As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.

Sentry gets into the holiday spirit! 🦃 During a 2016 expedition aboard the research vessel Atlantis, WHOI engineer Justin Fujii embellished our underwater robot Sentry with electrical tape to resemble a turkey. ⁠ How do you celebrate holidays when you can't be with family or friends?

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before

it feels incredibly ridiculous I spent a good chunk of my career working on developing skills and experience in feature writing when there are very few jobs doing this anymore and then learning how Olivia Nuzzi got her job at Vanity Fair despite truly terrible ethics and questionable writing skills

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much). If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking: -fancy ginger beer -coconut water -premium juices like lychee and guava -apple cider with cinnamon -Italian sodas -sparkling water Lots of options!

“Once, after the group bought out a tamale vendor’s cart, that man found them days later to say immigration agents were spotted on his block just hours after. ‘You saved my life,’ Rosales said the man told them.” apnews.com/article/chic...

Better yet, normalise not making alcoholic options your opening offer? What can I get you to drink? We have....

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

bluesky checked the IP addresses of pro-turkey posters and they're all posting from hungry

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people. It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they overturned women’s constitutional right to an abortion three years ago

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago

Fix your hearts or die, you monsters.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Guys I found something worse than asking ChatGPT to do your homework

Wife has been terminally offline of late and asked what this whole bamboo thing is all about and I got 2 sentences in and now she's not talking to me anymore

I do not use ChatGPT because I still remember when you had to go to your local at a specific time of day to listen to someone slurring conspiracy theories with utmost confidence and I will never allow Sam Altman to take that from me

Saw this beautiful nudibranch at Bird Rock, San Diego. No idea what species and iNaturalist tried to tell me it was an anemone. 🙄 Anyone on #Invertsky have an id for this beauty? 🧪

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Stoplight Parrotfish, just a ridiculously beautiful animal. #scuba #diving #oceans 🦑

Lies, it was The Cigarette Smoking Man!!! (THIS IS A JOKE)

I hope life treats you kind And I hope you have all that you ever dreamed of And I wish you joy and happiness But above all of this I wish you love

I'm made of stardust, but I still have to do chores.

Our veterinary team recently performed a delicate eye surgery to remove a cataract from our filefish. Working with veterinary ophthalmologist Dr. Kice, our team successfully removed the cloudy lens, helping this fish see (and eat!) more easily again. The patient is now recovering behind the scenes.

Real sickos didn't forget the bamboo Ryan.

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

Israel cannot break ceasefires, they can only “test“ them by killing dozens of people

i have never needed to know what the discourse is less

The Internet was a mistake. Literacy was a mistake. The whole species needs to seriously consider going back into the water. And I haven't even read whatever it is you all are talking about.

Night like tonight you really start to think about how much fun it's gonna be when it happens.

Doomscroll safety stop 🛑 Seeing this longhorn cowfish at the Birch Aquarium this week brought a smile to my face. Like other boxfishes, they are fins-only swimmers because their scales fuse together, preventing the body from bending. And they look like Zoolander doing blue steel. Ok carry on

every week we get to friday and i think well maybe next week will not be so weird

it's happening

Someone check if Bowie is alive and the Cubs are still perennial losers.

Unpacking. Seems like a metaphor for something…

PSA: When you're at a conference, especially one like ABRCMS, and you feel the need to tell a student at their poster that their work is shit, maybe, I dunno, kick rocks??? What is wrong with people.
