One of my favorite things to come out of modern super bowls is the education piece that happens on social media as symbolism in halftime shows is contextualized. It's very sexy of all of you nerds.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

SPOOD! As promised from a few days ago when I found this little work of art in a shrub next to my driveway. Spiny-backed Orb-weaver (Gasteracantha cancriformis, probably) surrounded by Indra's Net, otherwise known as a web full of raindrops. 🌿📷🐙#spiders

I'm late to the party (it's been a busy weekend) but I had to post at least one #SuperbOwl before calling it a day :) #birds 🌿

Pastel sunset from Waterville, IN yesterday. Looks almost desert like to me.

oh, this is going to end in tears and electrical fires.

Okay so a thing I LOVED about that is how, whereas so many halftime shows kind of elevate the star above the other dancers/extras—often literally—that was like the exact opposite, he was *with and among* the people around him

another gloomy foggy day but everybody looked extra special with the lovely rime ice...the Waxwing got frosted tips too!😂 #birds

The kids who live up the street started a little parade and have walked up and down the road banging pots and pans yelling “go Seahawks” and I am 100% here for this energy 💙💚

Dayum.

i worry that a 5-year stretch of nothing but ads for NFTs, bitcoin, and AI is a long enough gap that this nation's once-great advertising industry will forget how to sell a product people actually want

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books. She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it. It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

Mozilla will allow Firefox users to entirely block current and future generative AI features on the browser after user feedback revealed many who wanted an AI-free browser experience.

I've always hated instagram for UX reasons, but seeing a professional artist/environmentalist made a cutesy "teehee try this CGPT prompt to make a caricature of yourself" made me want to burn the platform to the ground.

Happy #SuperbOwl Sunday!

Every Thursday night I live stream nail art. For my first stream of Black History Month I asked chat to choose between 4 Black scientists I’d pre-selected. Chat, in their usual fashion, said “all 4, please”. Hence: Margaret Collins, Kathrine Johnson, Sophie Lutterlough, and Charles Henry Turner.

Catherine O’Hara… she was great. I always liked her attitude. I hadn’t seen this in years and a fan shared it with me. May her memory be a blessing.

I’ve been resting and decompressing this afternoon (not spending hours watching hoping Ravi would show up- no no 😉😑). I thought I heard clacking but no show. This young speed demon did just stop by for a minute. Hi Sharpie! Yep, you scared everybirdy away. 1- I see you 2- big eyes 3,4- not staying🪶

Happy #Caturday from Peanut! 🐈‍⬛🐾 #BlackCats #Cats #CatsofBluesky

Get you a friend like @rosemarymosco.com who will remind you to stop and smell the stinkhorn fungus

I've only ever seen Redheads from far away, so I was super happy to spot these beauties tooling around with a Greater Scaup today. 😊 #birds

I never finished posting photos of the river otters I took last weekend! Here is the whole family. #Otters #RiverOtters #Photography #Mammals #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography #TexasStateParks

The term for this movement is "galumphing," and the seal can still move at up to 6-8 mph. In "true seals", the hip is fused to the pelvis. In sea lions, there's still some mobility in the hip joint, but limited by the mass of 'body wall' around it.

I hit the Pine Grosbeak jackpot! #birds #birding #algoma #pinegrosbeak

Farmers in the U.S. have grown cannabis since the 1600s — but policymakers are still figuring out how to regulate two famous types of Cannabis sativa. A historian calls the plant "incredibly cryptic."

I am terrible at compressing giant image files for social media and keeping quality intact, but wanted to share this comically small short-eared owl harassing this bald eagle. The scruffy looking eagle was trying to land but oh noooo said the small #bird enforcement officer. 1/2

So are the venues that still set film titles in roman and quotes going to have to refer to it as “‘Wuthering Heights’”? ’Cause that’ll be fun.

I honestly don't know how people can afford to be a sports fan. It costs more than my park passes and I have *4*

my version of this is that it costs more to be a sports fan (or a sports parent) than it does to be a classical music fan (or parent) but guess which one of these activities is widely considered elitist

I sang along with "why don't you get things started?????" and started crying. #StrongFeelingsAboutMuppets

Dig the duffle coats on the US Team. The rope toggles harken back to the original military design when the Allies fought fascists. Manufacturers such as Gloverall switched to leather after the war to make the civilian versions feel more "upscale."

“That means that they can track your location, where you go, what you do and especially who you talk to," U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden said.
