En Villa Allende, Córdoba, #Argentina, un quebracho blanco de 300 años fue mutilado y "trasladado" para garantizar la traza de cemento de una ruta.

Matan a un abuelo más viejo que la Nación misma.
Cemento y dinero, los pilares del ecocidio que nos está dejando sin planeta.

Enigmatic ‘dragon man’ was not a new human species, but a Denisovan DNA and protein analysis of a 146,000-year-old skull shows for the first time what the face of this species, which occupied much of Asia and left its genes in modern humans, was like

Well of course Harbin can be a Denisovan AND belong to a new human species... english.elpais.com/science-tech...

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Soviet era space junk represents the interplanetary Cold War – Australian Academy of the Humanities Soviet space junk provides unique insight into Cold War space race, according to space archaeologist Alice Gorman FAHA.

'While Kosmos 482 fell through fire to the cool greens and blues of Earthside, there were sixteen siblings cooking in the carbon dioxide oven of Venus’ surface, forgotten and forlorn.'

The 'space archaeologists' hoping to save our cosmic history The infrastructure of humanity's journey into space may only be decades old, but some of it has already been lost. Now, "space archaeologists" are scrambling to save what's left.

El gobierno publicó que "en función del ahorro presupuestario generado por la reducción de dotación de personal" es decir, por los despidos de los estatales van a subirle el sueldo "a las autoridades superiores".

An excerpt of my piece for Art in America: 
At some point, every person needs to accept that they cannot claim impartiality or universal expertise: I cannot tell if a bridge is safe to drive over or determine whether my lettuce contains E. coli. So I value agencies and organizations that employ experts who can. The same goes for the sources of information I consume, including those that provide images illustrating current events, who should be responsible for doing the provenance research outlined here. That's as far as my own provenance research can go.
One model for alleviating the paranoia may be as simple as supporting news agencies and image archives that employ professionals to authenticate the images they reproduce. The Associated Press has now shown this can be done.
If this seems impractical, I have to ask: what's more impractical, strengthening journalistic integrity, or requiring that all consumers of news become their own digital forensics experts?

Last spring I was asked to write a piece with tips on how to suss out AI-generated images. I countered that that premise weakens democracy by promoting the idea that everyone can claim expertise regardless of their credentials, a key tenet of anti-democratic technoutopianism. What strikes me now…1/n

‘Make Argentina Gay Again’: Argentines hold anti-fascist pride march - Buenos Aires Herald The queer community’s call to march against Javier Milei’s Davos speech received international support

For my English speaking followers, this is what’s happening in Argentina after a year of far right government, massive response to President Milei’s Davis speech coming aggressively against the LGTBQI+ community & women. The most amazing march yesterday 🌈

Aparte del aspecto racista y anti-indígena de las narrativas pseudoarqueológicas, su aceptación, aunque sea como divertimento, implica un relajamiento del razonamiento crítico que se lleva a todos lados, incluidas las urnas.

Sí. Hace un par de décadas, con internet, muchas de estas cosas que eran dispersas cobraron masa crítica y se hicieron muy visibles y publicitadas.
