Hang Sơn Đoòng, Vietnam. "Discovered" in 2009, it's the world's largest cave. Large enough to fly a Boeing 747 through, with underground weather and its very own rainforest. And now the epicentre of a World Heritage Site, anchored by sustainable tourism, that spreads into Laos.

I am so, so tired. And I know you are, too.
Here's “Death blowing bubbles,” 18th century. The bubbles symbolize life's fragility. This plaster work appears on the ceiling of Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. After the monastery’s dissolution, it became a hospital.

Good morning!
If you follow me here you'll know I did a talk called "How to make the Tarot work 100% of the time".
You might wonder how I could make such an outlandish claim.

Refuge. Safety. Protection. Corals and kelp, seagrass and salmon, herring and harbour seals are amongst the species granted such respite off the coast of British Colombia through recent joint agreements between the federal government and the Haida and Gitxaała Nations.

New from me for @science.org: A major planetary science conference will require submitted abstracts to comply with Trump's anti-DEI executive orders.
This conference, LPSC, is a big deal. It's been running since 1970 and is one of the biggest planetary science conferences out there. 🧪🔭

Who invented "simmer". When I check my pot on the oven it's either not cooking at all or else a rolling boil. Simmering is some kind of hoax.

I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

i've tried talking to chatgpt a few times (because people are always like "how do you know it sucks if you haven't tried it) and the thought I can never get over is "damn this thing does not know shit"

It seems this can't be emphasized enough. Chatbots and LLMs do not make mistakes (excepting any bugs in the code). They do not lie. They do not blackmail or cheat. They follow statistics. When the people who build these systems don't tell you this, they are either deluded or trying to mislead.
When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.
