I have found myself getting excited about birds, but my big thing has been

Give me a hundred guesses and I wouldn’t have come close to what comes next in this sentence.

Oswald didn’t do it.

Nope. He didn’t. (Agreeing)

We talked about this on the pod re: birdwatching and I finally had a chance to watch it today. I think it’s one of my favorite things I’ve seen this year.

@djpie and @Tron You were wondering what will happen when AI is exclusively talking/learning from AI. It’s not a fun rabbit hole to go down but you’re looking for the dead internet theory.

Dead Internet theory

[Conley76]

Sounds more like this, where the AI just keeps feeding itself incorrect information until it eventually becomes totally useless

[jsauce]

Im not into bird-watching myself but if you are, this should be a fun watch for you…

I found it super interesting

Listening to the Chop Session from Thursday, and as someone obsessed with the Edmund Fitzgerald, I can’t recommend the new book “The Gales of November” from John U. Bacon enough. https://johnubacon.com/the-gales-of-november/ @djpie @Tron

I think he’d also make an incredible Trap Draw guest in the future. His books are amazing.

I have found myself getting excited about birds

I was cutting the grass earlier and this massive red tailed hawk took off from one of my trees and moved to another tree down the street.

I stopped the mower and walked over to get a better look.

@Tron come for the Edmund Fitzgerald talk but stay for the preposterous stories from Rich Rodriguez’s tenure at Michigan.

[ManufacturingTapIn]

Would you say you moved back and to the left?

[bigdessertguy]

I mean who’s to say there was just one hawk? I saw the one, but there very well could’ve been another across the street, one on the overpass, and another in the Dal-Tex building.

And the Halifax explosion!

I can’t get over this. This is incredible. They spent 12 months in a van birding mainly just for the bit? Yes, the one brother is legitimately obsessed, but the nonchalance they seem to bird with as opposed to the rest of the community is hilarious.

Tron not knowing that Gordon Lightfoot was Canadian was a tremendous weight off my shoulders. I find myself getting angry when he fires off his regular takes about Canada. Now I no longer need to worry about it because if you didn’t know Gord, one of the world’s great singer / songwriters was Canadian, then I don’t need to take your thoughts on my country seriously.

Preach it Brother

[sMORGasbord]

Funny that two of Canada’s most iconic singer/songwriters are both “Gord”
Sometimes, Corner Gas and Shoresy are documentaries.

Just getting caught up on the last Trap Draw. @Tron , yes, that’s exactly what us bird watchers do: we look for new species.

Download the eBird app, and jump on in. Next thing you know, you’re buying a camera and lens which is potentially more expensive than golf.

Catching up on past pods and didn’t have TC shouting out the new world screw worm on the show. That’s a bad bad fly. No good.
