Here's an image that requires a second look. It looks like a creature with big dark eyes is peering at you: it's not. You're looking at a FROG'S BUTT (you pervert). Let's meet the Cuyaba dwarf frog (Physalaemus nattereri). Maybe we should start with seeing the front of it? (📷: George Grall)

Futures are down. Your futures. Also, the stock market is down.

When they tell you that if you do not take off your mask, that if you do not start using AI, that if you do not get with the times, that you will be left behind, remember: it is perfectly acceptable to respond by telling them that you do not want to go where they’re going.

we have saved daylight but at what cost

The best curling shot I've ever seen!

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Like we do every year, tonight we go back…. to the future.

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day. Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

Folks in health care: DO NOT FUCKING WEAR THESE-**ESPECIALLY** IN PATIENT CARE AREAS! If I ever catch a colleague wearing these, I am reporting them to management, the state, whatever press outlets I can, and to the patient & their family. I do not care who it pisses off. Just fucking DO NOT.

Oh fucking what now

hahaha heyyyyy this is .... bad

My friend the climatologist tells me what worries him is the climate. My friend the epidemiologist tells me what worries them are infections. My friend the historian tells me what worries her are the people who aren’t worried.

Timeline cleanse: Baby tapir getting scritches for their itches. If you want to scritch your very own tapir & you live outside of Central or South America or SE Asia, you'll need to visit a zoo. But these little guys are (evolutionarily) from around here, in North America. Let's talk about it.

The world would be a better place if we all had more clips from Better Off Ted shown to us anywhere algorithms do their thing.

In my utopian vision of the future, instead of offloading all the pointless, annoying work tasks (like reports that none one will read and needlessly opaque forms) to robots, we restructure work and society so that the pointless tasks don't happen at all.

As a public service, I thought I'd offer a little constructive criticism of the most popular styles of bike racks, since it appears that the entities that manufacture and install these racks are clueless about the needs of actual bike riders.

Hey, BC, in case you missed the memo: All hormone replacement therapy, contraceptives, AND diabetes medications will be 100% free in British Columbia starting March 1. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Alt text: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles logo, with the words switched to universal basic income.

People don’t “identify as trans or queer” they ARE those things. Pronouns generally aren’t “preferred” those are just the pronouns of that person. Waffling language leads to thinking these things are optional, not factual.

Done

Chick out this new arrival 🐥 A wattled jacana chick recently hatched at the San Diego Zoo. With long toes perfect for walking on lily pads and a devoted dad keeping a watchful eye, this tiny adventurer is ready to explore.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

reminder another reason to do alt text is that the same good alt text also helps people who don't know the same cultural references as you look stuff up. what show is that? who is that actor? what's happening in that scene? people are here from different generations, countries, interest circles etc!

February is Inclusive Education Month. Seems like a good time to remind parents that: Integration does NOT equal Inclusion/Inclusive Education. Inclusive Education means disabled students having access to ALL of their needed educational supports, in order to succeed in their goals. #BCEd #BCPoli

Create a free CBC account and tell them the headline on this article is bullshit. Open AI explicitly DID NOT reach out to RCMP. That’s the whole fucking story! Jesus Christ.

When I admitted to her
that at times it is a challenge at times it really is challenge
to keep writing these,
she asked if I had ever
considered using AI,
and in response I told her
that I am trying to document the plagues of our time

#BCBudget2026: Deep in Tuesday’s budget documents, the B.C. government quietly scrapped the independent office of the legislature responsible for making sure public service hirings are based on merit.

I just got my annual Public Lending Right cheque for Because Internet from the Canada Council for the Arts, so permit me a thread about what the public lending right is and why you should request books you love from public libraries!

Ever time I think of upgrading to the paid version of CBC Gem there’s some different problem with the free version that makes me doubt the likely quality/value.

I had the opportunity to rise during Senate Question Period this week, to ask about the Canadian government's continued commitment to using X for official communications - and about their failure to use sites such as Bluesky and Mastodon. What do you think? #cdnpoli #Canada #Grok #X #Bluesky
