New Metro Pop-Up store opens tomorrow at our HQ…team continues to do amazing stuff, this time w/ Metro 50th and America 250th special merchandise. I think many things are going to sell out. We appreciate all your love & support of @wmata
i'm obsessed with AI DIY projects
my favorite one right now is this guy who built an AI system that listens for birds outside his apartment, figures out what species they are, and paints them on his wall.
here's how the whole thing works:
1. a cheap usb mic on his balcony listens for birdsong 24/7
2. BirdNET, Cornell's AI model trained on 6,000+ species, names each bird species from the sound alone (no camera needed)
3. every time it hears one, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image paints that exact bird in the style of an Edo-period japanese woodblock print
4. the new painting drops into a live collage of everything that's been singing outside in the last 24 hours
5. and it all shows up on a framed e-ink display on his wall that reads "heard today" like a little museum placard for his neighborhood
knowing which birds visit you used to take a field guide, a trained ear, plus years of patient practice.
teddy just glances at the frame on his wall and sees the cardinal came back this morning
honestly i'm highly tempted to build one myself haha

Apparently June is scoliosis awareness month as well as pride month, so it's just a great month for people like me who are not straight in any way, shape, or form
If you’re visiting for a very large sporting event & you happen to discover RANCH while you’re here… pls pack it in your CHECKED BAG on the way home.
Thank you.
A bulbul created a snug nest for its babies in the hood of a Franciscan friar's habit. The friars also put up a little flyer cautioning everyone to not disturb the birds.
St. Francis of Assisi is also the patron saint of birds and animals.

Is anyone else glued to the livestream of the Kennedy center? It’s like the ‘Will they? Won’t they?’ in a romcom. Every time you think they finished the scaffolding, another layer gets added.
was asking my husband if he cared about the baby shower theme and he was like what is that? do you mean like space or like mafia themed? and now he wont let go of the mafia idea. he says the invitations would say "welcome a new member of the family" and we could do italian food
I'd note that the National Guard is not "law enforcement," but political theater for President Trump. Those N.G. soldiers should be home with the families and helping out their own communities.
