I'm rather taken with this elegant visualization of @ClimateChange from the BBC. Particularly as it clearly shows how anomalous 2023 was.

It's a Ridgeline plot (also sometimes called a joyplot, after the iconic album cover from the band #JoyDivision).

I just wish they'd used a pre-industrial average as the baseline. 2023 was 1.48°C warmer than pre-industrial times according to the Copernicus data.

Today's Judiciary subcommittee hearing where I'm testifying is supposed to be about AI and journalism. Public Knowledge fears it'll be about JCPA and they're ready with receipts: https://publicknowledge.org/the-top-reasons-the-jcpa-wont-save-local-news-including-from-ai/

Born in 1794, pioneering marine biologist Jeannette Villepreux-Power collected specimens from local fisherman in Sicily for study. She built a natural history collection & was especially interested in cephalopods like octopus & squid 🐙.

Villepreux-Power invented the modern aquarium was one of the first people to observe living cephalopods & their behaviors.

Unfortunately, much of her work & collections were lost in a shipwreck in 1843. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Villepreux-Power #HistoryRemix #science #history

"Unsurprisingly, the British nationalists are not at all happy about First Minister Humza Yousaf's speech [on Monday], which highlighted the economic advantages of Scottish independence.

"The speech signalled the SNP's intention to put independence at the forefront of the party's campaign in the Westminster general election...".

Onsdag!

I hate how much I get nagged to review shit and "snap a picture"

Like no, bitch, I ordered food through your app because I'm busy. I'm not going to do free labor creating content for your corporation.

Etsy is the worst offender on this, because it permanently nags you until you comply, even for sex toys.

Sehr treffend:

What a clever way to show the surface of a sphere in two dimensions.

This photo is such a slay. 1976, Supreme Court's building staff sat for a portrait while the photographer prepped for the official shot of the justices.
