  1. It's #FathersDay!

    ‘"Nursing Fathers": A Humorous Commentary,’ The Sphere, April 1927. It depicts good king penguin and seahorse dads. The seahorse fry are being eaten by a jellyfish, though. Not sure what's humorous about that, but it's nice that male parenting in nature was celebrated in 1927 - we could do with more of that today. 🌈🐧

  7. Happy Easter to all who celebrate! 🌱

    No cute lambs or bunnies in my files, I'm afraid. I do, however, have a *lot* of queer chickens. This is Hector, a 'hen-cock' pictured in the Sporting Magazine in March 1833 and mentioned by Charles Darwin in his 1868 book The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication!

  15. Wishing everyone a nice, relaxing weekend!✨

    I've been writing about frog sex this week, so here's a lovely plate from German painter and naturalist August Johann Rösel von Rosenhof's sumptuous Historia naturalis ranarum nostratium ('The Natural History of Our Frogs,' 1758). 🐸 🐸

  21. Karpf contrasts the claims for A.I. transformation (that it is a "general purpose technology") with the truly transformative effects of the #SteamEngine and #electricity. The history of these technologies is powerful evidence that the context produces these transformations as much as the technology. In understanding how LLMs might be transformative, we need to understand not only the agents boosting them, but the powers putting them to use.

  32. Today I'm writing about how sex selection emerged as one of the leading promises of 20th-c. biologists/eugenicists as they got to grips with sexological genetics. 😬
