Delightful also to hear real eagle noises. In movies eagles are always dubbed with hawks, since hawks found fierce and eagles sound like adorable squeakers.

It’s particularly cruel to do this to Garbo, who protected her privacy and peace but it’s not surprising she was chosen. After all, she told the world “no” and AI pushers love to run roughshod over consenf www.theguardian.com/film/2026/se...

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

"Recently discovered"? I've been seeing this kind of scam for years. The real story here is that the scam was propagated by the Google ad network. Why wasn't *that* the headline?

This is an interesting thread with a bit of history and a problem that isn't actually all that niche, so I'm sure the Bluesky hive mind will solve it. And now I need to follow this person to find how people respond to thorse recordings. And what happens to that church.

One of the six Starship engines failed. Interesting that this fact is buried in the article. Note that Starship is key to SpaceX's future. If they can't make it work safely & consistently, it'll be difficult to maintain the Starlink constellation, there will be no 2028 moon landing, no Starmind...

I just listened to @patrickwyman.bsky.social talk about the alternative history where England had remained part of Scandinavian sphere. He makes a case for a sort of North Sea Empire, encompassing not just Scandinavia and England, but also the Low Countries, Norther France, and even North America.

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.

When I was a Silicon Valley drone, I drove Highway 87 frequently. I encountered many asshole drivers, but none quite an bad as this guy. The saddest thing about my 15 years in Portland is watching my fellow migrants infect local drivers with their total indifference to the safety of others.

MAGA is mainly unreflective dittoheads like this.

Ivan Justice, a 23-year-old bridge maintenance worker, gathered with his friends on a recent Friday in Pulaski to fish in the Salmon River. Justice said he agrees with “everything Trump does” and supports the name change. But he uses Lake Ontario in conversation to avoid confusion, only employing “Lake America” when he wants to aggravate people.
