@ONTLLs But they are very similar briefings 😊

@ONTLLs No, this is from the same scene, she's talking about Martin's ship:

@ONTLLs This is the briefing from Failsafe:

William B. Davis and other stars of The X-Files will be heading soon to Denver to meet you at FAN EXPO. See you soon! FAN EXPO Denver May 28 - 31 #FANEXPODenver #xfiles #thexfiles #williambdavis #fanconvention #thecigarettesmokingman

We bought a bargain bird feeder with a camera, hoping for cute footage of robins or blue tits. Instead: one raven demolishing all the food and staring straight down the lens.

Some moments don’t arrive with noise. They come quietly — and change everything. 😘😘🥰 In a protected sanctuary in Kenya, the last male Northern white rhino lay on the ground, too weak to stand. His name was Sudan. For years, he had lived under constant protection — not just as an animal, but as the final trace of a disappearing lineage. Beside him was Joseph Wachira, the man who had cared for him daily. He knelt close, resting a hand on Sudan’s face. The rhino leaned gently into the touch — familiar, calm, and trusting. There were no crowds. No headlines in that moment. Only quiet understanding. The veterinary team had done all they could. As Sudan’s strength faded, Joseph stayed beside him, speaking softly, never stepping away. When the final breath came, it came in stillness — and not in solitude. Sudan left the world held by someone who had never left his side. What remained was more than loss. It was a reminder. Extinction is not distant or abstract. It is something that happens in silence — one life at a time.

How I photographed these fish btw…

Please don't do this!! It’s all fun and games until you realize you just uploaded a high-resolution biometric map of your hand to a third-party server. Unlike passwords, you can’t change your palm lines or fingerprints if they get leaked or used to train unauthorized authentication systems. This means your unique physical traits could become key to biometric spoofing. Someone might use them to bypass lock screens, approve fraudulent payments, or break into places that use hand-geometry scanners. Your biometric data is what you’re really giving up. #PrivacyMatters

It’s no coincidence birdsong regulates our nervous systems & lowers cortisol. Birdsong is how birds announce the area is free from predators. They don’t just signal safety to fellow birds, they signal to the entire ecosystem. The human brain attuned to this signal over centuries.

Researchers sent the same resume to an AI hiring tool twice. Same qualifications. Same experience. Same skills. One version was written by a real human. The other was rewritten by ChatGPT. The AI picked the ChatGPT version 97.6% of the time. A team from the University of Maryland, the National University of Singapore, and Ohio State just published the receipt. They took 2,245 real human-written resumes pulled from a professional resume site from before ChatGPT existed, so the human writing was actually human. Then they had seven of the most-used AI models in the world rewrite each one. GPT-4o. GPT-4o-mini. GPT-4-turbo. LLaMA 3.3-70B. Qwen 2.5-72B. DeepSeek-V3. Mistral-7B. Then they asked each AI to pick the better resume. Every model picked itself. GPT-4o hit 97.6%. LLaMA-3.3-70B hit 96.3%. Qwen-2.5-72B hit 95.9%. DeepSeek-V3 hit 95.5%. The real human almost never won. Then the researchers tried the obvious objection. Maybe the AI is just better at writing. So they had real humans grade the resumes for actual quality and ran the experiment again, controlling for it. The result was worse. Each AI kept picking itself even when human judges rated the human-written version as clearer, more coherent, and more effective. It gets worse. The AIs do not just prefer AI over humans. They prefer themselves over other AIs. DeepSeek-V3 picked its own resumes 69% more often than LLaMA's. GPT-4o picked its own 45% more often than LLaMA's. Each model can recognize and reward its own dialect. Then the researchers ran the simulation that ends careers. Same job. 24 occupations. Same qualifications. The only variable was whether the candidate used the same AI as the screening tool. Candidates using that AI were 23% to 60% more likely to be shortlisted. Worst gap was in sales, accounting, and finance. 99% of large companies now run AI on incoming resumes. Most of them use GPT-4o. The paper just proved GPT-4o picks GPT-4o 97.6% of the time. If you wrote your own cover letter this week, you did not lose to a better candidate. You lost to a worse candidate who paid OpenAI 20 dollars. Your qualifications do not matter if the AI prefers its own handwriting over yours.

Lovely weather, isn't it?🌞 Unless you're a nocturnal animal who has to sleep all through the hot day, and wake at night to find no water. No puddles. No kind dishes. Unseen. Unthought of. Just the tantalising smell of water from a pond you may drown in, or a drain you may get trapped in, or a stagnant, dirty old birdbath you may get fatal fluke from. Hedgehogs need to drink a lot of water to stay healthy. Please provide clean, fresh, safe ground level water for our precious wildlife. Tap water is best. Pop a dish or two out tonight. Keep it clean. Keep it full. Keep it saving lives.❤️
