Thoughtfulness & compassion.

I run the Scenoptica project, where we share footage, tell stories, make documentaries, and share knowledge on ecology, science, and academia (in English and Bahasa Indonesia).

Whenever I see "[x] is targeting net-zero emissions by [n]" I think of the "Man Announces He Will Quit Drinking by 2050" article.

Issue 140 of @thecontinent features some great photos.

As I say in biogeography, a snapshot of today is not the same is one of yesterday or tomorrow. Time changes things.

Despite Mandela and Pienaar, where I grew up, it wasn't a mystery which sports were for whom. Politics invaded the lives of innocent kids, and rugby wasn't "for me." I found no unity in it.

Now, I find myself watching it and happy(!) to see the Bokke win. I still struggle to believe it. Today is not yesterday.

Screenshot of a page in The Continent , showing Springbok captain Siya Kolisi holding up and looking at the Rugby World Cup trophy. His expression is one of joy.

It's a seminal article, but yes, I will complain about having to pay 50 smackaroos for a paper published 54 years ago.

@SeaMonster @academicchatter I actually love that idea! They should absolutely be doing that.

A friendly neighbour started chatting with me about the cats today. When I said two were shot in the eye, she nonchalantly implicated a neighbour who likes to shoot chickens for target practice. I suspected them already but didn't know about the chickens. I don't know if they'd poison a cat, but regardless it's clear that our friendliest ones were targeted, which honestly makes the act worse.

Still, I appreciate the chat and could have learned more if my Bahasa Indonesia was not so rudimentary.

I'm continuing my slow first watch of TNG, and it looks like the casting director of the first X-Men movie was a fan of the show. 😉

Also, knowing nothing more about this episode, it seems to me that season 5 is full of horny Riker moments.

The took away so much from people and broke so many lives. But this is one such life that, in a surprising twist, is well remembered.

@Norobiik Heartbreaking as it is that he died that way, it's heartening to learn that he was in reality a boisterous and beloved person.

My new favorite thing I've encountered on Wikipedia- the notice to discourage everyone from adding their cat pictures to the cat article, at risk of being immediately reverted

jaybaeta,
@jaybaeta@mastodon.social avatar

@Oozenet @argentcorvid @muchlibrary What I've found is that it can start a revert war between each cat owner, where they will keep reverting each other's changes so only their cat is shown, until one of them concedes or departs this mortal coil.

@Oozenet @argentcorvid @muchlibrary After all, why shouldn't little Fluffy be Wikipedia's main representative of catdom? 😂

migrating little project sites to my own, as the university keeps nothing for more than three years.

thinking about the shocked face of a historian colleague the other day, when they realized the university had already begun to delete posts from the beginning of a research initiative that hadn't even finished yet.

@hugo I'm thankful everyday for the existence of the Internet Archive and other archivists across the web, but I feel like everything we make is on a clock, one way or another.

I've collected the bloopers and outtakes for "The Lab of Ecology and Conservation is Stuck in the Middle of Nowhere," the video we made for UGM's lab. It mostly features me barking instructions at the lecturers and lab members who graciously agreed to masquerade as musicians. 😆

@jaybaeta@mastodon.social avatar

If you haven't seen the original video, you can do so here: https://youtu.be/k5ShtZWY8G4.

And if you're interested in learning more about how we made it, I highly recommend this accompanying post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/laboratory-of-is-89375773.

Although I'm happy with it generally, I'm most proud that many people's response to it has been, "I didn't know lecturers could have this much personality." Among my goals was getting the academics to let their hair down and let students see them having fun for a change. 😊

    Top 3 things that enable the MAGA movement:

    1. Hatred and fear of minorities.
    2. Trump's thinly veiled authoritarianism.
    3. Low Quality Facts saying that samurai used to kiss.
