When I saw Ghost, the Pacific Giant octopus at the Aquarium of the Pacific she was entering senescence and slowing down. I captured her color with airbrush, so now she has a portrait.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

Home. Got to speak w/ my former high school bandmate/my current US Senator, @warnock.senate.gov It’s refreshing to be inspired, not incited; urged to be better, not bitter. To live the truth that we all matter or none of us do. And all means all We can change it all for all for the good of all

@michaeldgreen.phd @darthbluesky.bsky.social @goldengateblond.bsky.social Paper maps allow you to see the relationship between places, let you see where you are in relation to place. Electronic maps center you & show everything in relation to you. They also take away your decision making.

Paper maps are great. Never run out of juice, let you see the close up detail and the big picture at the same time (because they're three feet wide, unlike your phone), and the more you use them the more you learn your way around without them, unlike obeying a machine.

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

This video shows the process of tapping a rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) for natural latex, which coagulates quickly. Done right, this is non-harmful to the tree, which heals over at the scar. Let's talk about why trees make latex & what it has to do with condoms & heroin.
