A digital simulation of a work and weathered two color relief print on toned paper. A black goat with big horns curving back in a somewhat exaggerated running or prancing pose is turning his head to look back over his shoulder. There is a pole topped with a small inverted cross crooked in one of his front legs and attached to the pole, streaming over the goat, is a red banner bearing some crusty looking blackletter script reading β€˜Maybe it will happen today’

Breaking: NBC fires teams of journalists focused on marginalized communities, axing NBC Out & NBC BLK staff NBC News has fired journalists who reported on Black, Latino, Asian and LGBTQ+ communities.

Very sad to see NBC Out go down. I know journalists who have worked there and it was home to some of the best in depth reporting on LGBTQ+ issues out there from a legacy media outlet.

Legacy media continues to abandon us, and it seems only we can tell our own stories these days.

Marilyn Monroe in Game of Thrones? AI Could Make It Happen Soon

Despite early, and familiar, copyright growing pains, Sora may be the prelude to AI-generated on-demand TV and movies

Screenshot includes an AI generated image of what looks like a human cross between Daenaerys Targaryen and Marilyn Monroe on the back of a dragon.

I don't know how many times to point out that is absolutely ghoulish and non-consensual and disgusting behavior.
To exploit the image of a dead woman who was also exploited in real life so you can live out your momentary fantasies of "what is possible" with AI is bad science journalism, also.
Sick.

We would like to take today to thank the bats for all the work they do around the planet. Our bats in Alberta are big insect-consumers - a non-paying job that benefits agriculture and forestry by reducing the costs of pest control. By reducing the amounts of pesticides used on the landscape - WE benefit by improved health outcomes. Over-looked and underappreciated - many people do not understand how important these little insectivores are in our daily lives. 

But boy oh boy are they awesome!

(Starting upper left and moving clockwise - our nine Alberta bats include: Long-eared Myotis, Little Brown Myotis, Red Bat, Western Small-footed Myotis, Silver-haired Bat, Big Brown Bat, Hoary Bat and Long-legged Myotis - missing Northern Myotis in the collage!  photos by Jason Headley, Cory Olson and Melissa Penney and JT Layne)

Give thanks to bats! Alberta’s bats munch millions of insects, saving farmers & foresters on pest controlβ€”and helping our health by reducing pesticide use. Overlooked & underappreciated, these tiny insectivores quietly make life better for us all. #ThankABat

An Incredible Wolf-Dog Hybrid Has Emerged from the Mountains of Greece Wolves and dogs don’t normally breed in the wild, largely because wolves are so territorial. But an exception has been found.

BREAKING: Scientists have found wild #wolfdogs roaming the mountains of Greece.

In nature, wolves and dogs rarely interbreed. This is fascinating.

AI companies are spending billions on deals with each other, which boost their value.

This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025.

Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment.

Be warned.
