Still laughing over the complete and utter incompetence of the GOP in their efforts to please Dear Leader by smearing Jack Smith. It went so so so badly. Also, thanks to Ted Cruz for the refresher on what "cringe" looks and sounds like.

I really don't know why the GOP keeps inviting smart, honest people to testify in Congress. Today's soundbites: * Jack Smith saying clearly and forcefully that the President committed crimes after the 2020 election and Senator * Senator Schmitt's truly idiotic blunder of mixing up sports teams.

Wow. Congressional hearings like this are always full of attempted gotchas and grandstanding, but this is the most incompetent questioning I have ever seen.

I was listening to a discussion about AI and one argument was people don't want data centers, but also want to use ChatGPT on their phone. Nope, not me. If the only way to access LLMs in my personal life was via subscription, I simply wouldn't.

This is why I think his plan to make voting harder backfires for him. So many of his voters are low-info first time voters who will ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and stay home. Meanwhile, I and my friends will wade through molten lava to vote against the MAGA dipshit up for re-election in my gerrymandered district

I didn't take notes on this dive from April, but from my photos, the nudibranchs were clearly plentiful and the visibility was good. Good stuff! #NewEngland #nudibranchs #scubadiving #underwaterphotography #olympus #om1 📷 🦑
Dendronotus frondosus is a species of nudibranch we see quite regularly over the winter and early spring. Normally, they are maybe an inch or so long, but at this site they get to several inches long!A comb jelly floating along over the hydroid fieldA Flabellina "verrilli" nudibranch under the snoot light. This species is common at this particular location, but rarely seen elsewhere. They can get quite big, up to several inches.My dive buddies from across the parking lot with the telephoto

Low tide dive at Peirce Island in New Hampshire with absolutely awful brown viz. That said, the nudis were still out in force, so I still took a lot of photos without wandering very far. They did need some extra color correction though... #nudibranchs #underwaterphotography #scuba #om1 🦑 📷

I know the oil industry has its hand in everyone's pocket in DC. Seriously though, come for the pollution free power, stay for the energy independence. If "America First" was a real ideology instead of just xenophobia, energy independence would be at the top of the list.

OWL UPDATE! I went back to the place where I saw the crashed juvenile great horned owl and spotted two juveniles in that exact same tree. Looks like the crash victim made a full recovery! Yay! Original blog post: buff.ly/A2p7VtP #owl #greathornedowl #birds #wildlife #blog #owlet #om1 🐦️ 📷 🦉
Two juvenile great horned owls staring down at me from a branch with their mesmerizing yellow eyes. One of these two is likely the same individual who crashed through this same tree several weeks earlier.

Such an obviously fake image, yet here people are in the quote posts breathlessly expressing wonder and awe. If you see unbelievable, uncredited images from vaguely named aggregator accounts ("Ethereal Earth" for example), they are almost certainly fake.

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...
"That link is not there yet, right?" he said. think maybe implicitly there is more that is getting shipped, but it's very hard to draw a line between one of those stats and, 'Okay, now we're actually producing 25% more useful consumer features."
He said that the trade-off costs from Al are harder to justify because he can't draw a direct link. Earlier this month, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in an earnings call that Uber was slowing hiring to counter its investments in AI.The comment led to what he described as a
"head-exploding moment," sparking discussions about AI token consumption within the company and the trade-offs it creates, such as on head count.
He said that, based on talks with Uber's senior engineering leaders, he realized higher token usage did not translate into a proportional increase in useful consumer features.

No seriously though, what does the Trump administration think they negotiated with Iran? It is communication and diplomatic malpractice to not counter Iran's published list with their own.

Hey you guys remember when the Clintons got dragged in to testify in front of Congress about Epstein and the only thing that came out of it was a bunch of GOPers showing how profoundly stupid and incompetent they are? I know that was like 7 years ago at this point, but good times.

#Artemis II lunar flyby images are showing up! 😍 A crescent Earth setting behind the Moon.
Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region.  In the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater’s formation.
