Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

A round, light brown tablet made of clay with three lines of cuneiform scripts. Two rulings, or traced straight lines, enclose the writing. The photo also shows the sides of the tablet, including a few damaged parts.

May as well dive right in.

Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball?

According to a Sumerian proverb, “The dog understands ‘Take it!’ It does not understand ‘Put it down!’”

JAXA astronaut Kimiya Yui captured the dazzling colors of the Aurora Borealis as seen from NASA's International Space Station in footage released on January 11.

ich hoffe sooo sehr das es diese #Revolution schafft! Sie haben es sich alle so sehr verdient in Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung zu leben.

A bit of good news this week…Y’all may remember this graphic I made, showcasing what the President’s budget request would do to NASA’s science fleet (tldr it would decimate it). Well the house just passed a bill that soundly rejects these cuts, keeping NASA funding roughly the same as last year🧪🔭

same feeling (same age since some days) I'm not ignoring the reality, but I draw a red line of my daily maximum capacity of stupidity in the world

😲 that year I was born 🙈😅

Hell World. Hell World. Hell World.

screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

Saw this adorable French animation ad and I had to share it over here! The style looks familiar but I can’t my finger on what group it is. Any ideas?

When the Earth warmed by 4C over 10,000 years 76% of all animals on the planet died.

We’re on track for 4C of heating in our children’s lifetimes.

Living through the most dangerous moment in our species history, & most people have no idea.

We’re being distracted to death.

It takes 225 million years or so for the Solar System to make one orbit around the galaxy. Sharks evolved long enough ago that they’ve done it twice.

oh man, kann man sich gar nicht ausmalen was da noch auf die zukommt. Kat 5 ist super heftig. Ich hoffe er dreht doch noch etwas ab 🫣

Gott steht vor einer Art Thermostat mit der Aufschrift "Deppen", das auf höchster Stufe 10 steht. Empört dreht er sich um und ruft: "Hey! Wie lang ist das schon so?"

Seufz.

Gibt es neue Erkenntnisse zu Weißen Löchern? Bin da sehr neugierig über alles was mit Astrophysik zu tun hat.
