Among the more ubiquitous of the world's feathered folk, the humble house sparrow (Passer domesticus indicus) adds a dash of life to the mundanity of the life urbane, with it's cacophony of chirps and cheeps, no matter which part of the world one may find it in.

I personally will not use any kind of generative AI for any reason on the grounds that the whole project is unethical, but I get that there are some sensible use cases in principle. Using it for species identification is definitely not one of them.

👇🏼

Instead of using AI tools to help (incorrectly) identify wildlife, use a field guide (online, or otherwise), and hone your observation and identification skills in the process.

Because I can never advocate for them enough, have a peaceful San Joaquin kit fox kind of morning. #kitfox #sjkf #mammals

A.I. can’t pick blueberries shirtless in the morning sun and comprehend that an alien left behind its husk amidst the leaves.

In the upper third is a wooden bee house, a sign-like structure with many straw like tubes and pieces of wood with holes drilled in them for native bees to use. In the far background are buildings of the Edinburgh airport.

YouTube video by JuanBagnell Don't buy a "dumb" phone (just yet...)

I love seeing these topics in the media, people looking to simplify or streamline their daily tech use, but maybe DONT buy an expensive phone JUST because it does less than a normal smartphone?

The Galaxy S25 Edge shows Samsung has run out of ideas What do we really get when the main selling point of a gadget is "thinness"? Samsung will ask consumers to pay a lot for the new Edge smartphone, but consumers aren't getting more for their money.

Is "thin" a feature you would pay more for on your next phone? If it meant less battery life and slower charging speeds?

It's fun. I've been on NBC on TV and now on the Internet 😁

BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired Let's all close our eyes and go back to 2009 so we can feel the thrill of typing our first email on the go.

About two months old, but I think we could expect some really cool tactile keyboard wielding communicator style devices from the likes of Unihertz, going forward!

The teeniest patch of purple hepatica survived Calgary’s weird winter. Huzzah!

A quite large Johnson's Red Jumping spider living in one of my salvias scored what looks like a crab spider for breakfast this morning.

In case anyone was wondering what the dangling crow was up to. Well big news! First of all, they’re still at the crowbatics - pic is from today. And! They have a nest in the big cedar! So I’ve been seeing them fly from the nest to the aerial for some dangling then back up to the nest 😍 #Corvids 🦉

The Crab Museum in Margate, UK is awesome. Their statement is awesome. It’s a fun museum, combining science, information, politics and humour. Go visit them

Time someone cashed in on those - something like this could easily get a (niche-community) of BlackBerry die-hards regularly returning with their business.

I would still daily a Key2 if I could. I loved that device.

I wish they would. But seeing as they have managed to 'pay homage' to BlackBerry devices in the past, without shelling out licensing fees, by tweaking the design just enough, and the fact that they are based in China gives me very little hope they might.

A Titan 5G would hit that BlackBerry Key'3' spot just fine!
