Here's a little natural #b&w for #birdoftheday

The Torrent Tyrannulet is one of the best birds in Costa Rica. They're tiny little flycatchers that hunt for insects right next to the river rapids. To find them, you look for little white puffballs flitting along the rocks.

For the first day of 2026, I present to you a brain-vaporizing shot of the gigantic expanding debris from an ancient supernova, an allegory for endings and new beginnings.

Hooooo my do you want to see the full-scale version of it.

DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

Every week, Nature publishes yet another breathless puff piece about some AI startup, based only unpublished claims from the company and interviewing only those who work there.

How can the leading scientific journal publish piece after piece that would make Kevin Roose blush?

I think it's that...

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Large law firms are siding with Trump over their clients and employees. Let me give you one statistic to exemplify this:

DOJ is suing 22 states for access to sensitive voter data.

My firm of 60 lawyers is fighting in all 22.

Not a single big law firm is fighting along side us in any case.

If you think of "hiring in entry level positions" as "procuring labor to do the tasks entry level people do" then you probably do think AI is a magical headcount reduction machine.

But the point of hiring in entry level positions is to produce mid-career employees.

Zuckerburg is paying only $190M to settle an $8B lawsuit by FB shareholders for the Cambridge Analytica crime.

$8B would’ve been 3% of his net worth, and $190M is .08%. ~$75 for ordinary working people.
