A series of small illustrations of portraits close up on people, surrounding a drawing of an ocean sans water. Dead animals are stranded on rocks. A news anchor says "our top story tonight. A rogue gang of beavers has dammed the Atlantic Ocean. The beavers say they will only remove the blockade if their demands are met by 6 PM today. Locals are weight in." A man who looks like a grizzled old sailor says "yea, tho 'twas not he who in hubris fired the opening salvo, Poseidon will surely have the day." The man is identified as "dennis shrup, software developer." Another man, inside a shark costume says "I heard beavers are gonna dam the moon next. i saw a video about it online." The news anchor continues "we take you now to an exclusive interview with the beavers. The beavers are wearing balaclavas. One says "squeak SQUEAK squeak. Squeak. Sqek. Rrr." This is translated as "hello yes, we would like more wood please. More wood to keep building. Build forever. yes."

If you're wondering how to engage students and teachers with questions about technology and place, this lesson is for you. It explores how “sound journals, community, and placemaking invites students to compare the way they describe their community with the way AI describes their community.”

Corpus Christi careens toward water catastrophe City officials expect to reach a “water emergency” within months and run out of water next year. That would halt jet fuel deliveries to Texas airports, hike gas prices and trigger a local economic dis...

Corpus Christi is nearly out of water and will likely hit a crisis point within months. If nothing is done, and so far the Texas GOP don’t seem to be taking it seriously, the entire city would essentially shutdown hurting fuel and gas prices

Many know Ada Lovelace, but too few know about women like Mary Allen Wilkes, who wrote most of the software for the first "personal" computer—the LINC.

Mel Brooks really didn't have to do much to parody the inspector here.

The wooden arm and the way it's used is kinda silly already.
