My friend Todd’s paper on cassowary casques was published in @amornith.bsky.social’s journal Ornithology, “Species-specific casque shapes in the genus Casuarius and implications for visual display.” He had me do the scientific illustrations for the paper 😊

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I

set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did

was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible

I. I did that through a mutual friend

of ours, a guy named
, who is one of the preeminent
underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a

submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Happy birthday, Sci-fi Queen Sigourney.

And she's far from finished with sci-fi, as she'll be appearing in Avatar: Fire and Ash (Dec. 2025) and The Mandalorian & Grogu (May 2026).

Oct 2nd 1963 - Opening game of the 1963 World Series. After failing to convince Nurse Ratched to allow the patients to watch the game, R.P. McMurphy attempted to escape by throwing a hydrotherapy console through a window.

📽️📅 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

4 Screenshots from the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975): First, a man in a white uniform is speaking with a smirk, holding papers, with the subtitle "Today, as you may or may not know-- It doesn't matter." Second, the same man continues speaking with a more serious expression, subtitle reads "--is the opening of the World Series." Third, the man is in a bathroom, straining to lift a large fixture, showing determination. Fourth, a group of men in a room, some seated and some standing, with the subtitle "But I tried, didn't I? Goddamn it."
