“In Germany in the 1930s, scientific institutions and societies failed at every level to offer any significant resistance to Nazism. …The scientific community needs to speak up – not just for the sake of science, but of human decency, dignity and morality.” www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/scie...

I missed #SnakeSunday, so I'm going to declare today #WigglyWednesday. It's super cold here in Ohio, so here's a picture of a cute little scarlet snake trying to snuggle with me on a chilly 65 degree evening in south Florida. #herps #snakes #herpetology #herping #Everglades

We need a federal data privacy law now. Or we’ll continue down the road of a piecemeal strategy of banning popular foreign apps, while the US data broker industry continues to monetize the data of all Americans, mostly without our consent or notice. #AIBillofRights

NEW: I've obtained internal Meta docs revealing an array of sample posts that are now allowed under new hate speech rules. Examples include calling children "trannies," “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians," and “immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit” theintercept.com/2025/01/09/f...

People don't talk about bats enough. There are over 1,400 species and they are the second numerous order of mammals. They are seed dispersers, pollinators, and pest controllers. Their age to size ratio is well off the charts living on average three times longer than expected. Talk more about bats. 🦇

I really do believe AI is inherently fascist. Both the resources it takes to generate and the soullessness of its output render it entirely irredeemable, but it also hollows out any meaning we can get from communication and art and reduces human life to an aesthetic it wears like a skinsuit.

Something about this has really got to me. It is just such a slap in the face - this is what we're worth, is it? Arguably the largest connector of human beings in the world, flooded with literal friction between each and every one by a billionaire addicted to growth. Death cult shit. Disgraceful.
