it turns out that “optimize for engagement” and “optimize for societal best outcomes” are opposing goals and if you look at the entire history of the tech industry you can see which of those two wins out

It turns out a 🍆 harvest is too rude for bluesky censors. However have no fear here are two naked people jousting on giant snails instead.
We are looking at a medieval illustration of two figures sat on top of large snails. They are holding large banners and appear to be jousting.

I'm dying laughing at how the cat has conformed to her flower shaped bed today
A white cat is sleeping curled up in a med that has five fluffy white lobes of a flower petal, the cat has half her face peeking upwards and otherwise has filled the pentagonal space in the center of the bed completely

Ah yes, perhaps the most beloved literary trope of all: the classic McMuffin
A screenshot that reads: Moore throws in a Hitchcock-style McMuffin in the shape of a secret tape recording which will reveal just who has been betraying the gangsters.
The problem is that no-one has a machine on which to play it.

The weather has cooled down to the traditional Finnish standard (along with rain). It was a cool and cloudy summer back in 2021 Lapland when I painted these landscapes. Available via the Finnish online art market Taiko.art en.taiko.art/petrakaminen... #art #painting
A vertical composition of a lake landscape painted in oil paint on canvas. The horizon is set high in the composition and is a mix of dark, almost black, shadows and sunlit sap green forest on the far shoreline. The sky is blue and full of white clouds. The water’s surface is calm and reflects the overhead clouds. In the foreground the water is speckled with white refections and you can see hints of brown and ochre rocks under the surface.A vertical composition of a lake landscape painted in oil paint on canvas.

The horizon is set high in the composition and is filled with an amorphous line of sun-lit, forested shoreline. The sky is a wispy blue. The water’s surface is flat and white near the far shore and then rippled in the centre of the image, reflecting the far shore and blue sky. In the foreground the water is mostly clear and shows the brown and ochre rocks under the surface in a loose abstract collection of brush strokes.

Women ‘more likely to be told autoimmune conditions are psychological’

Hundreds of millions of people – about one in 10 globally – are affected by autoimmune conditions, which can cause a range of health issues including fatigue, muscle pain and rashes.

There are many ways in which every billionaire is a policy failure, but the most corrosive and destructive way in which billionaires are policy failures is this: billionaires, despite being unelected and unaccountable, possess the power to control - and ruin - millions of peoples' lives.
