Lovely Bird Songs 🎶

Librarians are amazing. You can ask them about a book you think might have been a dream, but you’re pretty sure you read when you were eleven and the cover was blue…and they’ll find it! 💙📚

like to add ® and ’ any time I submit online forms because I know that some developer is going to see it and wonder if they have a bug

Did I just argue with a joke? Part of a Bluesky educational series

This is wrong.

I work in IT, which is the reason our house has: - mechanical locks - mechanical windows - routers using OpenWRT - no smart home crap - no Alexa/Google Assistant/... - no internet connected thermostats Tech Enthusiasts: Everything in my house is wired to the Internet of Things! I control it all from my smartphone! My smart-house is bluetooth enabled and I can give it voice commands via alexa! ! love the future! Programmers/ Engineers: The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.

A slide with a 7 x 7 grid of fabricated eyes. Some are opened, others closed. During the presentation, it was a video where they were opening and closing.

dina looking at a slide with three iamges. One is an unrganized pile of lots of small objects, all piled together. A second image is a very neatly arranged set of lego pieces, and the third is what looks like a strange contraption that she has put together.

A behind-the-scenes look at Dina creating a stop motion, where she is looking over her shoulder, as she looks at a camera, which is looking at a figure she constructed out of a disassembled leather phone case.

A slide with some of dina's general takeaways: There is always an idea. Tools do not make you more creative. 30 small projects is better than one massive one. Building projects under a theme is more powerful. Limitations are essential.

First talk of day two of #smashingconf is the mystery speaker dina Amin with an inspirational talk of her journey into being a stop motion artist, with some really amazing work.

I went to the library to get a book on Pavlov's dog and Schrodinger's cat.

The librarian said that she thought it rang a bell but wasn't sure if it was there or not!

NASA’s Artemis II Reveals the Basin in Full
For the very first time, the mysterious Orientale Basin has been fully photographed. Thanks to Artemis II, humanity now sees the Moon in unprecedented detail, reminding us of the endless wonders beyond Earth. 🛰️

And I am waiting for season 2 of Scavengers Reign.

This made me laugh, therefore I’m smart and special.

I’m booing the satisfaction I got from this.

And the satisfaction I got from booing that.

Is there a name for this? Knowing it would make me smarter.

To make things a bit more complicated - … except when it serves another purpose.

For example ?t=120 at the end of a YouTube link would start the video 2 minutes in.

Jesse Case @jessecase The news is always like: "America has banned wheelchair ramps because they weren't in the Bible. Finland has made ice cream free."

Please. The man is already doing his best.

The oldest known living shark is the Greenland shark, which is considered the longest-lived vertebrate on Earth. Scientists estimate that some individuals are roughly 400 years old, with one studied female estimated to be up to 512 years old, born as early as the 1600s.

I have three degrees that address human-shark interactions, invented the field of human-shark studies, and run the largest social science lab on human-shark studies in the world.

This is animal harassment.
