Tent caterpillars, future moths #NewEngland

Look at this fella #RedEft #EasternNewt #NewEngland

Pink lady slipper, first one I’ve seen this season to bloom and start showing color #BloomScrolling #orchid #NewEngland

Just FYI there’s an account on here called @redditspaceviewes.bsky.social (with over 200k followers) that is posting a bunch of AI slop (including a “Saturn polar hexagon” with 8 sides) and claiming it’s NASA imagery. If you see anything posted by them, it’s likely fake.

Boston Midnight Marathon Bike Ride info.

Rejoicing at the appearance of this trout lily in bloom

A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi

i have never clicked "interested" on a Google News push notification except for on this and one other hummingbird migration–related article, and i'm hoping to train the algorithm to only push notify me with hummingbird content

Freedom of speech is when you have to listen to what I say

just about burst a blood vessel this morning when I was catching up on crypto headlines and came across several to the effect of "but what will a Trump genocide in Iran mean for the price of bitcoin"

Some folks don’t seem to understand the magnitude and immediacy of the threats that trans people are facing right now. Idaho just made it a crime to use a bathroom other than the one designated for sex assigned at birth … the second offense is a felony with a 5 year prison term. 1/?

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

i love combing through FEC data because how else would i have learned of Big Nut

who could have predicted this

Yesterday was my sobriety anniversary, won’t say for how long because when I was first in the program people who had two whole weeks gave me hope, but I figured people with a year or more couldn’t be as alcoholic as I was. If you’re new, though, trust me: have hope.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

The constant condescension about ai is another aspect of it that makes me hate it more. The assumption is you can only be against it because you don't understand it like I do. No man. I don't like voluntarily making every human enterprise dependent on a tech run by a tiny group of financial maniacs

Please... do not do any of this... @evystadium.bsky.social has more. full story by @jasonkoebler.bsky.social here: www.404media.co/rfk-jrs-nutr...

WE BOUGHT A SUPER BOWL AD. And no, we didn't spend $8 million. @evystadium.bsky.social has more on how we did it. Read the behind-the-scenes story by @jasonkoebler.bsky.social here: www.404media.co/watch-404-me...

guys… we made a Super Bowl ad here’s how we did it: www.404media.co/watch-404-me...

My former boss! And general badass Brandon Karpf did the Actual Maths on orbital data centers and it is spicy. Such a good read!!! Spaceballs: The Datacenter brandonkarpf.com/insights-med... Cc @katebevan.com

From the last time the Washington Post did something stupid, and why you should think twice before telling (ex-)WaPo journalists to "just start a newsletter". www.citationneeded.news/i-am-my-own-...

Cars Ruin Cities! Driver crashes car into Boston Common near the frog pond.

Imagining a modern version of Macbeth where all his actions are predicated on the advice of ai chatbots.

There's a whole lot going on in the world right now, and for those who may need it you never know when an otter may decide to hop-hop-slide across the yard

I’ve launched a Citation Needed membership drive to celebrate publishing my 100th recap issue! Citation Needed critically covers cryptocurrency, the crypto industry, and its influence on policy. Paid subscriptions support much more than just the newsletter — here’s what goes into this work:

404 Media has published the full user guide for ELITE, the tool Palantir made for ICE to bring up addresses for deportation targets. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Scoop here by @josephcox.bsky.social: www.404media.co/here-is-the-...

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

Allow me to connect some dots for you: Too much of the world currently relies for its basic functions on resources which must be continuously extracted. You burn that oil one time and oops, now you need more. Geopolitical horrors are, in fact, one of the reasons we need to move to renewables ASAP.

My microwave sings a little song when my Hot Pocket is done. Should it have the right to vote?

This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

imma need yall to press record for me this thanksgiving ok

Thank you, election workers

From the House Oversight Committee report published last week: “The authority to grant pardons is not provided to the president’s inner circle. ... The president must make the decisions, and the courts can hold pardons void if the decisions are made by others.”
