This picture has been making the rounds again, and is being misidentified again.
This is a GOOSEFISH.
This is NOT a tasselled wobbegong shark.
It’s a great pic. I get why people are very excited about it. But it’s as easy to give it the right name as the wrong one.

also always deeply funny that every sci-fi video game from 1999-2014 was trying to be Aliens, and copied everything except the...working class woman protagonist
Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

I have an autistic friend over helping me pack & did something stupid in front of him (whilst telling him to never do it): I used raw bleach & hot water to clean a sink.
When I told him I stung myself, he laughed & said "you got bleached!". I told him that wasn't a term to use loosely.

Why I use Bandcamp. I buy what I can afford and help support artists rather than see them ripped off by a company who started as a pirate website looking to profit rather than share.

PSA: The Muppet Christmas Carol may be locked inside Disney+ and the Bluray is being scalped at $180... but there is a Laserdisc rip from 1992 with the cut song included on Internet Archive that is primo.

After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X.
Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse.

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.
