Flipper 🐬🏳️‍🌈🌹

flipper@mastodonapp.uk

I'm what used to be called a machine learning engineer, originally from London (the English one), living in the SF Bay Area for the past 20 years.Likes left-wing politics and long walks on the beach (I guess).In a past life, I've been a climate scientist and I self-identify as a Bayesian. I'm an active member of the DSA.ifl books.I will always like pictures of nature; especially birds, but also the weird and wonderful and unsung. Nature is the best.

It turns out that the best bottle of wine to take to a police party is not a cab.

@gwynnion@mastodon.social should join the Republican party if they want to get away with that shit.

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social we've got the honking of geese training their goslings right now. I just imagine they're honking: "march! march! march!" as they corral their little charges.

@DarlavdRiet@mastodon.nl @johnmwildlife@mastodon.social that is a nuthatch. Both fascinating birds. We don't have exactly the same species here, but we do have nuthatches and the occasional brown creeper (similar to the tree creeper). One goes down the tree, the other up.

@ZachWeinersmith@mastodon.social it's been years since I first failed to understand Dirac notation, and I'm glad to say I continue to do so.

@obscurestar@mastodon.social @benroyce@mastodon.social Zarathustra is easy to read, difficult to understand. Not for the simple minded. Ayn Rand, for example, should never have read it.

@dangillmor@mastodon.social unfortunately, par for the course. So many IPOs involve off books and totally legal kickbacks. This is just another, possibly more egregious, example.

@blogdiva@mastodon.social if it had been taken with Spain in the upper left, I'd've been fine with it - that just happens. But forcibly rotating it to satisfy small minds? smh

@MiBaWi@m.ai6yr.org I'm sure it's just the wide angle lens causing distortions - we can all relax, the Earth is still flat. Phew!

@blogdiva@mastodon.social looks a lot like "trying not to look like you've just done coke" eyes, yes. Probably to sober up from drinking.
