Glide of the Frigate
Here is a magnificent frigatebird (Fregata magnificens) that I saw last year.
"Beachgoers delight in this large, black pterodactyl-like bird that soars effortlessly on tropical breezes with hardly a flap, using its deeply forked tail to steer. Watching a Magnificent Frigatebird float in the air truly is, as the name implies, magnificent. These master aerialists are also pirates of the sky, stealing food from other birds in midair. Males have a bright red pouch on the throat, which they inflate like a balloon to attract females. Females unlike most other seabirds look different than males with their white chest." - allaboutbirds.org

A “sort of classic unclassified example that exists is like a picture of a plane from the top, and you’re looking for a plane, and then if you put tires on top of the wings, all of a sudden, a lot of #computer vision models have difficulty identifying that that’s a plane,” Moore said as part of a larger discussion about #AI models and data sets.

I set environment variables in Python:
bear_shits_in_the_woods = True
pope_is_catholic = True
Makes for more entertaining While True loops and If something is True conditionals.

3 part plan for destroying the far right, legally, outside of winning elections:
1. Crack down on MLMs.
2. Regulation of dietary supplements.
3. Allow direct to consumer car sales. (Car dealers way outspend on right wing causes)

The radicalizing of yoga and other alternative spaces really bummed me out. I wasn't surprised, but it is disappointing...
I've been saying for years that the universe is not color coded. The brightest aruras often hide the most judgement and cruelty.
I worked in the health food industry for a while, it's not hard to get them to follow a rotten carrot...
Herbalife comes to mind immediately...
"“A second Trump administration could detain hundreds of thousands of people, but it does not have the ability or the capacity to move them out of the country as fast as ICE, the National Guard and local law enforcement can bring them in. Expect to see families behind barbed wire in overcrowded camps, desperate U.S.-citizen children looking for missing immigrant parents, and U.S. citizens swept up in immigration raids.”"

in reply to Chris Hallbeck • • •this reminds me of the day I asked my 7 year old to bring me my glasses.
They were so kind with my glasses. Wrapping their hands completely around the lenses, to ensure they weren't damaged en transit.
After half an hour of cleaning them off, I now know how fast they can dirty a tablet screen.
