Yeah, but remember it’s mostly for salmon and other migratory fish, so they know about when the season is going to start. Since they’re fish caught for food and a major part of the ecosystem, I’m sure people are keeping close watch.
I did like the comment on Twitter about bears learning to station themselves at the ends of the tubes, though.
Not a wikipedia but the article is interesting, and I dont know where else to post it:

It’s funny how Heart of Darkness managed to convey the fluid and exotic deep past of Britain from when it was on the frontier of a great empire, as well as the greedy, murdering nationalism that was consuming that country at the time.
maybe better for another thread, but did you have any specific examples in mind? ( i kind of agree with you, just curious which your pet peeves are )
it’s been so interesting to me to learn who was behind some key techniques and algorithms.( so many women were involved with cg in the early days.)
i learned all my computer programming by breaking into college libraries instead of… say… actually at a college - so my experience might differ. but for a whole bunch of stuff - people act as if software algorithms come from the aether.
i think maybe that leads to people feeling they can easily reinvent the wheel, when actually there was a lot of thought behind some seemingly unimportant decisions

I have to admit, I’d seen some lovely interiors made from shipping containers, and was really into it until I considered the ceiling height limit.

When I was a kid, our Mom read all the Oz books to us. The first time she read The Wizard of Oz, I was maybe 5 or 6. When she got to the part with the Wizard taking off without Dorothy, I was inconsolable, absolutely hysterical with worry. I was super emotionally attached to the outcome. She had to finish the rest of book that night, just so I would go to sleep.
Ooof.
That’s quite a bit of book to get through, especially compared to how the movies go.
Indeed, my Ma is a very kind woman.
Best use of Twitter, ever:
It does seem a good medium for CYOA stories. My only suggestion for improvement is that, as it is, most of the “bad ending” branches don’t go very deep.

Me too but worse. I had to look it up.
That is a super-interesting take on it and an angle I hadn’t considered before!
You may enjoy (or hate) the Gregory Maguire “The Wicked Years” series, which is set in Oz, starting with Wicked (became a famous broadway musical). They’re not intended as children’s books though.
The novel is a political, social, and ethical commentary on the nature of good and evil and takes place in the Land of Oz, in the years leading to Dorothy’s arrival. The story centers on Elphaba, the misunderstood green-skinned girl who grows up to become the notorious Wicked Witch of the West.
