I've heard thousands of climate denial arguments over the last few decades. But do you know they all fall into one of 5 categories? 1. It's not real 2. It's not us 3. It's not bad 4. We can't fix it 5. You can't trust the info/experts Source: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@cdarwin isn't that the city that the Techbro Utopia is using as a stub to establish itself as an incorporated city? Seems oddly coincidental

@n_dimension @katelynburns.com well, it's not an individual choice. We collectively could have made choices that would make it feasible for you to live close enough you didn't need a car. It's a societal choice.

During the Viet Nam War, a reporter asked AJ Muste, "Do you really think you are going to change the policies of this country by standing out here alone at night in front of the White House with a candle?" Muste replied: "Oh, I don't do this to change the country. I do this so the country won't […]

ArXiv announces a ban on AI content and the responses are hilarious. > You expect us to actually read the papers we cite?! yes, lol! www.404media.co/new-arxiv-rules-ai-…

Screenshot from Thomas Dietterich on X:
"Attention @arxiv authors: Our Code of Conduct states that by signing your name as an author of a paper, each author takes full responsibility for all its contents, irrespective of how the contents were generated."

With a reply from James Miller:
"So this means you expect every author to check every citation and make sure that every citation is real and accurate? What if it's beyond the ability of one of the authors to verify one of the citations because that citation is in a language he doesn't know or concerns technical material he doesn't understand but another author on the paper does?"

It’s a broken system that made life much harder for people—as much as it enables some of us to live like kings. That’s why it took five hundred years of violence and force to make people accept it.

@suzannealdrich definitely possible. But I don't understand in that case why she doesn't serve out her term, then not run for re-election. That would give her much better media access for the next year
