys fly FAR and fast, due for arrival in the sub-arctic breeding grounds by early May

I apparently didn't have my birdnet node correctly wired to the mic stream for a long time but I am so glad I fixed it, this is just from a few hours on a terrible sample rate camera mic feed

this will make sense to very few people, but: I started an organized labor underground in an on-chain game about sending lab rats on psychic missions (rat.fun) the starting chamber for our narrative is rat.fun/0x402ef3ccdf... DM me for some $RAT if you want to play (needs a little base ETH for gas)

RAT.FUN is a game about having fun and drugging rats

one thing that is readily apparent after returning to the US after some time away is that China has already achieved the civ style cultural victory and is playing past the endgame screen a less incompetent US admin could counterbalance this but, alas

one interesting observation is that the actual set of countries that do vote by mail looks almost exactly like the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eco... map (with the notable exception of the Nordics but they mostly have equivalents like howtovote.se/voting-by-co...)

a map that accurately shows which countries allow either unrestricted or conditional mail-in ballots, addressing the inaccurate claims in the original tweet

we've had to rotate our tor keys so the archive.org onion service now lives on archivep75mbjunhxc6x4j5mwjmomyxb573v42baldlqu56ruil2oiad.onion it's no speed demon but it should generally work! let me know if you run into any issues (game emulation is known to be broken right now FWIW)
