Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

My favorite photos from the Olympics are of this Italian figure skater Daniel Grassl. He looks absolutely insane in so many of them. It's great.

We just found out our AI has been making up
analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna
throw up.

So we've been using an Al agent since November to
answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed
amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations,
everyone loved it.
I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this
entire time.
Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on
data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a
deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing
plausible sounding percentages.
I only caught it by accident when someone asked me
to double check something. I started digging, and
holy shit, it's bad.

A dog that looks like a cross between a fox and a shrew wearing pants on his back legs. He's standing in a kitchen and his facial expression suggests that he's been lured into a serial killer's lair. He's resigned to his fate.

Yesterday my human nephew suggested that his canine brother might like to wear pants. Reader, he did not like it but he tolerated it, and this facial expression is my forever mood. πŸ˜‚

It doesn't explain his relationship to the rest of the human race but a big part of RFK Jr.'s broader damage is clearly trying to find out if he can die. I guess if I had lived a life like his and was somehow still around drinking out of puddles at 72 I'd have some questions on that as well.

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Gandalf really is heroic when you consider that there were originally five wizards and one of them turned evil, two of them fucked off and went out east to have orgies, and one is just super into talking to gophers. The one last hope of free peoples was the stoner and that crazy mfer did it.

The video is doing well on Instagram (30k views vs the usual 800), and I’m getting comments from exotic vets and lizard owners praising the exercise and enrichment here.
I’m happy it’s recognized! Too many monitor lizards end up with metabolic diseases because of overfeeding and lack of exercise 🦎

"Folk" makes so many things better.

Metal is great. Folk metal is transcendent.

I love lore, but not as much as folklore.

Horror? Good. Folk horror? Best.

Long live folk!
