Hey, did y'all see this?
I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!
I'll share some of the info below:
Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.
What to do?
-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides
- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!
To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!
Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!
Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.
Let's Rename the Birds!!! (pt. 12)
As you may already know... ornithological authorities (such as the AOS and ABA) in North America have decided, for a variety of reasons, to rename all of the birds that have been named after people.
Some examples: Lewis's Woodpecker, Smith's Longspur, MacGillivray's Warbler...
I thought it would be fun for us to come up with some ideas for new common names here on Tumblr.
Here are some criteria for re-naming that might appeal to ornithologists and birdwatchers:
Habitat and geographical range
Physical characteristics
Call/song characteristics
Behavior
PLEASE MAKE YOUR NAMING SUGGESTIONS IN THE COMMENTS, REBLOG, OR TAGS.
We'll take the best ideas, and put them in a poll by the end of the week! (I and an esteemed panel of ornithological tumblererrsssres will make the decisions).
WEEK 12 - Brandt's Cormorant
Brandt’s Cormorant (Urile penicillatus), courtship displays, family Phalacrocoracidae, order Suliformes
Ranges along the Pacific Coast of North America, from SE Alaska to both sides of the Gulf of California in Mexico.
The more northern populations migrate to the coastal US in Winter.
Strictly marine (ocean) cormorant. (Almost never found inland, except occasionally during migration).
Adults have a bright blue gular pouch during the breeding season.
The nest along the coast, often on cliffs, islands, and rocky outcroppings in groups.
Both parent care for the chicks.
These cormorants dive for their prey, which is mostly fish (but they occasionally feed on squid and crustaceans, as well).
They are known for feeding on herring and rockfish, but feed on up to 93 species of fish.
They may hunt alone or in large groups out at sea.
This is my favorite cormorant.
Courtship and mated pair welcome displays include bowing, wing spreading, head lifting (to show off the gorgeous blue throat patch), and cocking up the tail.
This species does not do the spread wing posture to dry wings for prolonged periods, the way many other species of cormorant do.
Some notes about similarities to other cormorants: there are other species that also nest along coasts, dive for fish, and are found in oceans.

man i really miss the days when it was possible to stream movies for groups without having to bend over backwards (Rabb.it you will always be missed) cause it's been AGES since i did a "Horror Movies and Chill" stream and i'm really in the mood to do it again.....like i'm gonna rewatch the Chucky series in honor of pride month and it would be SO fun to do an art stream/watch but i'm also not out to get sued or w/e :c
BROS im a fake Chucky fan (well......) deadass i forgot about Child's Play II and III even though i've seen them bc like in my mind the series goes
Child's Play
Bride of Chucky
Seed of Chucky
and that's fucking it sldkfjasdflkj (its actually bc im only a casual Chucky fan, tbh i mostly only care about Tiffany and Glen/da ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
......have i like. grown too Soft for slasher films???? like i remember being younger and going "hee hee hoo hoo horrid little dolls that kill people to death" but this time watching i just. felt rather uncomfortable the whole time??? like the writers did a good enough job making the actual victims less sympathetic for the most part but the random killings felt Bad to me, specifically, and the first film just made me so so sad for the poor kid and his poor mom, especially knowing what happens to them down the line. like OBVIOUSLY it's just a movie yadda yadda but what i mean is that i remember this being fun in the past and it's not fun anymore. what happened to me?
I'm compelled to ask.. now that all of the character previews are out, do you have any thoughts on the Cyborg 009 Nemesis designs for the team?
i was gonna ask you the same question sldkfjasdf ok honestly i'm setting my bar at Call of Justice which was a mixed bag for me personally but as far as Pyunma, Geronimo, and Chang are concerned i thought CoJ was their best looks so far. and tbh i do prefer Geronimo's CoJ look (i don't understand the choice to give him red hair in Nemesis but at least he has long hair now? the bar is SO low.) BUT i think Nemesis Chang is the best he's literally ever looked and i adore him, and Pyunma i think is on par with CoJ (VERY handsome, 10/10). in my brain, Great Britain NEEDS to be 1968/2001 version stretchy if you know what i mean? i feel like they tried to make him look like a cool bald guy but like. he's already a bald guy who is cool, let him look like the lovable doofus he is!! Joe is fine imho, Albert is nigh impossible to mess up (Re: Cyborg aside) and so is Ivan, but sadly i think poor Francoise looks a little bland :c i can't quite put my finger on it but she just looks so lifeless compared to several of her past incarnations and she deserves better. the uniform designs overall are fine, though honestly i kiiiiiiinda miss the sexy boots from CoJ. (don't get me wrong, 2001 and 1968 versions are my favorite, but i really liked the modernization of most of the design choices in CoJ)
but Jet.
oh my gods.
like we're not at Re: Cyborg levels of "what the fuck were they thinking" by far, and it's an improvement imho from CoJ (why was he blonde??) but for the love of the gods WHY are they so afraid to give him his iconic nose??? or at least AN aquiline nose?? how is he supposed to be aerodynamic without his BEAK, dammit??? but also i'm personally REALLY partial to big aquiline noses irl, i think they're extremely attractive, and aside from that i feel like giving him such a painfully generic anime boy face does a disservice to the uniqueness of the original creator's designs.
tl;dr i'm glad we're FINALLY at acceptable appearances for Pyunma and Chang (and Geronimo, even though the red hair feels off to me, i'm not Indigenous myself so i can't confirm whether it's actually egregious) in the year of our lord 2026, but i feel like depicting them as NOT racist stereotypes didn't need to mean that the others' unique designs had to be watered down?

um actually there's nothing wrong with letting cats be outdoor pets. your cat is depressed locked inside forever. it's animal abuse. let it outside. more cats should be let outside more often. especially overnight.
honestly this whole genAI debacle has been a very awesome way to tell which companies truly do not give a fuck about making products or services people actually want. which already-billion-dollar companies are willing to shed what's left of their humanity in the name of *maybe* making more money using technology that is immensely destructive and historically never has been profitable and everybody fucking despises. which companies will fire thousands of employees and alienate all of their consumers in order to *maybe* save money. we here at google have decided to make our main products completely fucking useless because we hate you
i wish i hadn't been homeschooled. like yeah i didn't have to deal with bullies or waking up at like 6am or whatever but holy shit was i stifled in the long run. like as an adult i realize more and more that i got none of the opportunities offered to public school students - field trips, especially trips abroad, and my social skills are still fucked, nor do i have any lifelong relationships that public school allows one to develop. it's extremely difficult for me to build connections, career-wise and socially. but shit i didn't get taught evolution or sex ed so i guess it was all worth it (i looked it up online when i was way too young and unsupervised and learned about sex the most dangerous way possible, and also became a biologist and pagan).
So I thought y'all would like this too This great white comes to the jersey shore every year and this year they named her and have been tracking her hella so this is Mary Lee and she decided to show herself under this rainbow for pride month A true gay icon

every time i visit the yellow-headed blackbirds at this marsh i am treated to something special. this time i watched a pair perform a circular, bobbing courtship dance in which the female remained bowed and facing the male as he quietly dipped and jumped a circle around her. this is not at all typical of them-- their typical courting involves the male perching himself conspicuously on a reed/branch/post and fanning his wings whilst screeching loudly. between this and the unique songs i have recorded at this marsh, i am beginning to wonder if these birds don't have their own regional "cultures". i look forward to observing them more.

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know
