At least seven female Mule deer have heads bent to the pond and water bowl, taking a drink. Lots of eye shine in this pic.

Hello, there, ladies! Mule #deer does caught on the pond #cameratrap.

An owl lands at the shallow pond, off balance, one foot up, long wings akimbo! A moth happens to be at the tip of one wing like a little starburst.

Love everything about this #cameratrap shot at our shallow pond, of a great-horned #owl: wingspan, off-balance stance, moth, eye glow.

There's a cycling festival on this weekend in Cambridge... Do I dare dust off the Tall bike and ride it the 20kms in?

All the Fish We Did Not See – The Discovery of the Ocean’s False Bottom off California The ocean's twilight zone is a profound mystery to scientists.

In 1942, off the coast of San Diego, sonar readings suggested the ocean floor was far shallower than it should be. The “bottom” wasn’t seafloor at all, but billions of animals. Today we know this as the largest migration on Earth, happening each day. californiacurated.substack.com/p/all-the-fi... 🌊

What the Ink Becomes Iron, Oak, and Fourteen Hundred Years

The Lindisfarne Gospels are mineralizing. So are Bach’s cantatas. Newton’s notebooks too.
The ink they were written in never stopped reacting. Still forming minerals. Same ones NASA looks for on Mars.
I make this ink. New post. ↓​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A photo of a juvenile great horned owl coughing up a large pellet. Ew!

A photo of a juvenile great horned owl holding a pellet in its talons and biting on it. Gross!

A photo of a juvenile great horned owl holding a small bone in its talons while staring at the camera, as if daring us to say anything. So rude!

THIS is why I don't invite #owls to my fancy dinner parties.

This juvenile great horned owl coughed up a pellet, rummaged through it, and started chewing on one of the bones inside.

Horrible table manners!

If cyclists were permitted to paint-ball cars that drove within 1.5m of them you’d see a far greater reduction in close passes than you do by saying, “Please don’t terrify us or kill us.”

It’s a shame that some people are more protective of their vehicles than lives of other humans.

punching cars is legal and encouraged if you're on a bike

Whoa! That's a fantastic story! Thanks for sharing!

My supervisor had famously made the most expensive insurance claim in university history when, unexpectedly and improbably some equipment became embedded in molten rock at the mid ocean ridge. The student newspaper proclaimed “Mad Professor Throws Equipment Down Volcano!”

It tastes like Monet's water lilies with notes of money and brand deals.

Don't shop Target. I work self checkout at a grocery store and let me tell you, those things miss stuff all the time, no fault of your own. You can do everything right and occasionally it will still mess up.

Any journalistic or critical address of LACMA's new building that fails to foreground that LACMA has contracted itself, that it now has less gallery space than it did before, is malpractice.

(Has any US art museum ever done this, or is this a Govan table-of-one? I can't think of another.)

As Artemis II made its reentry and splashdown last Friday, the Seismo Lab took a moment to watch. We may spend our days monitoring the Earth and how it moves, but we’re just as inspired by milestones beyond it, celebrating the science and accomplishments that connect and fascinate us all.
