Ikarus 692 Airport Bus -- basically a bus with a front end that elevates to become an enclosed staircase to the plane

Ikarus 695, i think

Ikarus 695, i think

unsure what the model number is, but the entire front of the bus opens up and a staircase extends out of it.

just learned about these (prototype?) airport buses from the 80s, i believe all from the Serbian (then Yugoslavian) company Ikarus

AI chatbots helped β€˜teens’ plan shootings, bombings, and political violence, study shows Only Claude reliably shut down would-be attackers.

It's always "AI chatbots want to help you kill yourself" & "AI chatbots wants to help your teen plan a school shooting" & never "AI chatbots are steering you toward renouncing worldly temptations to live as a bee-raising member of a religious order."

a few years ago I asked for a non-mRNA covid vaccine at target (via an option I selected on THEIR WEBSITE), and the pharmacist in the store told me a non-mRNA vaccine didn’t exist. it did, it does, it’s novavax, and I’d had it several times by then. even professionals are not super informed anymore.

realizing that the Christian kids were just as cliquey and exclusionary as all the other kids my age were, therefore being part of organized religion didn’t mean someone was a good person or would even necessarily try to be.

also I heard some Led Zeppelin and I was like hey this slaps

Of course you shouldn’t believe the Pixar jerk that they keep cutting queerness out of their movies for fear of forcing family conversations or whatever.

This is Disney. It’s money. It’s fear of losing money from weird bigot adults, with queer people perceived as not enough a market gain for them.

How Pixar’s Open Sexism Ruined My Dream Job (Guest Column) A former Pixar employee writes that after John Lasseter's departure, the company still has a lot of work to do to fix its sexist culture.

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

like sorry but any kind of new firefly thing has three main problems

one - joss whedon is a super creep

two - adam baldwin helped start gamergate

three - the core premise of firefly is racist and at some point you have to address that they didn't even like add any chinese characters for the movie

A screenshot of the accessibility tab in my Bluesky settings, showing the alt text toggled on "require alt text before posting"

Btw alt text is also a fun place to shamelessly editorialize on your post and there ain't no character limit. Go ahead and share the Canterbury Tales here plus throw in a random Fuck or Shitass. It's a delightful pastime

Friends, please use Alt Text whenever you post images. It helps those with sight issues understand your sparkling captions & assists those of us who are hopelessly unhip in getting your references. Just toggle it in the settings for a reminder every time you share a bot mot, THANKYOUSOMUCH

Not to be THAT feminist, but I knew this was the case before opening the article. Men see fatherhood as an abstract milestone that's a proof of their virility, women see the associated costs.

Not to mention that women not being locked into domesticity is the core of the antifeminist backlash today.

Broad claims about gender and behavior fall apart when studies include ethnically diverse samples Behavioral economics relies heavily on studies of Western, educated people. A recent analysis provides evidence that ignoring racial diversity within the United States has led to flawed generalization...

"The research suggests that generalizations about human behavior are often flawed because they rely on samples composed largely of White individuals."

I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
