wild about fuel prices rising like that. if only we'd all decided a decade ago to try and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. like a set of agreements. perhaps made in paris. pity we didn't do that.

THE SECRET AGENT had a profound emotional effect on me. I think my thematic take away may be different from what most people will get out of it but I think it is what the whole movie is imbued with.

It's genuinely shocking how quickly (some) scientists have flipped to using ai to do their literature reviews. We KNOW it's a disaster - this fairly extreme example is one of many. I'm not shocked that the journals let this stuff slip thru tho - they care only aboutπŸ’²

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, β€œI do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

The rise of rejection sensitive dysphoria: β€˜My chest feels like it’s collapsing’ It makes rejection, teasing or criticism feel unbearable, often prompting a strong physical reaction. Sufferers describe life with a condition that is only just starting to be understood

Incredible how much they selectively ignore their standards and practices when it’s time to pick on trans people. And as much as Singal sucks, it’s the mid- and senior-level editors at the Times who keep platforming anti-trans voices.

a digital collage with a pink, purple, green, yellow, and teal gradient overlaid on all the images. the images include a horse carrying a bucket, a cluster of mushrooms, a grub, a birds talon, a cicada, five spiders, two flower buds, a hand with an eye over the back of it, and a microscope slide of atoms. there is white text that reads "get weirder or die miserable." the background is black and there is a slightly grainy texture
