An adult and a baby Blainville's Horned Lizard @evowo.bsky.social spotted while we were hiking a new area for both of us in SoCal! This was my first time seeing this species, so I was really stoked about it, they are awesome lizards! #herps 🦎

A young Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake @evowo.bsky.social and I came across during the weekend while hiking new areas in SoCal. Very light colored little guy with lots of speckling, super pretty! #herps 🐍
A beautiful Red-diamond Rattlesnake @evowo.bsky.social and I found a couple of nights ago in SoCal! Really happy to see this species again, they are just stunning! #herps 🐍
This moderation is absolutely nuts. Labels worked fine and I knew to avoid those posts that were already hidden by me and the creators both opting in, but now I'm playing Russian Roulette with my feed due to this insanity. Screw it, time to turn all the filters off.
IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.
¡ATENCIÓN! 🚨 El 5 de Julio de 2026 entra en vigencia la actualización de los ToS de Linktree. Esto incluye el uso de IA generativa (Dall-E de OpenAI) con los textos, imágenes y links que el usuario suba a su cuenta. Incluso compartirán toda la info del usuario con otros proveedores externos de IA ⚠️
Seems like an excellent time to remind people that the entire reason 7tv was created was because the dev didn't like that BTTV removed racist and blackface emotes. Use BTTV or FFZ to see emotes in the meantime, or make the permanent switch. 7tv is the Kick of emotes.
ATTENTION 7TV USERS There is currently a bug where the chat input box does not show up. If you guys see this issue, disable the 7TV extension until it is fixed.

Chrome is reaching into users' machines and writing a 4 GB on-device AI model file to disk without asking. It is the weights for Gemini Nano, Google's on-device LLM. Chrome did not ask. Chrome does not surface it. If the user deletes it, Chrome re-downloads it. www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-...
Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. — That Privacy Guy!

Decided out of curiosity to see if I was on any block lists and found this. Thinking about printing it out and putting it on my fridge.
Went up north to visit family this past week, so I didn't get to go out much but I managed to encounter this beautiful Spotted Salamander in Northern Virginia a few days ago! #herps
One of my favorite species to see in early spring are Eastern Ribbonsnakes! A fairly uncommon species in Tennessee due to their limited range within the state. Found this one last week while on a walk with my gf @valenthedragon.bsky.social !

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.
New Year's Resolution: Like and share more of the lovely art I see around here. I always indulge, but I need to show more support than just viewing. Maybe leave some nice comments once in a while, especially to my friends. The good news is I've already gotten a head start on it! Merry Christmas!
