Someone ask for a snowball? ❄️🥶
These little floofs (𝘔𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴) hibernate in the snow!
Snow provides good insulation and protection from predators -- which is important when you weigh just 4-8 grams. 😮

I’m really concerned about early career scientists using generative AI in writing, because writing is how we think and reflect. There’s almost nothing *more* human than that, and to give that gift away to a machine is almost unconscionable to me

I thought the purpose of college was for the student to demonstrate competency in their own intellect. 🤨

It’s been fun while it lasted: “Purdue University will begin requiring that all of its undergraduate students demonstrate basic competency in artificial intelligence starting with freshmen who enter the university in 2026.”

Nick Lowe was the lead-in band, making for quite a new wave night of music. Petty played all the big hits, plus surprised us all with a rendition of Hang on Sloopy! This FM broadcast recording captures Tom Petty in London on December 12, 1982, 43 years ago today, and just a few months before I saw him. Petty had released his his 5th album, Long After Dark, in November 1982. The disc was the first to feature Howie Epstein on bass and backing vocals. Long After Dark climbed to #9 on the US Billboard charts, and spawned the MTV hit single, You Got Lucky.

Randy Newman - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: Sight and Sound, Planet Theatre, Slough, Britain, 2-26-1983
Here's another BBC concert album by Randy Newman. It's from the BBC TV show "Sight and Sound." This will probably be the last BBC album from him, unless something else emerges. Actually, there is one more BBC concert he did, but I don't plan on posting it, because it's been officially released as the album "Live in London" in 2011. In early 1983, Newman released the album "Trouble in Paradise." It was one of his best sellers, helped along by the popular song "I Love L.A." Many of the songs here come from that album, although he avoided that song (either that or the BBC edited it from a longer concert). The music is unreleased, and the sound quality is excellent. This album is 41 minutes long. 01 talk (Randy Newman) 02 Simon Smith and His Amazing Dancing Bear (Randy Newman) 03 Birmingham (Randy Newman) 04 talk (Randy Newman) 05 A Real Emotional Girl (Randy Newman) 06 talk (Randy Newman) 07 Christmas in Cape Town (Randy Newman) 08 Short People (Randy Newman) 09 talk (Randy Newman) 10 God's Song [That's Why I Love Mankind] (Randy Newman) 11 talk (Randy Newman) 12 The Blues (Randy Newman) 13 talk (Randy Newman) 14 The Girls in My Life [Part One] (Randy Newman) 15 Rednecks (Randy Newman) 16 talk (Randy Newman) 17 Jolly Coppers on Parade (Randy Newman) 18 Baltimore (Randy Newman) 19 talk (Randy Newman) 20 My Life Is Good (Randy Newman) 21 talk (Randy Newman) 22 Political Science (Randy Newman) https://pixeldrain.com/u/NzVhj4Vp alternate: https://bestfile.io/en/T4YkMgVViA5nvlf/file The cover photo is from an appearance on the "Saturday Night Live" TV show, on February 26, 1983.

KT Tunstall - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 5-6-2006
Here's another episode of the excellent "PBS Soundstage" TV show. This one stars singer-songwriter KT Tunstall. Tunstall had a massive debut album in 2004. "Eye to the Telescope" sold nearly five million copies worldwide. So her popularity was still soaring at the time of this concert in 2006. Her next album wouldn't be released until 2007, so this mostly consists of songs from that debut album. Unfortunately, the popularity of her debut wasn't sustained. But I think she's put out quality music all along. The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. This album is 54 minutes long. 01 talk (KT Tunstall) 02 Other Side of the World (KT Tunstall) 03 talk (KT Tunstall) 04 Miniature Disasters (KT Tunstall) 05 Under the Weather (KT Tunstall) 06 Another Place to Fall (KT Tunstall) 07 Universe and U (KT Tunstall) 08 talk (KT Tunstall) 09 Black Horse and the Cherry Tree (KT Tunstall) 10 talk (KT Tunstall) 11 Hollywood Hills (KT Tunstall) 12 Heal Over (KT Tunstall) 13 talk (KT Tunstall) 14 Suddenly I See (KT Tunstall) https://pixeldrain.com/u/eV9ZqTNt alternate: https://bestfile.io/en/JeBGNkeZ9qqw5ST/file The cover photo is from this exact concert.

Neil Young - 1989-12-13 - Rotterdam, Netherlands (Ex Aud)
**Neil Young** 1989-12-13 Sportpaleis Ahoy Rotterdam, NL Excellent Audience Recording 320 kbps Artwork Included CD 1: 01. My My, Hey Hey 02. Cocaine Eyes 03. Razor Love 04. Comes A Time 05. Don't Let It Bring You Down 06. Someday (piano) 07. Crime In The City 08. Eldorado (with Frank Sampedro) 09. Roll Another Number (with Frank Sampedro & Ben Keith) CD 2: 01. Too Far Gone 02. This Note´s For You 03. The Needle And The Damage Done 04. No More 05. Dreamin' Man 06. F***in' Up 07. Winterlong (piano) 08. Heart Of Gold (with Ben Keith) 09. Rockin' In The Free World 10. Powderfinger **Neil Young - 1989-12-13 - Rotterdam, Netherlands (Ex Aud)** Over the years I've seen Neil 6 times - 3 acoustic shows, 2 electric shows and once with CSNY. I've seen him play quiet, heartfelt,, spare renditions of his tunes, and I've seen him stomp around, backed by Crazy Horse, like a man possessed, living up to his nickname as the Godfather of Grunge. I've seen him perform the rock opera Greendale and I've seen him help turbo charge his on again, off again band mates Crosby, Stills and Nash. No matter what, one thing remained constant in all these performances - Neil stays true to himself and plays what moves him at the moment. This excellent audience recording captures Neil just a few months after I saw him live for the first time, doing an acoustic show in the Netherlands on December 13, 1989, 3 dozen years ago today.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?
It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

BREAKING: ‘This hurts’: UNL eliminates 4 programs despite faculty, student pleas
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln eliminates the Earth and atmospheric sciences 8-0, educational administration 7-1, statistics 7-1, textiles, merchandising and fashion design 7-1 programs.
