"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Gen AI is the ultimate expression of capitalism in a machine. It steals everything to regurgitate lesser slop while is hoovers up all the water and it doesn’t even work. Costs massive amounts of money and everyone is being forced to use it.

To any young artists wondering if people will ever stop asking you to work for free in return for exposure: I’m 52, it’s 7:54am here, and it’s already happened twice today.

Apologies for forgetting this month's #InvertArtChallenge again and thanks once more to @petrathepostdoc.bsky.social for the reminder. This month we travel to Scotland for this wonderful tachinid fly. I don't know the species, so if anyone does, please lmk. Feel free to create using this photo!

I need to pick a group of animals for the 2026 science valentines. First year was cephalopods, last year was bugs. Snails? We already have crabs, frogs, eels on advent. Fish? Can't do anything ultra-popular like dinos or sharks, it's already a saturated market. Marine creature assortment?

It's Thursday, which means it's nearlyyyy the weekend... and time for a game of Caption This! Give us a giggle... 👇👀 📷 Aintright

FUN FACT. Ticks are #arachnids, so they usually have 8 legs. But not always! When they hatch, they have only 6—the additional pair grows after the first molt 🕵 don't be fooled by mistaking them for insects! #bugsky Day 27 of #invertober2025 features the American dog tick and its sexual dimorphism

Had to work late yesterday, and at dusk I was leaving the building I was at when I noticed a familiar tiny shape on a young maple they had planted on site. Surprise sleepy nugget (resin bee) 🥹 Goodnight y'all

GET SUED, CROOKS

As aid dries up in Kenya, millions are threatened by the climate-driven disease kala-azar. Rising temperatures and erratic rainfall have supercharged the breeding of sandflies that spread the disease, putting 5 million at risk. grist.org/health/kala-... #Kenya #Health #PublicHealth #Heat

I fucking love nature. Ecosystems. Unicellular organisms. Deep sea creatures perfectly adapted to the cold, dark depths. Trees that whisper through their roots. Snakes venomous enough to kill a bull. Hermaphroditic species. Orchid mantises. Nature is cool as fuck & fuck you if you don’t like it.

You’ve all been very good this week, please have a crab.

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

Through A LOT of trial and error, I finally figured out how to print my own zines. Now I shall be UNSTOPPABLE! I'll get these listed in my webshop tomorrow because I know exactly nobody has been waiting anxiously for me to print these zines that took untold hours to make.

Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable

It took me about three months to get here but... Here's a 🪶 for (nearly) every species of bird, with colors extracted from wikipedia descriptions. 10,151 species. #dataviz #birds #data

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models. OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so. A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.
