Any noticeably common reason for them to do it?

My thoughts exactly, also compounded with age and already too much dystopia irl. Give me funny, hopeful shows. Some deep sarcasm is ok.

They may try the current administration's model for doing stuff: disassemble with a pickaxe and assemble later using hand-waving 😑

Qwant Fast, reliable answers and still in trust: Qwant does not store your search data, does not sell your personal data and is hosted in Europe.

I haven't used Google in months now. I'm using Qwant, a great European search engine, no 'AI overviews', no corporate bs. Got the Internet back 👍

In an unconscionable decision, the Smithsonian Institute has decided to no longer support the Biodiversity Heritage Library from 1 Jan 2026. Please someone step up and take it over.

Petition: Tell Canada to oppose the Mining Code and protect the deep sea from mining. Sign the Greenpeace petition to tell Canada to oppose the Mining Code and protect the deep sea from mining.

Canadian-based The Metals Company (@themetalsco.bsky.social) is pushing to mine the deep sea. Canada must double-down to #StopDeepSeaMining and oppose the Mining Code that would open oceans to irreversible damage. @greenpeaceca.bsky.social Add your name: act.gp/3ZXB5ll

Humpback Whales: Why are They so Lumpy and Bumpy? Whales fins, head and body covered in lumps, bumps, barnacles, tubercles and scarring. Why? and for what purpose.

Besides, all astronomers, even radio astronomers, should be granted perfect eyesight as a matter of fact.

A line graph illustrating the relationship between cumulative CO₂ emissions and global surface temperature increase. The title reads: “Every tonne of CO₂ emissions adds to global warming.” A subtitle states: “Global surface temperature increase since 1850–1900 (°C) as a function of cumulative CO₂ emissions (GtCO₂).” Y-axis (vertical): Labeled “Find out” on the left side (as a humorous annotation), with the actual scale running from 0°C to 3°C, representing the temperature increase. X-axis (horizontal): Labeled “Fuck around” at the bottom (as a humorous annotation), with a scale ranging from 0 to 4500 GtCO₂, indicating cumulative CO₂ emissions since 1850. A black jagged line represents historical global warming data, rising steadily from near 0°C to about 1.1°C as cumulative emissions reach approximately 2500 GtCO₂. The graph highlights a near-linear relationship between cumulative CO₂ emissions and global temperature increase, as stated in a text box within the plot area. Five colored shaded regions (with corresponding trend lines) represent different future emission scenarios (until 2050): SSP1-1.9 (light blue) SSP1-2.6 (blue) SSP2-4.5 (orange) SSP3-7.0 (red-orange) SSP5-8.5 (red) These scenario pathways show increasing temperature outcomes with higher emissions, with SSP1-1.9 leading to the lowest warming and SSP5-8.5 to the highest. The graph replaces conventional axis labels with the meme-inspired phrases “Fuck around” (X-axis) and “Find out” (Y-axis), emphasizing the consequence of emissions on global warming.

Here's a figure from IPCC AR6 Summary for Policymakers showing the linear relationship between fucking around and finding out.

Every tonne of CO₂ we add to the atmosphere makes things worse for us and all other living things.

Abandoned lynx, roaming wild boar, ‘beaver bombing’ – has rewilding got out of hand? From unauthorised species releases to small groups buying up land, ‘guerrilla rewilding’ is going mainstream. But experts worry that these rogue efforts could do more harm than good

I feel like going a bit wild myself XD

As you probably heard, Amazon is coming for Ireland. It’ll come for our small shops, it’ll come for our department stores, and it’ll come for our media, our journalism, and our democracy.

It's everywhere, so much indeed it'll become true after some time XD

A large dog should do too, a quick web search produced 1000 sites about "how to stop your dog from chasing sheep"

The last few seconds show it landed on 3 legs and then shifted a bit to the right, settling on the fourth and raising the previous one.

What do they mean "to prevent conflict-of-interest"? There most obviously are conflicts-of-interest, too late for that isn't it?

More relevant than ever 😄

Pics or it never happened, right?

CISA works with other agencies like the FBI's Cyber Division for criminal investigations, and US-CERT (United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team)

For serious breaches involving national security, the NSA or other intelligence agencies might also become involved.

For breaches at federal sites or facilities, the primary organization responsible is CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), they operate under the Department of Homeland Security. CISA is the federal government's main cybersecurity coordinator and incident response organization.

Yeah... incredible how now it is Meta/Facebook stating they will not deploy 'harmful' AI. Pick your foe.
