Anthropic's IPO filing apparently warns investors that advanced AI could pose “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity,” which is a great sales approach and also, coincidentally, the exact phrase I was told when I brought home this guy.

No pics of the final beach walk but I did find these sunglasses that had obviously been in the water for a while. Just how long does it usually take barnacles to colonize something?

Being a woman in the 21st century is just people going "isn't there someone you forgot to ask?" about your fertility decisions until you die. If it's not Jesus or the 10^8 future people you prevented from being born by getting an IUD, it's your own mother

I don't care what anyone says, the r/nova subreddit brings the gas

Screenshot of a post on Reddit. Text reads: "I saw an employee eat a lantern fly. I was in line a few days ago at a popular grocery store in Fairfax and a lantern bug landed on something on the shelf in front of me. A guy was trying to catch it but an elderly employee then walked up to us and picked it up with her bare hands and chewed it up and swallowed it in front of us. I don't know if I should report this to somebody at the store but I also don't like lantern flies so I can see where she's coming from."

Screenshot of a post on Reddit. Text reads: "People don't eat lantern flys? So I was stocking shelves today at work (very popular grocery store in Fairfax) when a lantern fly landed on a shelf nearby. Lunch was coming up and I was getting pretty hungry so I wasn't about to turn down the free appetizer. Grabbed that deliciously invasive morsel and down the hatch he went. There was a customer nearby that gave me a really weird look. I think he thought my snack was weird? Or maybe he was mad that I didn't offer it to him? I don't know but I just thought it was a weird interaction. I just hope he doesn't report me."

Screenshot of a post from Reddit. Text reads: "Can't believe this happened to me. So I'm minding my own business buying groceries in Fairfax. I am new to the area but can anyone tell me if this is unusual? I like looking a bit fashionable, it's kind of my thing. I know people here dress more conservatively. I'm wearing a polkadot jacket and red skirt. Just doing my own thing and some old lady snatched me! And then she threw me in her fucking mouth? I couldn't believe it. Chewed me up and ate me. Like I said I'm new to the area and my 47,000 roommates and I just needed to stock up our kitchen. Unbelieveable, who should I report this to?"

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

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.

I am getting ready to take a nice long walk. I go upstairs to stretch my ankles and do an ankle mobilization (it takes fancy bands and blocks). On the way back down I notice my heels can drop down to touch the steps. Neat. I guess I’m ready to walk.

these glorious green metallic bees visiting my yellow tickweed

Ridiculously vibrant pic of a metallic green bee (both name and description, actually) perched in the center of a bright yellow blossom. I adjusted the contrast a touch for glare, but otherwise: unfiltered.

Same bee, different angle - now you see their little head poking out from the top and side, with little black antennae waving.

The bottom half of these bees is yellow and black striped, which is sometimes hard to see (they’re very fast, and if you see anything at all, you usually see the green). Same one, chilling on a yellow coreopsis blossom in the sun.
