This is a deep-sea isopod. Dr. Johanna Weston, a deep-ocean biologist and guest investigator at @whoi.edu, is confident this is Bathyopsurus nybelini, one of her favorite animals. Learn why via the YouTube caption: youtube.com/shorts/DenUj...

A cat wanders through work-in-progress illustrations. Nice concept in this indie Chinese animated short by Master Wang. Full film >> www.catsuka.com/news/2026-02...
My #secretsamol piece that I did for @tapetraveler.bsky.social, in which I faced my greatest artistic challenge; drawing two people interacting. In the end i was pretty happy with how it turned out. #friendsatthetable

ah yeah the familiar whiplash of seeing a legacy media org cover something you're an actual expert in and realizing "oh if this is how badly they're fucking up this, how badly are they fucking up every other topic?"

i really want us, collectively, to understand that chat format LLMs cannot assess their own behavior. if you ask it what it did, it will construct a likely response to your query and that is all. "why did you do this" is projection. even accusing them of "lying" is projection.
AI-assistant caused DATA LOSS, destroyed projects, user files and a production database: issued faulty commands, overwriting data; another ignored freeze directives, fabricated test data, and dropped a live database. anuraag2601.github.io/gemini_cli_d... www.theregister.com/2025/07/21/r...

Human rights include the rights of the occasional jerk, lazy person, & "normally law-abiding person who ran a red light this morning b/c their alarm didn't go off." One can make correct arguments about the aggregate contributions of immigrants w/o suggesting there's a virtue test for "good ones."
There’s an important distinction between “undocumented immigrants contribute so much to this country” and “undocumented immigrants are normal folks trying to live their little lives and be happy just like you and me.” The latter doesn’t advocate for them through the lens of model minority tropes.
