Roughly 60,000 ships cross the Strait of Gibraltar yearly, creating intense noise pollution that forces long-finned pilot whales to boost their call volume. But shouting fails over long distances, raising concerns that animals may become lost and isolated from their pods. Learn more! 👇

I used just about every chilli I had at home for this chilli oil - Dry red teja, guntur, chilli flakes, fresh green chilli, gochugaru powder, kashmiri red chilli powder + some black pepper. I started with sampling teja and guntur chilli, drinking rose milk, feeling my face sweat. Worth the time 🍜🌶🌶
A stainless steel mixing bowl with red chilli oil with crispy garlic bits floating around on the surface of the oil. Top view of chilli oil bottled in a glass jar with crispy garlic bits and two large fried chilli floating on the surface and a stainless steel mixing bowl in the background. A white fish with egg fried rice on a black kitchen counter.  You can see a lot of fried egg pieces interspersed throughout the rice  along with spring onion. On top of the rice are some pieces of brown crispy fried garlic. A steel fork rests agains the side of the bowl, it's tined edges inside the rice. 

In the background is a glass bottle of homemade chilli oil with a blurry handwritten white label. To the left of the dish you can see the edge of another plate with egg fried rice.

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

I don’t think I’m the only person who will appreciate this
Triangular diagram labelled The Introvert
Hierarchy of Needs. 

Top: Self-actualisation - A completely empty house. An arrow pointing to the house says “Nobody needs anything. Nobody is coming home for hours. Phone on silent.” 

The next level is Esteem - Plans getting cancelled. An arrow here says “‘Sorry, we're going to have to rearrange.’ Oh no. That's terrible. I'm devastated.” 

Next level: Belonging - One person you actually like. No group chat. No networking. No "let's go round and introduce ourselves." Just one person you can talk absolute shit with. 

Fourth level: Safety - An escape route. Own car. End seat. Knowing exactly when the event finishes. A believable reason to leave early.

Bottom of pyramid: Physiological needs - Being left the fuck alone for a bit. Food. Water. Sleep. 45 minutes where nobody speaks to you.

Imagine if you knew someone who hoarded billions of mustard packets. More than generations of their family could ever use. You’d reasonably assume they’re mentally ill. And that would be a reasonable assumption for hoarding basically anything, but when it comes to money, people see it as admirable??

I’ll also add that most of the heat should be directed at USA Today, but the journalists who participated in this breach of ethics also made a choice. Organizations are made up of people. We can’t absolve the people who do harm on the behalf of an organization.

Thawing permafrost, wetlands, wildfires, and freshwaters could increase global warming by up to 30% by 2100, according to a new study. Most climate models omit these natural feedback loops, meaning current warming projections are likely underestimated and carbon budgets too generous.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."
