Clams
I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

A valvometer is like a fitbit for clams, used to measure the opening and closing of the valves. I installed valve sensors on juvenile giant clams I farmed at Biosphere 2, finding they opened up in the daytime to bask and photosynthesize, partially closing at night to avoid predatory worms (319)

Here are some fossil pleurotomariids, which have lived in Earth’s oceans for over 450 million years.This is a kind of snail you won’t find in your garden or on a seashore. You’d have to dive 400 meters to see a living one.If you could beachcomb in the Jurassic, you’d probably find one on the coast🐚

I often think about how the government hounded Aaron Swartz to death for scraping Jstor, yet all these AI companies scraped almost literally all of human knowledge (and continue to do so even when they're told to stop) and have had no criminal consequences.

Yo, dawg! I heard you like bivalves, so we put clams in your clam so you can bivalve while you bivalve!
Someone tag @dantheclamman.blog , I feel like he has relevant interests.

The article talks about opening up central California to oil and gas development.. Looking at Bureau of Ocean Energy Management maps, this could include a large swath of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, including the Bodega and Año Nuevo basins, and Partington basin off Big Sur.

Construction of the 40-m China-Argentina Radio Telescope (CART) has halted, when already 90% complete.
The facility is caught up in Argentine president Javier Milei's attempt to secure an economic aid package from the US, which objects to China's involvement. 🔭

All I see here is a very everyday leaf (the leaf is doing a great job).
👻 Boo! Meet the ghost mantis. This species’ leaf-like appearance helps it disappear among foliage, concealing it from predators and prey. When tasty critters—like grasshoppers and moths—wander too close, it uses its powerful forelimbs to snatch them up!
