Google search thinks you should use glue to stick together a pizza as its AI is trained on Reddit, where 11 years ago a user called “fucksmith” posted suggesting it was a good idea.

Incredible drone footage of the Greenfield, IA tornado courtesy of Reed Timmer.

The drone was able to orbit through the outer circulation of the tornado capturing some of the best views I've ever seen of a multi-vortex tornado.

There's a lot that can be learned from this type of close-range footage. Includes a brief clip around 2:15 of a wind turbine being taken down by the outer wind field.

I wrote an opinion piece about Vermont's Data Privacy Act which is sitting on the Governor's desk while the big tech lobby pressures him not to sign it. Threaded here so people can read it and I don't just give you an image with a huge alt text wall.

I support Vermont Data Privacy Act a bill which has passed the House and Senate and is on its way to the Governor's desk. Vermonters deserve to be able to understand and control how their personal information is collected and used online [1/7]

This is a great article, and I am 100% delighted by their description of me!! "Lawler has been an academic Chicken Little for years about the danger of freefalling space shit, especially in a time when space travel has been privatized and so many bored billionaires would rather spend their money playing Spaceman Spiff than, say, solving world hunger or the climate crisis"

Got my Saturday list done!

Bicycled to the library
Bicycled to a garage sale
Bicycled to the store (solely to buy snacks for the pet rabbits 🤔)

Saw some fitness cyclers
A few kids on bikes
No adults doing any utilitarian cycling
Eight bazillion cars (Nobody walks/bikes in LA!)
Annoyed the clerks in a store asking them where the nearest bicycle rack was (answer: nowhere nearby)

Just ahead on the trail as a small wooden bridge crossing a creek. On the other side of the creek, the trail continues and disappears into the forest. the forest is showing beautiful colours of green and yellow

You take the blue pallet - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever Chep wants you to believe. You take the red pallet - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the pallet rental economy goes.

This is a 15 second expose from my back garden, borderline Newcastle /Northumberland in the Tyne Valley. The slight jiggle in the star-trails makes me think the tripod may have had a slight wobble, but I really liked the shape... think I might have enough photos to keep my busy editing tomorrow! 😲 #Aurora #UK

Straight out of Midland, Michigan, USA--just when you think you've heard it all. In the news: "Woman found living inside a Michigan grocery store sign".

Quote from article: "A woman in Midland had a novel approach to living rent-free: post up in a sign above a grocery store and turn it into a makeshift apartment."

On Cape Cod, a battery backup for 11,000 customers served by a single 13-mile distribution line was cheaper than building a second power line.

WARNING! This image may trigger PINSecurity.

From an analysis of 3.4m PIN code leaked from several data breaches https://informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/most-common-pin-codes/

A diagonal line of ‘heat’ from bottom left to top right reveals people choosing double digits (2323, 6868 etc). A strong horizontal line at the 19 point shows people using their birth year as a PIN code (1971, 1998 etc). And a large amount of heat in the bottom left shows how people commonly use their birthdate in a MM/DD or DD/MM format. The most common code in the set is 1234.
The Top 20 most common 4 digit PIN numbers, as revealed by an analysis of data breaches, constitute 27% of all PIN numbers. They are 1234, 1111, 0000, 1212, 7777, 1004, 2000, 4444, 2222, 6969, 9999, 3333, 5555, 6666, 1122, 1313,8888,4321,2001,1010

We've released a new puzzle! The Eclipse Puzzle celebrates the total eclipse we got to witness this year. The double sided, reconfigurable cut allows you to assemble it with multiple solutions: the sun, partially eclipsed, or a total eclipse featuring the moon with the corona around it

Photograph of a trio of large sea ducks atop a dark, seaweed-coated rock just off shore, two seated and one standing. All have black-feathered bottoms and white-feathered tops, with an added cap of black feathers atop their heads that merge with their straight, orange bills.
Photograph of a sea snail on the sand. It has a round, spiral-striated shell that’s mostly a dark brown that lightens toward the upward spirals. The body of the snail itself is just visible beneath the shell with two striped feeler tentacles touching the sand as it moves.

If you're looking for an explanation of what's happening at Google with the current layoffs, just watch this video. Steve Jobs' reflections about what happened at Apple provide the best explanation. It's something you'll encounter in all corporate companies.

Went out to feed the birds this a.m. & saw something "mounted" to a back porch support beam. Closer inspection revealed it was a very large #moth. My ID app suggests Polyphemus moth (Antheraea polyphemus) with an average wingspan of 6". It was just chilling during the a.m. storms. I hoped it would open up but it just stayed motionless. It was quite dark so the pics aren't the best. Antennae are very cool!

The moth has large, tear-drop shaped, brownw antennae and a large body and legs covered by long brown hairs. Its wings are patterned and scalloped with grey and brown and it has a large brown "eye" on its outer wing that is surrounded by a narrow circle of light tan.
