Boo, my Bold Jumping Spider is out of molt. I wasn’t sure if he was male or female but now I know: Definitely male! He developed the white stripes on his legs and the boxing glove pedipalps! I don’t have a picture yet, I don’t want to stress him but I’ll provide when possible!

Microsoft and Blackrock have "have largely given up on organic adoption [of AI] by consumers. They have moved on to a new dream of forced adoption mandated by government and managerial coercion." Fascinating piece here on what Davos can teach us about the AI industry by @mattseybold.bsky.social

I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.

Have a good Monday, says Clementine! 🕷️ #spider #jumpingspider

How about some adorable spider photos before the weekend? Boo (Phidippus Audax) and Clementine (Phidippus Regius) #spider #jumpingspider

TR-49 does what every good puzzle game should: it makes you feel intelligent.

Yesterday, I moved Clementine to her new enclosure. I put the deli cup in the enclosure and let her come out at her own pace. She’s been exploring every centimetre of her new home ever since. I’d call it a success! #jumpingspider #spider

So… I came down with COVID on December 24th. Everything hurts! This is without a doubt my worst Holidays ever! The only positive is that my husband is still testing negative so far.

Sorry to brag but my spider is the cutest!

Morning thoughts about "AI". Where do we go from here?

I feel watched… Boo, the bold jumping spider has her tank right next to my computer desk and she spends all day hanging out at the entrance of her hide watching the human’s every movement! LOL

I’ve had dozens upon dozens of people tell that COLOR TASTE TEXTURE has radically changed their lives and/or the lives of their children. It isn’t just about sales. My whole purpose to writing my book was to change how the world sees food aversions and help kids avoid food related trauma.

@spiderdungeon.bsky.social Eeeeeeeeee! My Audax just emerged from her first molt since I got her!!! And she finally shows a bit of green iridescent on her cheliceras, I'm so excited! I was starting to think I had misidentified her species because she had no sign green before!

Only on the darkest arctic nights can you encounter this Primordial Pokémon. It manifests as aurora and ice, gently towering over the pole's frigid denizens... ✨❄️🧊 (There are 12 kinds of Pokémon in this #art! Can you find 'em all? Some are well hidden. Have fun & don't give away answers! 💕)

OMG! My mom just left me a voicemail in French and my phone stupidly tried to transcribe it in English! So I ended up with this gem:

You should all listen to Casey’s advice! She has great game suggestions in this thread!

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.
