Warren Buffet also appears to be objectively happier and less of a miserable ghoul desperately begging for accolades on his own social media platform than some the others on this list. Makes you think.

There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.

At work, we often anaesthetise, perform surgery on, and tag juvenile fish. We wanted to find out if these procedures impact their oxygen consumption in the following days. Good news, we didn't find cause for concern! 🙂 Open access here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

Decline is not inevitable. Where fishing mortality has been reduced — through catch limits, retention bans, or spatial protection — shark and ray populations are stabilizing or recovering. Recoveries documented for wide-ranging and restricted-range species @charlie-huveneers.bsky.social

An advantage that Trumpy Republicans have is that it's very difficult to accurately describe what they're doing without sounding like you're a deranged hyper-partisan! Example: "They're no longer considering the impact of environmental regulations on saving human lives, only the cost to industry"

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'

next reporter who interviews stephen miller should ask him point blank if his goal in minneapolis is to kill more americans

You have to look past the fact that this is an attempt to project confidence and power and see it for what it is: an open admission of weakness and desperation. Strong people don’t act like this. Weaklings who wish they were strong do.

This is one of the wildest deep-sea mining stories to me. Paleodictyon is a 500-million-year-old trace fossil from an unknown organism. In the last 50 years, we've found their honeycomb traces on the seafloor. There is a living organism that has been doing its thing for half a billion years.

As an American, I fully endorse this sentiment.

So everyone knows that northern cod collapsed completely in the 1980s and never recovered. Well... it's actually kind of recovering now. Spawning biomass is at pretty good levels, while catches remain at a tiny fraction of the heyday levels. publications.gc.ca/collections/...

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

Still ruthlessly promoting this, so start 2026 off with some shark rock! Available on a bunch of streaming services and buying yourself a copy on Bandcamp directly supports the making of more of this kind of music. chuckbangley.bandcamp.com/track/a-bigg...

"Let's Look Back on 2025: Year in Review" wow no thank you, once was plenty

On both personal and professional levels 2025 has mostly been a major unplanned and unwanted reset, but here’s a thing I managed to accomplish that I’m very happy to get out.

“A Bigger Boat (You’re Gonna Need It)” was released on Christmas Eve Eve. Therefore “A Bigger Boat (You’re Gonna Need It)” is a Christmas song.

Tradition, 2025. Every year @banglespaints.bsky.social and I make “improvements” to the family nativity scene.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, is a perfect engine, an eating machine. All it does is swim, and eat, and make little sharks.

“A Bigger Boat (You’re Gonna Need It)” was released on Christmas Eve Eve. Therefore “A Bigger Boat (You’re Gonna Need It)” is a Christmas song.

I don’t post as often as I shoud about that “extremely part-time musician” part of my profile, so here’s a song I made with some Halifax open mic friends that’s kind of about Jaws. Also available on a whole mess of streaming services. chuckbangley.bandcamp.com/track/a-bigg...

Transphobia is the “break glass in case of emergency” policy position for this administration. Absolutely ghoulish.

I wrote a Hallmark Christmas movie about BOEM's attempt to mine the sea floor near the Mariana Trench I believe the Spirit of Christmas can remind us all of how important it is to protect the ocean www.angelovillagomez.com/2025/12/saip...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar. Going with a less-obvious shark-related option.

Amazing footage. Imagine going fishing and getting your catch depredated by a giant squid. 🦑🐟🦤

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you’ve seen in the wild: White shark Bull shark Blue shark Great hammerhead And most importantly spiny dogfish

Mysterious deepwater sharks, killed to make cosmetics, are granted new trade protections in ‘watershed moment’ 🦑🌿🐟🦈 www.cnn.com/science/deep...

🧵1/9 There are 35,000+ fish species, but we have formal social-behaviour classifications for a tiny fraction. Most knowledge lives in the experience of researchers, fishers, divers, aquarists, naturalists, and Indigenous communities, but almost none of it is centralised. So we built ShoalBase.org.

What we are dealing with is a perfect engine, an eating machine, Charlie Brown.

New fisheries science book just dropped. 🧪🦈🐟🦑🦤

resources re: ICE presence in North Carolina, distribute widely if you feel like it. all love to my community, no love to the people who said "but what is fascism really? historically, blah blah, name-calling gets us nowhere" when we were all saying "these people are fascists" linktr.ee/apply_heat

This is one of the good applications of AI. I really wish our society would invest more into its useful applications instead of going all in on the grifting-and-plagiarism racket.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

It’s nice to just see a celebration of a big boat being intentionally sunk. No metaphors or symbolism, just a simple story about a big boat sinking.

lol what the wealthy today don't seem to understand is part of staying wealthy in society is not pissing off the masses. There's a reason why Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into institutions. Gutting institutions and making it harder for the masses to survive is a...choice.

Sexy Toronto Blue Jays score. And you know what, it was pretty sexy.

The Trump administration removed the 5th National climate assessment, which was congressionally mandated and taxpayer funded, because they deny science. It’s now back online on a non-government website.

Update: we found each other.

Any risk we expect a second-grader to accept by going to school should be expected of the rich and powerful as well.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: The real villain in Jaws isn’t the shark, it’s a capitalistic mayor that values profit over people!

I had an invertebrate zoology professor in undergrad who called chaetognaths “the great white shark of the plankton.”

"The strength of WHOI's science is in its people." It was true in the time of our first director, Henry Bigelow—and it's true today. We wouldn't be leaders in ocean science + engineering without our dedicated + talented staff. 👉🏽This Labor Day, get to know the #HumansofWHOI: go.whoi.edu/humans
