Dark skies reflect my sadness at the firings of all the humans that help keep the #GreatLakes as healthy as possible. Tonight I mourn the loss of the 14 @usfws.bsky.social employees that kept the invasive sea lamprey at bay. My fishery will be hurt. ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ

I had a walk today and thought about the relationship between civility, discomfort, and abuse.

Some of you know that โ€œcivilityโ€ is one of my hard โ€œughโ€ triggers. This thread will explain why.

A Knight's Tale is Heath Ledger's best role and I will not be debating it.

A Knight's Tale is also basically a perfect movie. I will not be debating that either.

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

mine will always be the sperm whale who reacted to a Roman soldier throwing a bottle at him off the Byzantine coast by sinking every ship he could off that coast for the next 60 years and had the emperor declare him an enemy of the state and name him after the Titan who attacked mount olympus

The main arcade in the arcade building in St Louis Missouri Post image Post image Post image

Only took me 11 years to finish editing this set.

The Arcade Building - St. Louis, Missouri.

Fun fact: it reopened around a year and a half after I shot these. Clearly, theyโ€™re faster than I am.

Subtitles arenโ€™t just for deaf or hard of hearing players. Theyโ€™re important for players in loud environments (who canโ€™t use headphones), non-native speakers who rely on text to follow dialogue, and many neurodivergent folks who struggle to focus or process audio quickly. Just to mention few.

A map of flight paths emanating from breeding colony of gulls, with this caption: Early on, LifeWatch noticed something odd. Most gulls were making daily trips to Mouscron, a city on the French border 65 km away. They went to investigate and found the birds bingeing on discarded snacks at the Roger & Roger potato factory.

Today in relatable science: Gulls making a mysterious daily trip that turned out to be to a potato chip factory

One of the Most Audacious Pranks in History Was Hidden in a Hit TV Show for Years. Not Everyone Foun... Abortion activism, anti-gun propaganda, and HIV awareness, smuggled onto prime time.

How is this the first I'm hearing about the guerrilla art collective that infiltrated Melrose Place's prop department?!
