The double-brood emergence of cicadas are here and they’re so loud some people are calling the authorities. Their sound is sort of surreal, kinda like something out of a sci-fi movie. Alien invaders just over the horizon. Spooky.
This one I would rate as medium. This small Thyreophora is known from China.

Hey y'all, it's been a while since I was paying for Adobe and I'm looking for best deals or options when signing up for Premiere Pro and Photoshop. I wouldn't mind paying for a year long subscription if that's the best deal. I'm not a student.
Also, I can't figure out what the difference is between PS Elements and PS Pro. The pricing is listed as "$69" but it doesn't say if that's a one time price or yearly or what. That seems way too cheap for a one time purchase. Any tips?
I think my older AirPods v2 are dying. I can barely get any volume out of them any more. When I use my AirPod pros I can hear them loud and clear but I don’t like them as much, they never stay in my ears.
Hate to spend rhe money on a new fresh set of AirPods (non Pros) but i can barely hear what I’m listening to anymore. Boo! 🫠
@gedeonm if you’re still covered by AppleCare+ it’s worth calling to see if you can get them fixed or a replacement. Worked for me when I had an issue with my AirPod pro v1…
#BruceHallman is a #SanFrancisco street artist and sculptor most known for making these iconic clay faces. His work can often be found glued under bike racks in the Mission. See much more of his work (not just bike racks and faces) here instagram.com/brucehallman #SFGraffiti#graffiti#sculpture
This one I would rate as hard. This small theropod is known for some impressive fossils, but this one doesn't look like it.

I'm sick of justifying ethical behavior in terms of profit. We use phrases like "adding alt-text brings more customers to your site" or "protected bike lanes increase revenue for local businesses."
You should add alt-text descriptions to images because it helps people.
We need to build bike lanes because it makes cities safer and more accessible.
Reduce carbon emissions because it's the right thing to do! Discussing these things in purely economic terms misses the point.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to get texts like these from friends. I’m so optimistic about the future of the #fediverse and always excited to talk about it.
The fediverse is still a tricky concept to explain though. I’d love to hear how you like to describe this gestures wildly at ActivityPub/Federation/Mastodon/Threads/AT Protocol/PeerTube to a friend.
@docpop I try not to use words like fediverse or activity pub at first—you can see people’s eyes quickly gloss over as those terms are used.
Instead I try to start broadly “a new protocol that lets people communicate with each other independent of application or service… similar to how email works: such that you can have Gmail and still communicate with someone using Outlook.”
Often this brings up loads more questions… because many people haven’t even thought about this as a concept. LOL
Whatever goober at Adobe decided to make this annoying AI spam popup in Photoshop every 5 minutes should be fired. Sure you can close it, but it comes right back 5 minutes later. 🤬
A friend of mine used his Icarus #yoyo as a pinhole projector during today’s #eclipse. Folks always ask me why I put so many holes in this yo-yo. Now I finally have a good answer.
