I’d have to convince the captain of the RV Aurora to dock in the Hudson River instead of Woods Hole. But if there’s a royalty check waiting for me I’ll consider it.

ChatGPT still needs to improve its image creation. Doesn’t look anything like me.

This is what non-frenzied feeding of a large squalus looks like. Working a whale like it’s corn-on-the-cob.

The officer told me to tell you that you’re overloading that boat.

Hey Twitter! I’ve been at sea on my floating asylum. What’d I miss?

[Matt Hooper @HooperInSharks]

Could someone please send me the bite radius? #SharkCity

My time in Amity definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. “Friendships” sour quickly.

Diesel, chum, and apricot brandy flavored.

[Matt Hooper @HooperInSharks]

Can confirm.

[Matt Hooper @HooperInSharks]

I know this feeling, pal.

[Matt Hooper @HooperInSharks]

Probably a large squalus. Possibly either C. longimanus or Isurus glaucus.

Annual reminder.

PSA: Rogue sharks are most prone to attack on 4th of July weekends near summer towns with mayors who ignore scientists and public safety officials. Be safe out there!
