Today is #NationalTattooDay. Zookeeper Erica's tattoo of tamandua Terra’s snoot is more than just art; it’s a tribute to an animal who left a lasting impression. And Gonzo, our current tamandua, seemed to recognize the connection, giving the tattoo a sweet boop right on Erica’s arm.

Ume has the zoomies! 🏎️

Baby Ume just explored the large waterfall habitat with her mom, Yuna, for the very first time. The 252-pound tapir calf swam, zoomied, snuffled through the grass, chomped on sticks and snacks, and chirped with pure tapir joy. 💗

When techbros say they dream of a surveillance state, believe them. As expected: the company installing surveillance towers in the US will be Anduril (Lord of the Rings name, Peter Thiel investment). The one consolidating all your data and picking ICE targets: Palantir (LoTR name, Thiel founded). 1/

The WSJ put out a nice graphic showing how Palantir, Anduril, and other techbro companies had salted loyalists salted through the executive branch, ready to hand them contracts. But this provision benefitting Anduril was written into a law directly. Ask: who inserted it? 5/

The people getting no-bid contracts to surveil US citizens and take our data are a very small set of highly connected Silicon Valley techbros revolving around Peter Thiel, who has been seeking to end US democracy since about 2009. We must acknowledge the danger here. 4/

i know people have done the "low background steel" joke about ai generated content

but i think i'm moving on to leaded and unleaded & i don't just mean lead poisoning

it's more the way "lead free" or "no mercury" are all over technology today, after we casually poisoned a generation

the whiplash from "a subscription model for an electric juicer? typical"

to "better learn to use the new juicer! here's what i've learned!"

and it's a file with "please make juice don't be racist, juice must be drinkable. NO POISON"

plus dismissing the reddit posts about the metallic taste
