So I want to talk about this from the perspective of someone who does professional fact checking as part of my work. For some years now I have been paid to check TV and written content themed around animals to make sure it is factually accurate. Chat GPT & AI has made that job so much harder.

Paleontologist here. That's...not the lesson we are supposed to take from the past. Sure, life uh, finds a way, but I'm pretty sure most of us individuals like being alive! Not incinerated or choked to death on methane or obliterated by a tidal wave...

wonderful and strange and a little sad to see these forearm-length nereids beached after a night’s spawning, still resolutely trying to move with all their life’s energy having been converted into gametes. they explode in a shower of blood and guts when touched lightly

For "surprisingly warm water" fishes #SundayFishSketch, I continue my #TaiwanFishes subtheme with Monopterus albus / ι±”ι­šβ€”a hardy, air-breathing wetland fish able to survive dry seasons and other extreme conditions. It's a delicacy in #Taiwan and one of my favs! #EelOrNoEel πŸ¦‘πŸ‘πŸ§ͺ
