@aram That's really odd. Maybe it's only included in some subscriptions and not others?

Online shopping is such a hot mess. Take Amazon: the price of a product I'm looking for varies by more than *25%* betw. Amazon.nl & Amazon.fr (and every shades of grey in other countries). Same product exactly, same brand and reference. It makes every […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

“The contemporary proliferation of bullshit also has deeper sources, in various forms of skepticism which deny that we can have any reliable access to an objective reality, and which therefore reject the possibility of knowing how things truly are. These […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A small red book with a short title: "ON BULLSHIT" by Harry Princeton University moral philosophy professor Harry G. Frankfurt. The cover indicates "ANNIVERSARY EDITION" showing that it is a re-print, in 2025, of a book first published in 2005.

Stunning: This morning's front pages of the British press display utterly contrasting framing: FT and Guardian use a photo framing Channel crossing migrants as desperate victims narrowly escaping horrific death, while The Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

The front page of the Daily Telegraph shows refugees in a way that makes them look like invaders beach-landing, while the front page of the Financial Times shows a picture of refugees being rescued from the water.

Franch umbrella. “What do you say?” (By Kroll, for Le Soir.) #cartoon #EUpolitics #ukraine

A cartoon shows heads of States of the EU gathered in front the European Commission building for a group photo. French president Macron holds a gigantic umbrella covering the whole group. The umbrella displays a large “France” sign and two nuclear logos. In the foreground, a folded “USA” umbrella. Macron asks “What do you say?”

@dangillmor In Europe (and I assume the rest of the world?), they haven't yet gone all the way: it's now “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America).” #MAGoogle

A screenshot of a GoogleMap shows the Gulf of Mexico is now labelled “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)” when browsed from outside the US.

Editorial and political cartoonists are the canaries in the mine of democracies. An award-winning, experienced, respected, and ultra-talented cartoonist like Ann Telnaes is censored at the Washington Post due to political pressure. “Democracy dies in […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

An unfinished version of the Cartoon that the Washington Post refused to publish, showing Mark Zuckerberg (of Facebook & Meta), Sam Altman (of OpenAI), Patrick Soon-Shiong (owner of the LA Times), Mickey Mouse (representing the Walt Disney Company and ABC News), and Jeff Bezos (owner of the Washington Post and Amazon) bowing to and kneeling before a giant statue of a Trump-like figure.

Changing times, changing groove, even for the most austere institutions (case in point: L'Opéra de Paris). #eBike #Opera #GreenMobility

A tall sign is positioned in the main lobby of Palais Garnier (Opéra de Paris). It reads: “Déposez votre batterie de vélo dans cette armoire” which could be translated as “Store your bike battery in this cabinet.” Behind the sign, the said cabinet can be seen underneath a picture of a dancer.

The latest AI gadget offering to answer questions based on the archives of the Washington Post appears to use also opinion pieces. When asked about Bezos possibly interfering with editorial independence, it found 27,600 relevant results and used 5 to produce […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A screenshot shows the answer provided by “As The Post AI” to the question “Is Jeff Bezos interfering with the editorial independance of the Washington Post?”
The answer reads: “Jeff Bezos has stated that he will not interfere with the editorial independence of The Washington Post, and has expressed his commitment to maintaining the quality, ethics, and standards of the newspaper. In an email to senior editors, Bezos wrote, "The journalistic standards and ethics at The Post will not change." However, some have raised concerns about Bezos's influence on the newspaper, particularly after the decision to end presidential endorsements was made.”
