Celebrating ROV SuBastian's 900th scientific dive since completing sea trials in 2016. Seen in this milestone dive during #LivingBioreactors — a single-celled organism called Foraminifera, a “berried” crustacean (translation: shrimp carrying eggs), several dazzling jellyfish, & a string of salps.

Jaw-dropping jellyfish, Poralia sp, 1,414m (ID, Dr. Anela Choy) “There are many mysteries to uncover,” Choy writes. “But perhaps this beautiful brownish, reddish medusae has a unique role to play in connecting carbon flow between the deep water column with the seafloor.” #OBVI #LivingBioreactors

Anyone else feeling tired today? This fish, likely a deep-sea sole — a species of flatfish in the family Pleuronectidae, likes lazing about along muddy bottoms. ROV pilots filmed while exploring a pockmark, or crater, along the seafloor at 460m. #ArgentinianDeepSeeps

Sea squirts & squid! ROV pilots filmed these salps and spectacular squid during the #SouthSandwichIslands expedition with @oceancensus.bsky.social in early 2025. Salps, also known as sea squirts, are ubiquitous throughout the Ocean, and abundant in the Southern Ocean.

What do shrimp see? “These guys have completely different eye designs,” according to Dr. Jan Hemmi, a visual neurobiologist. Their large eye size tells Dr. Hemmi and his colleagues that eyes are pretty important to these animals. #designingthefuture3 Read more: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Donald Trump approved the sale of 500,000 AI chips to the UAE just a few months after an UAE royal bought a 49% stake in Trump's crypto company.   Is this sh*t legal? No, no, and HELL no.

An an 18-year-old #teen #youth was #shot to #death in her home in #Baltimore on #MothersDay weekend. Violence to and by girls and women is too often de-emphasized. Still too much multifaceted violence. Officials tout homicide reductions but do not forge lasting #holistic, #integrative solutions.

When "Cancel" is what you click to undo something in an app, and then instead of using an entirely different word, "Cancel" appears again in a dialog box as the choice to do the opposite. Like here from the CBS Sports Fantasy app, where I have to click cancel > confirm, not cancel > cancel.

Do you see a difference between a church that’s active… and one that’s alive? Can a church be busy, historic, and well-known… and still be spiritually dead? Jesus seems to think so (Revelation 3:1). What do you think?
