"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?"

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
A pika sits on a mossy rock. Tighter crop of the same pika, focusing on its head. An even tighter crop, focusing more on the pika's eye. An extremely tight crop of the pika's eye, emphasizing their reflection of an early morning mountain scene.

Over coffee and bagels, @catehall.bsky.social asked me: where’s the fundraising handbook that guides scientists through how the game actually works? Not the sanitized Twitter version.

For the past few weeks a few friends have hopped on a zoom to share demos of stuff they've built with AI.

Ranges from poetry, to YA novels, and Will Patrick's made a slew of amazing demos from a financial model for his board mtg to a cartoon book for his son. willpatrick.xyz/technology/2...

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.
