A clip of the active orcas we saw off Bainbridge Island while out with the @whaleresearch.bsky.social yesterday 🤩
In addition to being very surface active, they were also vocalizing, allowing us to get our first-ever Bigg's killer whale calls paired with drone video.

I can't really explain why, but this is my absolute favorite song. Saw them perform live in late 80s at a Mardi Gras ball with Dennis Quaid drunkenly trying to get on stage and sing with them even after several physical tosses off stage by security.

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.
But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.
Miss me with this bs.

We need to make it illegal for AI models to offer advertising. And, we need to really examine referral fees as well.
The last thing we need is to have algorithms designed to maximize revenue driving LLM output and interactions.
We need to have learned our lessons from algos in social media
