Some wonderful pothole tile art around an ever-relevant Tom Robbins quote as seen during a beautiful evening stroll.

"Memes are powerful, and so is the surveillance state."

"It’s something that we all have to be aware of — the panopticon. We’re surveilled at all times, and it’s always framed as a safety thing, when rarely is that the case. It’s more of a deterrent and a fear tactic to try to keep people in line."

While in line to attend a concert with his parents for their 47th anniversary, my friend Frank was swarmed by security and cited with trespassing after facial recognition identified him over a shirt he designed in 2017 that was critical of billionaire James Dolan.

He was not wearing the graphic at the time, and was subsequently prevented from attending a Knicks game with his parents the following night.

Madison Square Garden’s surveillance system banned this fan over his T-shirt design

A fan was ejected from a Knicks game in 2021 for wearing a shirt calling out the team’s owner, James Dolan. This week, the designer of the shirt was swept up in the saga when he was informed that he, too, was banned from all Madison Square Garden venues.

Took some screenshots from the incredible live footage of a Phantom Jelly in the Bellingshausen Abyssal Plain of Antarctica that was just captured by the ROV SuBastion and the crew aboard the Falkor (too) on the Schmidt Ocean channel.

In other news, Jackie laid her first egg of the season this evening, which hopefully means we're in for some fun nest duty antics over the coming weeks. 🦅

If there's any more in this clutch, they'll be 3-5 days apart, w/the first hatch usually beginning after day 35.

Watching this girl spend 60+ consecutive hours on the nest during an extreme ice and snow storm last year was unreal.

🌊 The Nautilus team is on their final dive at the Palau National Marine Sanctuary, one of the largest fully-protected waters in the world.

They'll be exploring for another six hours if you wanna nerd out (or just need something to dissociate to).
