Those new to Bsky need to be made aware of one of the greatest skeets ever, deleted long before its time.

A skeet from “rare body oils” that says:

TREBEK: Feel free to ask these diminutive spirits for sexual favors, but don't say "guten Tag" -- they're not actually German!
me: who are the slut gnomes of false berlin
TREBEK: Bizarre little men. You're still in control of the board

Close up of several rows of an ear of Glass gem corn, an American heirloom flint corn known for its translucent, rainbow colored kernels. Many of the dark colored kernels show firework like starbursts inside each kernel, an indication that the corn has Fusarium ear rot, a common fungal disease.

Russia's five-hospital quarantine, FSB involvement, and reported hazmat use in response to the death of a single researcher at a weapons-lineage Irkutsk lab are inconsistent with a lab-acquired plague infection, which would have been treated with prophylactic antibiotics.
1/4

Kevin Esvelt ® @kesvelt 2h g
Russian authorities have surely sequenced the Irkutsk pathogen, but refuse to identify it.
Physical lockdown indicates it cannot be controlled with
prophylactic antibiotics, implying engineered pan-resistance or that it isn't plague at all.

2/4

Kevin Esvelt ® @kesvelt • 2h
None of this means the Irkutsk pathogen will cause a pandemic.
But the response clearly indicates that Russia believes an epidemic is possible - and that the responsible agent is likely a pandemic weapon or otherwise embarrassing for the government.
3/4

Kevin Esvelt @ @kesvelt •2h
Vaccines will be ineffective against competently designed pandemic weapons. Russia may not be competent yet, but future Al will democratize competence.
We should stockpile pandemic-proof PPE and install germicidal far-UV and glycol misters in public spaces.

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

Deepak Karra (deepak_karra on IG) captured this shot of a pink robin, native to the forests of South Australia & Tasmania. In technical terms, this is a bird shaped like an orb, or 'BORB'. 🐦🟣 Reminder that this little guy is a direct descendant of theropod dinosaurs like T. rex. (📷: Deepak Karra)

A poof of bright pink belly feathers that looks like one of those fuzzy pencil-toppers is surmounted by a dark grey head in which is a wary dark eye. It's gripping a pink flowering branch that changes from nearly vertical to actually vertical, requiring a sort of death grip by the legs.

I lived in Oregon in the 90s & one night on radio a young woman was interviewing Joni Mitchell about an art exhibit she had at the time. During the interview she found out that Mitchell was also (!) a musician, and told her that was great, something to fall back on if the art didn’t pan out.
