It's today, today!

In honor of #EarthDay, here is a reminder that there is a bot account that posts a photo of the whole Earth from a million miles away, taken by the Deep Space Climate Observatory, several times daily. You can view all the images (and zoom in) here: epic.gsfc.nasa.gov

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. "Skah-stee-yoo-kee-tlee" #SupermanDay

TAX DAY PRO TIP if you're filing by mail: Do not rely on a mailbox or a letter carrier today for filing your return on time. Go inside a post office and ask for a free manual postmark at the counter. Otherwise, your tax return may not get an April 15 postmark date and the IRS may apply penalties

To everyone celebrating Easter, Michelle and I wish you a joyful holiday filled with reminders of the enduring power of faith and hope.

Happy Easter! As Christians worldwide celebrate the Resurrection today, may all feel renewed in a sense of joy and hope.

never forget when the Easter Bunny sent Teddy Roosevelt to the shadow realm

Happy Easter to those celebrating! Here is my very favorite Easter painting: “Happy Easter” by Michel Sowa.

A thread worth reading, quote posted by a person you follow who has lived with the very brutal symptoms of as of yet incurable Long Covid for more than six very long years.

OK this is cool. The first time humans have seen the whole Mare Orientale on the far side of the Moon with their own eyes. See flic.kr/p/2s5HA2X 🧪🔭

If you are freaking out and need help doing this, TELL BLUESKY. One of us will help you! DO IT!

Everyone is making jokes about this, but I actually agree. I've done visits with high schoolers and been shocked that so many of them struggle to handwrite their own names. It's not about cursive exclusively. It's about fine motor skills, which our kids are losing.

I swear it is easier than you are afraid it is!!!

This is your reminder that if you are a class member and have NOT yet filed a claim in Anthropic v. Bartz, the AI copyright lawsuit, you have 9 days to do so.

If you are not impressed by the picture of a Black Hole, clearly you do not understand the gravity of the situation…

The USPS IS NOT LOSING MONEY. THE USPS IS SPENDING TAX DOLLARS ALLOCATED TO IT BY THE BUDGET. THE USPS SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO ZERO OUT ITS BALANCE SHEET IT IS NOT A BUSINESS IT DOES NOT HAVE SHAREHOLDERS. IF THE USPS IS OUTSPENDING ITS BUDGET IT SHOULD BE ALLOCATED MORE BUDGET.

Oh this is a really important win. So you know people who use AI generated images and then copy that as a physical painting? This means that as it has no copyright protection (because AI does not), if it's too similar to the existing art AI ripped off, it is easier to fight back legally.

Support the USPS

Anyway maybe I feel especially mad about this because I’m from Colorado and search and rescue is extremely overburdened because people don’t know how to behave outdoors and ChatGPT is giving advice that is killing tourists. But yeah. Don’t leave people alone in situations that could kill them.

They just had a $4000 Bigfoot statue on The Price Is Right and I am dying. 😂

An author is worried that their book might "die on submission" and wanted a pep talk. Here's why I hate that phrase, and also case studies, and also a pep talk! It's not that it hasn't happened. It just hasn't happened YET. YET: YOU'RE ELIGIBLE, TOO. www.tumblr.com/literaticat/...

The trailer for EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY. In select theaters starting April 17th 🍿🤑🤣

Bookday! It's my bookday! Out today is BUTTERFLY EFFECTS, the fifteenth (15! How did that happen?) adventure in the InCryptid series, and the third book narrated by Sarah Zellaby. Sarah's adopted, which is relevant only because she's not human. She's still family. Biology is irrelevant.

Women’s History Month tends to be overrun with tributes to white women who fought for the vote. It’s also the perfect time to highlight how many Black women did the same at the intersections of other causes.

I think we could all do with some 400-year-old flowering ume (flowering Japanese sour plum-apricot) bonsai in our lives. This is the 75th anniversary Nagahama Bonbai (ume bonsai) Exhibition. And this incredible 400-year-old tree is Furo, meaning Eternal Youth. #JohnDoesJapan

holy shit

Oh no wonder I’m still tired! #DaylightSaving

Anyways.

Common thread in all the things wrong with genAI use across industries is that genAI is fundamentally anti-community and community is the most important part of any discipline, tradition, craft, study.

A dear friend's cat is dealing with anemia and needs blood transfusions, and I am so worried for her, but wanted to pause and remind folks that cats and dogs can be blood donors. If you have a healthy animal between 1-6 years of age, look for a program near you. Save some lives.
