This is the sort of subtle, almost invisible replacement of artists by AI that we've all been worried about. It starts with fewer and fewer calls and emails until the work is just gone entirely. No mass layoffs, no severance, no announcements, just the quiet death of illustration

Looking at all Aug-Sep-Oct storms & hurricanes that have passed within 100 miles of 98L's current location since 1851 shows a wide variety of previous tracks. Those who say "it normally wouldn't go there" don't know history.

What a moment.

Brazil's Italo Ferreira made history as the first Olympic gold medalist in men's surfing, and was carried out of the water by his team. #TokyoOlympics

This is the best thing on the internet! NOAA's @oceanexplorer #Okeanos live-dive on N peak of Gosnold Seamount, off coast of NY/NJ.

Here's a chimaera (aka rabbitfish or ratfish) they just encountered

Here's why it's a bad idea to use a satellite where another is closer: parallax effect from GOES-16 being so far away makes infrared readings much cooler than reality. You can see the change to more realistic values when it switches to the closer GOES-17

This storm in the South Atlantic has sent long period swell toward the US East Coast. We occasionally see these this time of year - this is one of the bigger ones. Buoys picking it up today. Small but locally fun #surf for some, esp. NE US region.

[David C. Montgomery @descaflow]

@MWatsonSurfline I consistently watch the North Atlantic basin but never think to watch this area. I completely missed seeing this swell coming. Recorded a similar swell this time of year in 2017 in my personal North Florida wave log. Thanks for noting the source.

The more I get involved with Youth Sports (Currently coaching13-14 youth rec. league) the more I realize we have lost our way w/ youth sports and it's going to hit a breaking point where lower skilled kids who just want to be introduced and have fun will be kicked to the curb.

The Akira bike slide has been a huge inspiration for many since the movie released in 1988

@DudeRyanBrewz Hayley Morris and Allison Schulnik are two of my favorites.

Anchiornis huxleyi, a small jurassic theropod. It's the first dinosaur with known coloration.
With measured confidence we can say it was mostly grey, with light specked wings and brown/yellow crest and possible cheek spots.

Shibal biyong implies that you might as well make yourself happy right now because your prospects in the long term seem bleak. Buy that nice coat, because you’ll never get on the housing ladder. Eat that steak, because you’ll never save up enough to retire.https://t.co/1UgeC6O6WP

[Alongside Wildlife Foundation @WildlifeFound]

We have to stop thinking about our landscapes as being protected and suitable for wildlife or not and need to develop strategies that allow for wildlife to persist alongside us, virtually everywhere.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

For the entirety of capitalism's 500-year history, economic growth has involved the appropriation of "cheap nature" for the sake of surplus accumulation. It is irrational to expect that a system organized around this logic will ever automatically reverse ecological breakdown.
