I have *been* saying that medieval style antisemitism has a major foothold in the left and the best thing allies can do is be aware of the dog whistles so you know when someone is gone off on one

Neuroscientist here. I have studied the brain for 40 years. I make serious use of machine learning and AI in my research. Sam Altman is full of shit. These machines are not conscious, any more than a movie of a train coming out of the screen is a train. AI does remarkable things but isn’t real.

No way I can compete with the major poetry publishers who get collections stocked by bricks-and-mortar bookshops But I do have word of mouth and all you wonderful people here on Bluesky, pushing the numbers of readers of Whatever You Do, Just Don't far beyond the sales of the big boys. Thank you!

Today’s favourite #warart Dazzle-ships in Drydock at Liverpool, by Edward Wadsworth, 1919 Craig Moore on Facebook @dreadships.bsky.social #navalhistory #maritimehistory

Four dock workers cleaning the hull of a merchant ship in dry dock. The ship is wearing dazzle camouflage, and the painting has arranged the sides of the dock and other ships wearing dazzle in the back in such a way as to blend the picture creating some serious eye strain.

Yorkshire vineyards experiment with merlot as climate changes

Northern wineries can now support grapes more often found in southern Europe and California.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

INTRODUCTION

The equities here could not be more one-sided. Defendants admit that they
provide a service without fully knowing how it works.

This is not just any service. It is one that Defendants themselves concede poses an existential risk to the continued
survival of humankind.

Defendants claim they cannot stop barreling forward with their potentially civilization-ending endeavors unless they are forced to do so by the
government. They have asked the government to tie them to the mast.

Plaintiff brings good news to the Defendants: The Florida Attorney General is answering your
cry for help with a motion to enjoin you from harming Floridians with your reckless, unacceptably risky product.
