Two rare striped rabbit species — Sumatran and Annamite — face habitat loss, snares and now a new threat: trafficking.

At least 10 were seized on flights from Thailand to India. Experts urge CITES Appendix III listing and a conservation breeding program.
Already disappearing, Southeast Asia’s striped rabbits now caught in global pet trade
In the remote rainforest of Sumatra, Indonesia, and the Annamite Mountains straddling Vietnam and Laos, two species of nocturnal rabbits live elusive lives. These species, both of which have…

A lovely butterfly that I found up above the Bribri community of Salitre in #CostaRica

I believe this is a Tracta Sister (Adelpha tracta)

Who knew about this? The areas marked "Kahore I Hokona" (=never sold) are land for which there are no purchase agreements by colonial companies. The land was simply taken from Kai Tahu. You'll notice it includes all the Otago Lakes with their pricey real estate. Totally stolen land. #kikorangi

Bar-tailed godwits at Bald Hill Beach.
These are my favourite shorebirds - with their ridiculous beaks 😆
They hold the world record for non-stop long-distance flight
with one recorded taking 11 days to fly 13,500km from Alaska to Tasmania. And they do that trip twice each year!

took this stance real early on, have been paying close attention, and i have yet to see a single thing that manages to challenge that opinion even a little bit, rather than solidifying it into diamond-hard conviction
I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.

Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.

But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?

No.

Today on Volts: I've had more requests to cover this than almost any other topic in the pod's history, so now, at long last, balcony solar! We dig into how "plug-in solar" took off in Europe & how it's making its way to the US, starting in Utah. Backyard DIY types rejoice!
What's the deal with balcony solar?
