Absolutely astonishing observations from CETI scientists who happened to be in the right place at the right time and documented a sperm whale giving birth, supported by whales in her group. Related and non-kin females lifted the calf out of the water, buoying it up for hours after delivery 🧪

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Got an email promoting a "Groundbreaking AI-Generated Documentary on Science and Faith" and while I know what each of those individual words mean, in this particular order they are a cipher wrapped in an enigma and stuffed in a riddle A virtual turducken of meaninglessness & mystery, if you will

Making an unexpected trip to the ER after a scalding incident involving hot coffee & a cracked French press (truly an awesome way to find out it was cracked), if you have any videos as distracting as these alpacas being confused by a hedgehog I'd really love to see them

Saving this alongside my fave note on writing by Darwin, in an 1861 letter to Charles Lyell: "But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything. One lives only to make blunders. I am going to write a little Book for Murray on orchids & today I hate them worse than everything"

Happy #WorldParasiteAwarenessDay to all who celebrate! If you're curious about parasites that manipulate behavior, might I recommend my book, Rise of the Zombie Bugs? It's been called "fascinating" and also "terrifying" (much like parasites themselves) and is loaded with parasite+zombie science 🧪🧟‍♀️

Stepping back from The Daily Horrors for a moment of #FossilFriday with the birdlike dinosaur Eoneophron infernalis—Pharaoh's dawn chicken from Hell—described in 2024 What's extra cool about this fossil is how it offers clues about dinosaur diversity prior to the KT asteroid & mass extinction 🧪☄️

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...
