That is not what happened to horses.

Stop building datacenters. Start building awesome deep-submergence vehicles.

Clandestine Submarine Ops, 1950 to 1992: oh man, these are the wildest stories I have ever heard. Clandestine Submarine Ops, 1993 - 2026: What the heck are we even doing anymore?

Hey, remember when Russia developed a super-secret deep-diving nuclear submarine meant as a response to the US's NR-1, but the whole project was leaked because the guys from Top Gear accidentally photographed it while racing Mercedes on a Russian runway? Deep-ocean espionage sure is weird.

Eye-popping margins in the Pennsylvania special elections today: —Democrats won HD94 by 63 points. (Harris won it by 30 in 2024.) —Democrats won HD42 by 35 points. (Harris won it by 17 in 2024.) [The 2024 numbers are via the essential @the-downballot.com].

Predator: Badlands is the superior predator to watch tonight.

My pettiest tech complaint is that if I'm paying for your software as a service product, I want the damn program to open to the service, not make me click through an ad for your other services.

I have big plans to kick back with a nice single malt and watch Predator Badlands tonight.

A Republican Congressman sexually harassed a staffer who then burned herself alive, and Jeffries thinks the Democrats have a decorum problem.

I joined @thelongerroad.bsky.social on the Elements of Deep Sea Mining podcast for a wide ranging discussion on the environmental and policy issues that shape the deep-sea mining discussion: open.spotify.com/show/0cTLvd4...

The most insecure dudes on the internet are breaking their jaw with a hammer when they could be Calvin's Dadmaxxing.

No one on X is posting about William Beebe. Only a handful of tweets in the last month, several of which use photos of Piccard and Walsh's Trieste. Dead network. Beebe Posting is rip-roaring on Bluesky, today.

This video from WCS has images created from his observations. youtu.be/VtNHKfm6Wc4?...

Ruth Rose is herself an absolutely fascinating figure: a broadway actress, official historian of the New York Zoological society, naturalist, and writer of a number of films, including She, The Last Days of Pompeii, Mighty Joe Young, and (of course!) King Kong. I'd kill for a good biography of her.

You can touch the bathysphere. It's on display in New York. youtu.be/Dty7QKU5iJA?...

I was so eager to share my recent podcast conversation with @drandrewthaler.bsky.social that I finally created a Bluesky profile to do it. Managing permanent impacts for resiliency, vents vs nodules, DSHMRA risks, and how people with the same goals can row in different directions. elementspod.com

Wake up, Bluesky. We're Beebe posting.

This is actually what peak masculinity looks like.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but William Beebe was 55 when he made his first legendary descent in the Bathysphere.

Just updated the code for the deep-sea mining feed to remove copy/paste petition calls and add a few new topics and developments. Follow along for all the deep-sea mining conversations on Bluesky. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Republicans continue to be surprised that the majority of people who turn to guns to solve their problems align with the party who spent the last 50 years making guns and gun culture a core part of their identity.

The Millennial urge to always wear sunscreen.

It has snowed.

"Research in sustainable mining consistently shows that communities are not passive recipients of mining impacts. They are active agents whose consent, cooperation or resistance can determine the lifespan of entire supply chains" theconversation.com/critical-min...

With Suriname alone, G covers a lot of your bases.

My most toxic trait is that when I DM a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, I make sure that my players encounter both dragons and dungeons.

Ready for an adventure. #D&D

For what it's worth, both the USNS Mercy and USNS Comfort, the two great US hospital boats, are in port in Mobile, Alabama with no sign of mobilizing.

I've read a lot of ocean adventure stories, including almost everything written by or about William Beebe, and I have never encountered a book that surprised and moved me as much as Half Pass Six. amzn.to/46jV3dq

I assume it's a prank, but love the idea that John Barron has come back to us now at the turning of the tide.

Tonight is an extremely important milestone in my young child's life. Tonight, we introduce my 9-year-old to Star Trek IV: The One With The Whales.

New 150-day Trump Tax.

At $80 to $100,000, the Cybertruck is an objectively terrible value for a truck. The only reason to get it is identity-based. If we start seeing them at $35,000, it'll be much harder to know for sure that the driver is a huge loser.

Here me out: Minecraft TTRPG. Rules heavy, use-based progression, percentile dice system.

It's been nearly half-a-year, but with this big dog, I am finally done painting my tiny army of sunburned goblins. We have a duty to each other to post our silly little guys. Even, and especially, on the darkest days.

Bluesky makes a lot more sense when you realize that Will Stancil is the child in the room in Omelas, chosen to suffer through no fault of his own so that the community can thrive. www.cs.ucdavis.edu/~koehl/Teach...

"Don't engage, just block" is part of what makes Bluesky awesome

Games Workshop is uniquely well-positioned and well-resourced to go after the LLM companies that have harvested hundreds of their Warhammer books to train their Abominable Intelligence.

It's the quote that makes it.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Please to report we have resumed trade with the penguins of Heard and McDonald Islands.
