🔥 NEW: Ecologist Olivia Sanderfoot at #Cornell is building a new field she calls smoke #ecology, asking how #wildfire smoke affects birds even hundreds of kilometers from any flames. #Birds breathe roughly twice as much air as #humans per breath, using rigid lungs and air sacs, so smoke hits them harder. Sanderfoot is combining atmospheric #chemistry, satellite #data, and thousands of volunteer nest-box observers to track what birds do when #smoke arrives. 👉 https://www.npr.org/2026/10/06/nx-s1-5991854/wildfire-smoke-ecology-birds-wildlife-health #ecology #ornithology #climate #conservation #bluebirds #science #wildlife #nature #birding #research #animals

A hearing this week. Pepper and I see these elaborately-equipped test Waymoes plying the streets more often than we'd think likely. An interesting wrinkle we old-time municipal observers might annoyingly draw to attention is that, if the state legislature doesn't like something Minneapolis does, it simply overrides it. "The proposed ordinance is the latest attempt to regulate autonomous vehicles in the state. As of now, Minnesota does not have any specific rules regulating driverless cars. "That leaves Waymo in a legal gray area. Current rules of the road generally assume there’s a driver in the car who can take responsibility if they’re pulled over or if they get in a crash. For autonomous vehicles, that accountability is up in the air." https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/09/22/minneapolis-considers-autonomous-vehicle-restrictions-as-waymo-test-driving-continues #Minneapolis #SelfDrivingCars #humans

[P] "How could I have been so incredibly wrong?" Hiverarchy, my dear scholar. Hiverarchy. Our paleolithic pals haven't evolved from their evolutionary niche in millennia, the span of fourteen years is an unreasonable expectation. https://climatehuman.substack.com/p/i-was-just-forced-to-resign-from The climate crisis is a construct of hiverarchy, the two go hand-in-hand. #psychology #actuallyautistic #enshittification #humans #climatecrisis #climatechange #climatecatastrophe #science

For a lot of you, the world has probably become an incredibly hectic place with little let up from day to day. (How do you even have time to read this?!?!) And if you find it all overwhelming, science backs it up. The daily pressure is outpacing our bodies and minds, leading to significant mental and physical health problems.

Shot the annual Shiny Side Up bike and car show in San Jose yesterday... no, it's not that kind of bike show. This is a very Northern California kind of show. It's a low rider "cruiser bike" and low rider car show with other kinds of bike and bike related celebrations included. One of those bike celebrations are BMX stunt performances. I'll have additional photos from the show coming soon, but some of the BMX shots are just too fun not to share. 1/ #BMX #stunts #humans #cool #photography

#Buzz is a #free, #opensource #collaboration platform where #humans and #AIagents work together in a shared workspace. Built on the #Nostr protocol, Buzz allows for seamless integration with existing tools and provides a platform for agent collaboration without vendor lock-in. The platform is model-agnostic and agent-agnostic, enabling teams to deploy agents powered by any LLM or agent harness. https://block.xyz/inside/introducing-buzz-where-humans-and-agents-work-together?eicker.news #tech #media #news

#SocialMedia of #realnameregistration , oh sorry, they call it real #humans , that advertises with " #AI " #slop #wsocial is more than problematic And already has #bots crawling it's #network Now they show that they are problematic concerning #aesthetics as well & advertise with tasteless #aislop @bildoperationen@tldr.nettime.org#realnameregistration is highly dangerous & if the company that wants to have your most private data can't save there net from bots they're not very trustworthy, are they? #tech
