An orange white and black calico cat named Rainbow greeting CC, who is in that late kitten stage, and is a tabby calico, no orange. They sit on a conference table, and Rainbow looks like she's about to either groom or bite CC.

The first cat to be cloned was a calico female named Rainbow (left).

The clone, produced at Texas A&M University in 2001 was named "CC" for Carbon Copy or CopyCat (right).

Notice something odd about the "identical copy"?
Not very identical is she?
But they *are confirmed* genetically identical.

AI footage in the quote post. However it's a real fact, with real footage available (See my link below). Now people who believed it have a false image of how octopus act, and people who recognise it as AI question a real observed scientific fact. Utter bullshit.

The Magnuson Stevens Act has been a critical tool that has helped build sustainable marine fisheries that underpin healthy ocean environments and vibrant coastal communities. Continued use of sound science and full funding for NOAA are key to maintaining this success.. #MSA50 #FisheriesForward

AI learns language from skewed sources. That could change how we humans speak – and think | Bruce Schneier Large language models aren’t trained on real-life conversations. As we encounter their language, it could affect our own

Oh:

A 2022 study found that children in households that used voice commands with tools like Siri and Alexa became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting obedience, especially from anyone whose voice resembled the default-female electronic voices.

I taught about the Gaulldet 11 alongside this article for the future of human evolution. Disability in space is a good way to think about what traits that are considered “dis” -ability in one context maybe a “super”-ability in another context.

This year's #kakapo breeding season has been the biggest on record:
- 256 eggs (252 in 2019)
- 148 fertile eggs (116 in 2019)
- 105 eggs hatched (86 in 2019).
It'll be 2+ months until we know how many chicks will fledge (73 in 2019). There are currently 95 alive. #conservation #kakapo2026 #birds

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

Holy cow this looks like a great opportunity - there are other non fisheries opps listed as well.

I wonder if she can just get the vaccine? I'm also curious about the shingles vaccine for people who never had c pox.

If you’ve been moved & inspired by Artemis, NASA needs your help. Literally during A2, the president proposed cutting NASA science 47%, canceling 54 missions, including many already in-flight. To help stop these cuts, check out @planetarysociety.bsky.social www.planetary.org/save-nasa-sc...

I saw this headline earlier but didn't read through to the second line because nobody cares. But then I accidentally saw the rest and...

We need to what now? With what kind of fucking jobs?

There are also us weird olds who somehow missed the pox as kids in the 80s, and also missed the vaccine in the 90s, and now are at high risk for major complications when exposed as adults.

The Deal: Trump, Bukele & the Gangs of El Salvador (full documentary) | FRONTLINE (PBS) + El Faro What was behind Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s deal with President Donald Trump to imprison deportees from the U.S. at CECOT? FRONTLINE and El Faro investigate. This journalism is made…

The Trump administration deported more than 200 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison, even though most had no gang ties.

What did both governments gain from this? @frontlinepbs.bsky.social and El Faro teamed up to find out.

Watch “The Deal” now on @PBS.

Yes that's exactly how I try to explain it to people, but much less eloquently. When the people who have the knowledge to validate these models move out of the workforce, expertise and critical thinking are going to fall off a cliff. Hopefully we can course correct in time.
