When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured” www.reuters.com/investigatio...

The other week, we went to do a final clean out my late MiL’s house and a non-binary friend came out to help us get rid of heavy garden stuff. Several days later, our toddler goes “I have a question about Alex” I was like oh dear here we go but then the question was “why didn’t they have a table?”

Don't touch AI. Can't afford an artist? Decopaghe with public domain art. Let the bubble burst and kill the AI

I never noticed this either.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

Ah, the time of year when sorting the grocery store's vegetables into "Prepared in Canada" means potatoes, rutabagas, mushrooms, lettuce and bean sprouts only

You seriously couldn't dare to be this heavy handed in FICTION

Just want to say that @nblung.bsky.social is really leading nationally and in such a fantastic way. Please do what you can to support them, whether it is by social media follows and engagement or financial donation. They are the best ‘established’ ally I have found. Great folks. Great work.

The most heinous of these is finding what you think is an article, but it ends up being a webpage where the person just embedded their YouTube video.

I was listening to the @justthezooofus.bsky.social ep about red foxes, particularly the part about foxes potentially using magnetoreception to target prey pointing northeast, thought about the fox I saw pouncing in the snow in my yard, curiously got out a compass... it did pounce northeast!! NEAT

I think about this post a lot.

It worked out that today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Iridescent because I was already outside in -25 C windchill just to take pictures of pigeons in my backyard. Every pigeon I've ever seen is the most beautiful pigeon in the world. I love them so much, okay #Photography #BackyardWildlife #Birds

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Iridescent (birds with iridescent colours). To demonstrate, here is a dull black Common Grackle. 😉 #birds #photography

Legal fees for Maine families: many big orgs can’t cover these, but the Maine Solidarity Fund does, and was established by a coalition of some of the best local non-profits. www.mainesolidarity.org

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Another world is possible if we fight for it.

the "medieval people didn't know how to draw animals" crowd has been real quiet ever since john siferwas dropped the Perfect Woodcock

"The defence contractor Roshel, based in Brampton, Ont., has a $10 million contract to build 20 armoured vehicles for ICE." Roshel was one of the companies that bid on the armoured vehicle for Halifax Regional Police.

it is impossible to miss the difference between the names you see in newspaper headlines and the names you don't see in newspaper headlines

Every little bit helps. EVERY. Little. Bit. Don't listen to the haters and the self-appointed purity/heroism cops. Do what you CAN, and don't self-bash for not doing more.

I didn't know how many people I followed on socials were from Minnesota until they started posting that they weren't safe leaving their homes

in times of turmoil it is very easy to feel like theres nothing you can do to help, especially if you are far away, but i promise buckaroo EVERYTHING helps. there is direct action like donating money or protesting, and there is cultural action like creating art and cultivating atmosphere of change

Love to get blocked out of my bank account because it wants me to upload biometrics suddenly ("INTERAC will collect your information and use automated facial comparison technology") which it says is optional but won't let me in if I don't do it, and then it doesn't work anyway, cool and great

I've reached out to all Canadian companies listed here to ask if they intend to continue working with ICE: Hootsuite Roshel Garda Jim Pattison Developments I've also reached out to @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social's team for comment on export permits for Canadian sale of armoured vehicles to ICE.

Take new kind of iron pill to help with low iron symptoms. Get sudden worse symptoms of low iron. I would like to go inside my body like Osmosis Jones to figure out what exactly it's doing here

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

I feel like all my energy is going into staying slightly warm. Does that mean it's time to turn on the baseboard heater perhaps (we have a heat pump)

minneapolis was my home for years. sending endless solidarity and support to my neighbors, colleagues, and loved ones there right now. we protect each other. abolish ice until nothing is left. support any way you can at standwithminnesota.org and join me in donating to pow wow grounds & mim today!

let’s be primitive horses with mama

These folks could really use some funds right now if you have any to spare. Reposts are helpful, too! Donate to Support Black Trans Safety! www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Must be confusing for him that regular Minnesotans are more competent at safeguarding our neighbors than ICE is at literally anything

so don't get too comfortable. #art

For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank! linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid

People get their news via social media these days. Newspapers always have a comics section, because if there's not something good to look forward to, people stop showing up to learn about the bad. So post your art &don't feel bad about it. We're the cheese wrapped around these hard to swallow pills.

Here’s a good list of organizations who are helping folks in Minnesota. Support them!

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

TTRPG friends, Matt, our friend and community member @nurdrocks.bsky.social has been taken by ICE while his back was turned, peacefully protesting. Matt is the founder of Justice Frontline Aid that provides aid & education in the MN community. I've linked the video footage below. Do not stay silent.

It's the last day of #BirdArtWeek2026! Today is #CharismaticEndemics. The Ipswich Sparrow has a fairly broad range, so it isn't technically endemic to one spot, but it breeds ONLY on tiny, beautiful Sable Island, Nova Scotia (better known for its sand dunes and feral horses!). #art #SableIsland

insane scenes coming out of Minneapolis
