One more pelican before I put my phone down down for the night.

Taken this morning. 🪶
A pelican at point blank range starting to dive, looking like it's jumping from a top rope or maybe a steel cage.

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

Short Shadow - From NASA Marshall Space Flight Center - https://flic.kr/p/UVpzN7
The projection of Saturn's shadow on the rings grows shorter as Saturn’s season advances toward northern summer, thanks to the planet's permanent tilt as it orbits the sun. This will continue until Saturn's solstice in May 2017. At that point in time, the shadow will extend only as far as the innermost A ring, leaving the middle and outer A ring completely free of the planet's shadow. Over the course of the Cassini mission, the shadow of Saturn first lengthened steadily until equinox in August 2009. Since then, the shadow has been shrinking. These changes can be seen by comparing the shadow in the above view to its appearance as Cassini approached Saturn in 2004 (PIA06077), equinox in 2009 (PIA11667), and two years ago, in 2015 (PIA20498). This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 10 degrees above the ring plane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Feb. 3, 2017.

Pretty disappointed in both @humblebundle.com and especially in @girlswhocode.bsky.social. Please teach girls how to code, don't push them into generative AI. That won't build their skills. Prioritize foundational programming skills and awaken their interest. "Tired of long days writing code"???

he also kind of gets everyone's asses again in this follow up with the washington post
I mean, we don't know if Karoline Leavitt still has that groomer today now that the photos are published. Well, what can I say? That's the makeup that she puts on, those are the injections she gave herself. If they show up in a photo, what do you want me to say? I don't know if it says something about the world we live in, the age of Photoshop, the age of AI filters on your Instagram, but the fact that the internet is freaking out because they're seeing real photos and not retouched ones says something to me. Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that's on the cutting room floor? I don't think there's anything I missed that I wish I'd gotten. I'll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, "Should I smile or not smile?" and I said, "How would you want to be portrayed?" We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, "You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people." And I looked at him and I said, "You know, you do, too."

Oh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal.

Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.
Full-body portrait photograph of Susie Wiles, a middle aged woman in an olive pantsuit with a white shirt underneath. The room around her looks unstaged - in the foreground is a sliver of a wing chair, on the other side a small portion of a desk with half of some papers and a post it showing. There is a light switch just over her right shouder and an open hallway behind that. Full body portrait photograph of JD Vance, a smarmy-looking thirtyish man in a dark suit with a red tie and white shirt. He is posed against a blank gray wall. To his right is a flag on a flagstand, only 2/3s of it in shot. Next to his left upper arm on the wall is a light switch and a thermostat. On the left side of the shot, we can see the very back of a blue chair in side profile, a bit of a lampshade and a tiny sliver of a side table.

This is actually the trippiest thing I've ever seen that was not deliberately created by M C Fucking Escher. It straight up took me over a minute to make sense of and now I can't go back.

Final Fantasy Legend III was first out 34 years ago (1991) for Gamy Boy (it took 2 years to reach overseas...I blame that dang Water Entity!).🌊 Only FF in name, it's actually a 'SaGa' game with surprisingly great depth from the little system.

Big Tech’s PR work around AI has been a masterclass in how not to communicate with the public about technology
Comedy raven meme. The raven says “AI is so powerful it might destroy humanity.” The audience says “sounds terrible! We don’t want it!” Sweating, the raven fumbles prompt cards saying “ai will take your job,” “ai will replace art,” and “ai reads your emails.”

Saturn April 3 2014 - From Val Klavans (valklavans.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/mK8bme
This is an approximate true color view of Saturn. Saturn's north polar hexagon stands out prominently while the planet casts a shadow upon its rings. This composite is made of images that were taken by Cassini's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on April 03, 2014 and received on Earth April 03, 2014. The camera was pointing toward SATURN at approximately 1,352,664 miles (2,176,902 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the CB2, GRN, MT2, CL1 and CL2 filters.
