screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.
this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about
Painted portrait of the Frankenstein monster. Little bit of brain popping out of his stapled forehead. He's also got big old neck bolts and a well-worn comfy jacket.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 109 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.
Among many other things this is a proliferation nightmare. The lesson learned will be never negotiate with the United States.

newsrooms of the world did u know that when Rümeysa Öztürk gets out you can pay her to write an editorial, and then publish it? did u know that if all of you did this it would be a whole thing and a good one
How the War Over Trans Athletes Tore a Volleyball Team Apart Blaire Fleming was a little-known college player. Then she suddenly became a symbol of injustice — to both sides of the controversy.
But at the moment, such a system — one that recognizes the inherent tension between fairness and inclusion, that acknowledges both the benefits of participation and the zero-sum nature of competition — is no longer a possibility. In its place, we have a fractious, seemingly irresolvable culture war, with neither side willing to extend the benefit of the doubt, much less any grace, to the other. Supporters of a ban consider trans athletes to be cheaters and possibly perverts. Supporters of inclusion view those who hesitate or have questions as bigots. The notion that someone they disagree with might be acting in good faith is inconceivable.
Back on their bullshit I see

Democrats moved more swiftly to undermine to college students protesting genocide than Trump’s second administration.
They don’t even have a communication strategy in place! Which is wild because comms is the only lever they have to pull until at least midterms.
Nancy Pelosi campaigned AGAINST AOC in favor of Connolly for this position.
It’s not incompetence, it’s open hostility. Having no strategy is a decision.

Please remember that President Carter appointed more minorities and women to the bench than all previous presidents combined. He was the first President to embrace the concept of bringing racial diversity to the federal bench. A key aspect of his legacy.
