One of my favorite things to see come across my screens each year: the US Fish and Wildlife Service has announced that Wisdom has returned to her mating grounds on Midway Atoll.

Wisdom is at least 71 years old, the oldest verified wild bird of any species. She has raised more than 30 chicks. She has flown the circumference of the Earth over 120 times. She is the closest the seabird world gets to a celebrity, and the only royalty I recognize. Long live the Queen.

Cowardly For-Profit #Journalism Is Bringing #Trump’s #Fascism Back to Our Door

For voters to make intelligent decisions about candidates, they must be well-informed. Sadly, that is very much not what is happening today in America. If we don't confront this crisis, democracy itself will pay the price.

Robert Reich asks the question that’s probably on the minds of many: “Why are so many people prepared to vote for Trump?”

@noondlyt He’s still holding up four star general nominations, so there are still ~17 unfilled.
A bit of these are nominations that go with a particular high-level post. It jams the military for years, it hurts the officers pending nomination and people waiting for their jobs and the families of everyone affected. Tuberville, Mike Lee & almost every R senator are to blame, as 9 R senators are needed to override Tuberville & change the rules. (Ernst, Graham & Sullivan spoke out publicly)

The sun sets around 4pm now on the Kenai Peninsula and today, it was just glorious. I went for a walk in Centennial Park along the Kenai River. I'm never disappointed with the views. #Alaska #AlaskaInWinter #KenaiRiverAlaska

I encountered a fellow American online who was insisting, in apparent good faith, that there is no such thing as a person anywhere in the world who doesn’t recognize the names of all 50 US states as easily as they recognize France or China, and so there’s never any need to clarify that you mean in the US.

My fellow Americans, that is not true. When people here in Europe ask where I’m from, and I say Massachusetts rather than Boston, 80% of the time I can visibly see the gears turning as they try to decide whether I just made up that word to mess with them. Nobody is talking about Massachusetts on the Estonian or the Nepalese news. Nobody outside of the US has ever massed a chusetts and they never will.

If you can't handle me at my worst (loudly ranting about groundhogs) then you don't deserve me at my best (ranting about groundhogs at a slightly more manageable volume).

I'm so sorry.

(no I'm not. Not really.)

not often does somebody drop the mic in the 3rd paragraph of a 7-page talk, but Schneier did:

“In this talk, I am going to make several arguments. One, that there are two different kinds of trust—interpersonal trust and social trust—and that we regularly confuse them. Two, that the confusion will increase with artificial intelligence. We will make a fundamental category error. We will think of AIs as friends when they’re really just services. Three, that the corporations controlling AI systems will take advantage of our confusion to take advantage of us. They will not be trustworthy. And four, that it is the role of government to create trust in society. And therefore, it is their role to create an environment for trustworthy AI. And that means regulation. Not regulating AI, but regulating the organizations that control and use AI.”
