Tweets about illegal fishing, corporate transparency, maritime domain awareness and football. Ex DOD & Pew but always NY Giants, Notre Dame and Stony Brook. Opinions mine, not my employers. The same one from Twitter.

Just a reminder that I manage a conservation and fisheries (or fisheries conservation) starter pack. One day I'll get around to a counter IUU specific one but today is not that day.

I’m not one to pull out the tired “let em cook” canard but on the other hand, I am interested in watching him continue this line thought

I sometimes think people don't see DC as a "real" city as it's the Capitol, but over 700K people call it home - so many families have been here for generations and exist outside of the people the rest of the country send here to govern.

Pay attention to what is happening to us.

Robyn Swirling @rswirling.bsky.social · 7h

Once again: this is also happening in DC. Still.

It feels like we’ve been forgotten, maybe because there aren’t huge confrontations to run photos of. But our neighbors are still being taken every day. Routine traffic stops are now done by 12+ feds alongside local police.

Please talk about us too.

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand

My favorite thing about taking brain meds is that while they make it so I don’t worry about everything all the time, if I’m late on taking them my head feels like someone picked it up and shook it violently

Gina Fiore @marsecgina.bsky.social · 4d

Just for that I’m going to protest for free

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 4d

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

It got almost no attention but six months ago Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ditched the beneficial ownership rules that facilitate tax evasion and oligarchy by simply choosing to not enforce them. Bob Kuttner has that story.

How Scott Bessent Enables Oligarchy

The Treasury secretary has gutted the most important anti-corruption reform legislation in a generation—the 2020 Corporate Transparency Act.

Parent needs a hand coming up with a fantastical story at bedtime whose details may resemble fact but are impossible to verify?

Congratulations, Nature has already filled this void: what you're looking for is 'an uncle''

Some parents are letting their kids talk to ChatGPT in the guise of characters. Some are using it to tell bedtime stories or create coloring books.

"My son thinks ChatGPT is the coolest train loving person in the world. The bar is set so high now I am never going to be able to compete with that.”

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?

Some believe AI can spark their child’s imagination through personalized stories and generative images. Scientists are wary of its affect on creativity

But seriously, I’m super excited to join a team working specifically on State level fisheries transparency. Sunlight is always the best disinfectant no matter what industry you’re in.

Some personal job news - I’m officially joining the @fishcoalition.bsky.social as their Senior Policy Manager, which means the exact same mix of illegal fishing, corporate transparency and sports content that you’ve all enjoyed here for the past forever.

what blueskyists will have to learn sooner or later (it is now officially "later") is that you definitionally don't have a good social site without sports posting

Everything Stephen Miller learnt about international law came from that Simpsons episode where Homer and Bart steal Mr. Burns’ yacht.
