A beautiful and large (3” length) specimen of a Brachioteuthis glass squid, shot right here in Bali. 2 individuals over my last 2 nights out is pretty special for such a rare species! Shot using scuba, far offshore from NE Bali, out over the deep abyss, while drifting with the plankton, at night.

So a few folks are seeing this as a character weakness specific to Americans, but what the Brazilians are also saying is how much collective effort went into unlearning this behaviour! It's all of us, heck, I should not have mentioned the name in my post! But we can fix this impulse whenever

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

May got home from work and we hit the pose. Life is bittersweet

lrt: there really is plenty of opposition to AI on jp social media. Tons of artists hate it for stealing their work on top of everything else; the artists you *do* see flocking to it are the major ones with established careers they can coast on. In other words, the same dynamic you see in English.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.
