I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

#IMOG25 day 3. I think I got clipped into the #backrooms... Wonder what the lipids look like in the infinite carpet

#IMOG25 day 2. Body is already 1/3 caffeine, 1/3 Portuguese food, and 1/3 biomarkers.

#IMOG25 day 1. Already doing important networking, though this college was quite skittish

The sign, Cthulhu, the velvet worm, hallucigenia. Love everything about this image 🥺

Was having a bit of a rough day and oh boy... Okarun's fight with Evil Eye, OMG, I really needed that today #DanDaDan

I saw a possum last night runnin like this across the street it was so cute.

First day it starts to feel like Autumn in Paris + seeing the banger movie #Weapons. It's officially Spooky Season for me 🎃🍂

Great when your institution doesn't have access to a journal (which fair), but also they have SciHub blocked in the network. Like wow, now this is way more complicated and will increase any vulnerability you were trying to avoid. Awesome

At some point, during grad school, @paleopatt.bsky.social, me, and other people joked on using Shaq as an unit system (distance, isotopic composition, etc). Glad to see the #Creepcast podcast having the same idea.

Noah and the whale being part of the #Superman soundtrack is such a fun surprise, and I loved it!

This surprisingly relaxing footage is from SIX MILES under the ocean – and it’s the deepest ecosystem yet discovered

It always makes me so happy changing the page in the @heikala.bsky.social calendar. This month is SO cute!

Josh awakened slowly. The last thing he remembered was the glint of the axe as it came down, and then... darkness. Where was he? Why was he naked? Why the hell couldn't he feel his limbs? As his vision cleared, he looked down. That's when he saw the nails. Josh began to scream.

Movie you've watched more than 6x using a gif (no Disney, Star Wars, LOTR, or Star Trek)

Bee flies are way too cute #insects #inverts #flies #indrawing #sciart

What actor's expression in a movie will stay with you for the rest of your life? ☹️

Using food to show where I grew up

Last weekend I visited the charming town of Chevreuse, just outside of Paris. However can't say I can remember how I got back home, and this is the only picture in my phone. Any idea what causes this glitch in Android phones?

Me, daily

Truly living in the future. I have always dreamed of chatting with my document scanner app using AI 😒 #Adobe truly bringing us to the year 300000...

Ok, but the Cells at Work Netflix live action remake? 🤣 I thought it was a weird choice for a remake, but I'm really enjoying them just embracing the Power Ranger vibe

my soft and comfortable mama

Totally awesome not being able to work on the papers I want to finish because I need to write job applications so I can get a job, for which I would have a better chance if I could finish the papers I need to finish, but also can't get a job without applying, but also... Ugh
