What does a whale sound look like? 🌊🎧 This spectrogram reveals a textbook fin whale song recorded by a Slocum glider deployed off the Scotian Shelf with JASCO Applied Sciences. The mission also detected sei, humpback & pilot whales, plus dolphins.

So Eastern Front is co-producing "Frenchy's The Thrift Musical" with Parrsborro's Ship's Company. That's a bit out of the way from HRM if you don't have a car - so they're doing a bus trip! Includes lunch at the Harbour View, and stops at Masstown Market, and of course Frenchy's in Truro!

gm, everyone

A contractor building Meta's data center flushed its "closed-loop" cooling system straight into Cheyenne's sewer. It carried a bacterium and knocked the city's water-reuse system offline for months. They sell these as sealed systems that barely touch the water. This one poisoned a city's.

Years ago on the bird site I speculated/half-joked that When It Happens they just won’t admit it and the media will be too afraid to report it and was told that I was crazy but I dunno, friends, I dunno.

The complete elimination of Meta would yield unambiguous, far reaching benefits for global society.

It's fascinating to live in a time where the majority of global consumers are just fed up and hate everything new on the market. Hate removal of physical media Hate forced AI Hate video surveillance in cars and homes Hate micro transactions Hate digital subscriptions What a time to be alive!

"Countries that relied only on the normal tools (voting, suing, legislating) climbed back to democracy seven percent of the time... But! Countries that added a civil resistance movement on top of that... climbed back fifty-one percent of the time."

apparently they told people to go to the department of commerce for shelter but the doors are locked, and ngl that’s a good bit. say what you will about the big guy, but he hates his supporters as much as we do

"I've sold Brexits to Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook, and it sure put them on the map".

Have a safe 4th.

If it was a good investment, it would have private investors.

I don’t think we should idle car engines to solve Sudokus

"But I might be rich one day! I don't want to be taxed for all my money I may possibly have one day!"

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

Getting ready to hang out with some fish telemetry folks in a very chill open-floor Zoom environment. Check out our guest speakers for this month, a Q+A with Edward Lavender mid July and a deep dive into the work of the Smithsonian's own Beth Bowers! Join us Thursday afternoons if you're interested!

I welcome a fact check, but Spain, a nation of 50 million people, accomplished the bulk of this transition in about 6 years I believe. And that’s *without* the great new batteries.

Somehow a bunch of people who are better than me never lost hope and they worked their asses off to get us here and it’s really inspiring

absolute height of comedy is when they cut to the goal and you see how many kid keepers they've got

Read the damn room, Mr. Met.

To wit:

turns out being deliberately antagonistic towards the people who elected you in order to court people who would under no circumstances ever vote for you is not smart

Here's a fun fact about Elon Musk: in 2020, his (nominal) net worth was $20b, and today it's $1t (nominally). But *that's* not the fun fact; *this* is: everything he's done since 2020 was a flop. 1/

I just—like, sure, being a trillionaire is cool I guess but what’s it all for if you haven’t even seen the wreckage of the titanic firsthand

if I've said this once I've said it one million times, their little escape schemes only ever can and will end one way because they are definitionally unable to cooperate with other people. they are missing the part of their brains that creates Society

Ah, nova scotia. The sky is blue, its pouring rain, the birds are chirping, interrupted by thunder and lightning

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

thinking about this a lot today

Absolutely one of the most fun films of the last 10 years. Still begging for a "same cast playing different characters" sequel.

"The repercussions of Google's pivot to AI will be vast and horrid."

Ok this is a truly great tweet

It do be like that

Grimly amusing how Microsoft researchers showed, with substantial data, that frontier LLMs corrupt the hell out of documents in long delegated workflows, just so Microsoft could make them post, without any data in support, that the problem can be totally mitigated. www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear...

If I told you ten years ago all of the Jeopardy winners, doctors, lawyers, stat-focused sports nerds, and premium shitposters escaped Twitter on a pirate ship to a website that was completely inhospitable to Nazis and phrenologists……. I don’t know, man, I’d be pretty excited.

solar is so cool man. I climbed up on my shed roof last week and installed a panel to charge my yard tools and now I’m mowing my lawn with power I stole from a fucking star

@mayor.nyc.gov: “I have thought often of the "Margeret Thatcher quote: ‘the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.’ If anything, my friends, it seems that you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess."

I am not kidding about making a cabinet-level position for tearing Trump’s name off everything in this country you write this shit into a movie script before Trump came on the scene and you get laughed out of the room

he: hey, how's it going with your superglue project? me: 👌

We've become an unserious society because unserious people flood the zone without shame and wash out the serious people, who can never hope to keep up
