Chevron's CEO made $104 million while America bombed Iran America's oil executives have pocketed $1.4 billion selling stock during the Iran war, a new investigation shows.

Because there is a large swath of people who don't consider these things to be serious. They could easily see themselves doing these things "harmlessly". We need more adults in charge.

Debate by the perpetrators of the misconduct? Holding people accountable for their actions? No fair!

I'm deep down the rabbit hole on FROGFISH, 60 species of anglerfish in family Antennariidae.

They are deeply, utterly WEIRD & MARVELOUS.

Most walk on modified fins.
Others use jet propulsion.
Some are capable of air-breathing.

Required reading for any student of genetics. A lucid and thoughtful piece on term that is far from unambiguous. I encourage sharing widely.

Ah, March and April (and sometimes May) in Southern Ontario...... Mother Nature is drunk, and it's a roulette wheel of weather. Shorts and Parka weather.

Response from ChatGPT "If you're evaluating this (e.g. grading) Instead of asking "is this AI?", a better lens is: Is it specific enough to the scenario? Does it show original thinking or just best practices? Are there errors, assumptions, or missing elements?
