🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠
The Black Marlin, compared to the Blue Marlin (or striped marlin), black marlins are more solid than their blue counterparts. They have a shorter bill and a rounder and lower dorsal fin. Black marlin may be distinguished from all other marlin species by their rigid pectoral fins, which are unable to be pressed flat against their sides but can be tilted further backwards for reduced drag. They travels at speeds of around 20 to 30 miles per hour with the ability to move faster in short bursts, making them one of the fastest fish in the ocean.

the kids' online safety act
i've gotten a few messages recently asking me to talk about the kids' online safety act, or KOSA, and because i have sort of a platform, i think it's important i use it to try to do some good
first of all, don't let its name fool you.
i'm no expert on the whole thing, but this video here has a very good explanation of it. long story short, this act could threaten minority groups such as black, brown, queer, and others, as well as affect the ability to organize online, among other things.
now, i don't need to tell you, but this is bad.
furthermore, the anonymity the internet provides will be killed, because people will need to prove their age by uploading their government ids.
everything. will. be. watched.
here's a link to a change.org petition to stop it.
we need to fight this.

🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠
The Blue Marlin is placed in the genus Makaira. This name is derived from the Greek word machaira, meaning "a short sword or bent dagger", and the Latin machaera, "sword". Once blue marlin reach maturity, they have few predators, with the most important being killer whales and large pelagic sharks, such as the shortfin mako and great white shark.

Bill getting Ford a rare book for valentine's day.
There's maybe 5 known copies left and it's a reputable source of occult information that Ford has wanted to read for years and he wakes up on valentine's to this absurdly rare and valuable book sitting beside his bed.
Bill doesn't mention it. Doesn't give the slightest indication that it was from him.
(But he does smile internally when he sees Ford so engrossed in the book that he doesn't even react when he gets called for lunch.)
