Dang it to heck! My cousin, with whom I was visiting (east coast, USA) this past week prior to flying back to NZ just sent me this picture of one of the great local critters I was most hoping to see (and spent hours actively looking for!) while there... a big black rat snake. Missed it by a few days.

Photo of tree branch in a fairly dense canopy, centred on a branch (with the windows & weatherboards of a nearby house visible through the gaps in the leaves) on which a stunning large snake, black with some white speckles and a white chin, is lying quietly. The tail end of the snake is hanging off the branch, suggesting it's well over a meter long...

Net loss: $58 million.
How much would you pay to buy this company? mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/112

Via Emptywheel: I wish there were a way to report on this such that once it all crashes the cult members will realize they've been had. Hugo Lowell: New: #Trump Media — the parent company of Truth Social — recorded $58m in losses against $4m in revenue in 2023, per SEC filings. The merger to take the company public last week unlocked new capital but the business fundamentals don’t justify $7bn valuation.

It's very early days with AI devices but i think the Rabbit R1 does a great job not failing completely from the start like the AI pin did. I will wait for the next generation however.
