California’s valiant attempt to be relevant to this article in the face of an overwhelming aura of Florida is cute.

I like “carbon mineralization” a lot more than “enhanced weathering”. And the article also mentions the distinction nowadays between “carbon dioxide removal” and “carbon capture and storage”. Thanks for the updates, on terminology and otherwise.

Twitter is no longer a bird anyway.

Thanks for the goosebumps 😬

Update: the city of Plantation has just added an event!

Project: City of Plantation note: only covers Plantation Preserve Linear Trail and Golf Course special event: September 9, 9am ~ 11am

Again, note that the project covers the whole month, even though the special event is on a particular day.

Oh, you might already know this but I just wanted to mention that there’s City Nature Challenge in May, which is also a BioBlitz run in a bunch of different places (similar to the Parks for Pollinators event in that regard).

Yeah, there’s a variety of BioBlitz events; this one just happens to be one of the bigger sets of events.

And thanks for the extra info!

Thank you for the reminder!

I clicked on it expecting just a simple “they’re genetic clones and they’re susceptible this same disease”, but this is quite a bit more depth about things. Thanks for sharing!

Big News: Little Newts

An advertisement need not necessarily be art, but what counts as art is also a subjective thing. “Just text and some stars” could be art, depending on how one thinks about it.

Wait, do you mean it was possible to place white on white? I thought that wasn’t possible…

I disagree; something can be both advertisement and art at the same time.

To some extent, some people also painted more when they saw there was more space. I know I did. If the Canvas had filled up, I’d either have stopped or gotten involved in turf battles if they came up.

I don’t think this was possible this time, but someone suggested this possibility upthread.

FWIW as a sidenote I just wanted to point out that it seems the system tracked pixel ‘virginity’ based simply on whether they’d been touched at all before, including corrections; rather, it was background pixels that didn’t charge the extra cooldown, from what I could tell.

Sorry for the silly nitpicking about wording, though given that the Canvas treated these two properties separately I wonder if this might be useful information for whoever runs this next time.
