Is that due to cached data? I was having a severe memory problem on my iPad recently, so I deleted Twitter, Bluesky, Facebook, Strava, and Dropbox (there’s no way on an iPad to delete data only) and then reinstalled the apps and memory usage dropped dramatically.

Reminder to all those who quote the Bible about “man and woman he created them” to justify their anti-transgender beliefs (& policies!) that the same Bible says adulterers (Donald Trump, for one!) shall be put to death. Are you ready for that?

Even in this NYT article about the AI “Arms Race”, the phrase is just used as a metaphor, with only one passing reference to the military uses of AI. That AI was used to level Gaza, and to kill 186 children and teachers at a school in Iran, doesn’t rate a mention.

Watching “South Pacific” on TV this morning. So many good songs, and this isn’t one of them great songs per se, but definitely the most important one, and just as relevant today as it was in 1958 — “You’ve got to be carefully taught [to fear and hate]”. youtu.be/VPf6ITsjsgk?...

Tinsley almost gets it right. Trump’s ridiculous memes do represent a complete waste of energy, but they aren’t being used to troll his opponents. They’re actually being generated by his sycophantic assistants to feed his insatiable ego.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

On September 21, 1976, former Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier and his IPS colleague Ronni Moffitt were killed in a DC car bombing, later tied directly to Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. 50 years later, the atrocity and its impacts are very present-day concerns. fair.org/home/sarah-a...

This picture was from Little Rock, AK, 1957. Every time I see this picture I think about how these taught their children, and they taught their children. Some of them became better people, but too many of them didn’t. You’ve got to be carefully taught…or egged on by cynical politicians. 😡

Pay attention to all the political talk and proposed laws regulating AI. Not one of them talks about the real threat of AI — autonomous killing devices (drones, soldiers). And of course that’s not really an AI threat. It’s a threat from the usual source — imperialism.
