I just got another AI book promo email. Things get really funny when the AI thinks I’m writing a taut family drama instead of a book about pigeons
My very first comics collection is getting reissued next tuesday, on July 28, and if you preorder it (or already preordered it!) you can fill out a form and get a printable PDF of one of my most popular comics! site.andrewsmcmeel.com/birding-is-m...
As an author, I’m constantly getting AI-written promotional emails now, but the sheer length of this one blew my mind. There’s something wild about spending all day writing, carefully balancing sentences and picking the right words, and then opening my email and seeing this gargantuan slop tome

OH DAMN, there was a blue jay at the @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social seed party with catastrophically molted head feathers, a blue version of @rosemarymosco.com's Bloödcheëp!!!!
Most people—even many Republican voters!—understand that climate change is worsening wildfires. And yet, we cannot do anything about it, because fossil fuel money is choking both Republican and Democratic politicians, preventing them from even having a *conversation* about solutions.
The fossil fuel money behind the GOP’s wildfire blame game
As smoke from Canadian wildfires chokes the United States, Republicans are blaming everyone but the industry heating the planet. Guess why?

A woodcarver named Becky W (vortenjou.bsky.social, rosehip.wordpress.com) made a sculpture of my nuthatch comic, showing a white-breasted nuthatch sitting on real nuts and hatching one of them. I'm so happy
Moth folks, what lights are you using for your current setup? I need to grab some lights for an upcoming moth night.
Let's do some Canadian pipeline-wildfire math. The Canadian Energy Center says growing oil exports by 1.5M barrels/day **could** boost GDP by ~31B annually. Meanwhile, wildfire smoke health costs alone - just the health costs, nothing else - averaged 23B/year, past tense. And they're growing fast.

A new report estimates wildfire smoke has cost Canada $231 billion since 2014. See how much each province has spent.

Please check on your neighbours in this extreme smoke situation. Yesterday I found out my upstairs neighbour was relying on the air conditioner filter to deal with the air. I quickly lent him an extra Dyson air purifier I had in my apartment that I found on the street.
Friend of the podcast @rosemarymosco.com asked us for our take on the new research on sperm whale vocalizations! Long story is it's neat! But also doesn't necessarily tell us all that much yet! Plus, we threw in some bonus dogs and bonobos for more context on trying to chat with animals
Lingthusiasm@lingthusiasm.com · 3w agoCan we teach dogs to express their needs better by pressing buttons? How about bonobos? What have we learned from the first-ever recording of a sperm whale birth? In this episode we get enthusiastic about how people use technology to enhance our communication with these three animals!
830 wildfires burning across Canada right now. And you know what’s going to make it worse in the future? More oil pipelines. This is why our voice and our vote matters.
