This was a good one, guys. Go back and like it if you didn’t back in the day

You wasted your time horse playing when you could’ve been monkey business

When the Trump administration gets overthrown they should take Elon Musk and pull an Emperor Puyi reeducation on him, make him the biggest socialist believer of all time. That would be the funniest outcome

Yup. This was literally me. Funded by Nautilus Minerals to do baseline environmental impact assessment for a hydrothermal vent mine. Went in cautiously optimistic. Came out concluding there's no feasible path forward for mining a hydrothermal vent at any scale.

It's wild that all my colleagues who are funded by a deep sea mining company to research the topic ultimately conclude that we shouldn't mine the deep sea. We should stop seeing the ocean as a place to exploit instead of a place of wonder and beauty and an essential part of our life support system.

Unbelievably grim sign to see NOAA posting this promotion of manganese nodule mining. WE KNOW what the harvesting of the nodules does to the sea floor and its surrounding sea life, and this conversation should’ve been dead on arrival. This is going to be a rough four years.

NOAA@noaa.gov

These minerals are currently sitting atop the sea floor, waiting to be scooped up and processed. Through #NOAA’s mapping tech and licensing abilities, we are helping industry leaders find, collect and bring back these minerals to benefit the #USA & domestic manufacturing.

Yoo bro, sick ‘Chef’ shirt! From one ‘Chef’ superfan to another, my chef hat goes off to you, lol. Have you joined the Jon Favreau Facebook group? Yeah I’m a member lol. It’s a good time, just shootin’ the shit and discussing some good Fav-Flicks. Anyways I gotta go. See you in the group dude!

An idea I had- Alvin and the Chipmunks are running away from a dog and just barely make it into a tree to escape. Panting, Alvin says “wow, I can’t believe we…squeaked that one out!” And then winks at the camera. Has anyone thought of this yet? Could be something

Going into the discover section on Bluesky is like walking into an entirely different app. Almost exclusively older millennials and gen x just spamming the absolute lights outta gifs

While driving today I saw someone not use their blinker when in a lane with multiple turning options, and then use their blinker in a lane that can only turn one way. Nothing means anything anymore

I hate Elon but he won, completely. No point in my trying to post clever sly dunks on him, witty little quips. He is so dumb yet so victorious, that I can't see how to be fresh and entertaining. Too on the nose. I can't crack it. What's to say? He won, I lost. Nothing I say matters. That is reality.

From fishermen, to the dive tours, boat tours and other small coastal businesses depend on this information! 😢🇺🇸

i hope it’s clear that big tech is not an ally. it only was as much as it was profitable. textboon rainbow capitalism, and now when they saw the writing on the wall, they flopped back into fascisms arms

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

Dave Levitan@davelevitan.bsky.social

I have covered NOAA and it’s work for like 15 years and this is brutal. If you’re there and want to chat or share anything, signal is davelevitan.26

Seeing the joyful reactions of right wingers on a post of a Mexican woman crying after the Trump administration canceled her LEGAL immigration appointments says everything. It was never once about illegal immigration, ever

The only valuable “theory” to come out of TikTok was that bean soup theory, because holy shit if that isn’t the most accurate portrayal of the modern internet

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide

extremes of drought and fire and heavy rain in California contribute to each other. Fires weaken banks, make mudslides more likely; droughts harden soil and exacerbate flooding. Heavy rains in turn and the resulting growth of brush build ladder fuel for fire

My favorite part of Storage Wars is watching them pull prices for things they found out of absolutely no where. They pull out a random lamp or something and immediately go “yup. That’s $30 right there.”

Ever since I picked up bass, one of my big dreams was to officially record and then release an album with a band. In just a week now, I will be recording for that very purpose. So exciting

jimmy fallon joining bluesky after the news dropped that his show was stopping his workers pay during the writers strike in 2023 and immediately getting bullied off of here forever is easily one of my favorite early bluesky moments

Day one. Jumping in.

I have spent Christmas morning up since 4 AM sneezing and dealing with the worst allergies ever. I can feel every ounce of Christmas spirit leaving my body with each achoo

Ok that actually went so much better than I thought it would. The probability of keeping my A feels very realistic

Oliver@fishglub.bsky.social

Praying on anything that’s out there that I get above an 87% on this oceanography final WE ARE KEEPING THIS A
