In not a big fan of religion for various reasons (stout atheist is one point) but this pope at least does some stuff right, so I would appreciate it if we not have to white smoke so soon again.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

You just keep seeing study after study say that businesses that implement AI procedures see no benefit in productivity, and the people selling it, which becomes a larger and larger group every day, just keep insisting they do. Because it FEELS like they're doing more.

Es droht die Wahl eines rechtsextremen Ministerpräsidenten. Im DLF Interview geht es stattdessen um Enteignungen, Neukölln und Wahlpartys. Der ÖRR versagt seit Jahren in seiner Verantwortung für die Demokratie. Kritik perlt ab. Kein Diskurs, keine Reflexion. Einfach weiter so. Bis zur Abschaffung.

Science fiction authors designing aliens need to aspire to at least the level of weirdness of a real bucket orchid. Coryanthes macrantha in my greenhouse this morning. Flower is approx 15 cm wide, 10 cm tall. 🌴🌱

A bucket orchid in shades of orange and yellow. The bucket is formed from the distal end of the labellum and the column. Glands drip liquid into the bucket. Bees falling into the bucket can only escape through a hole at one side where they will be forced into contact with the pollen and stigma at the end of the column. The hole is pretty large, so the bees must be equally big. The sepals look like big wings made of tissue paper that counterbalance the bucket. The base of the labellum where it connects to the rest of the flower looks like a weirdly ridged orange alien penis.

How men feared women! she thought, walking among the late-flowering roses. Not as individuals, but women when they talked together, worked together, spoke up for one another - then men saw plots, cabals, constraints, traps being laid.

Diese Massenpsychose, die gerade die deutsche Medienlandschaft bezüglich des Siegs der Linken in Berlin ereilt erinnert stark an New York und den Versuch Mamdani zu verhindern. Er ist jetzt übrigens nach ein paar Monaten der beliebteste Bürgermeister seit langem.

saw this on Instagram and it so perfectly encapsulated my rage

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made

Anlass ist Fall Gunkl in Ö. Aber es fällt auch sonst auf: Männern muss gesellschaftlich geholfen werden, damit sie keine Täter werden. Frauen müssen sich selbst drum kümmern, dass sie keine Opfer werden. Das ist nicht okay.

Deutsche bauen solche Fußgängerzonen, ohne Bäume & Pflanzen, ohne Tische und Bänke, ohne jeglichen Charme, mit den immer immer gleichen seelenlosen Ketten und wundern sich dann warum unsere Innenstädte veröden, nur um dann zum Ergebnis zu kommen, dass das natürlich an der Verkehrswende liegen würde.

Your occasional reminder that performative sneering at whole genres of fiction is not a sign of intelligence, nor is performative misery a sign of superior talent. Read what brings you joy. No-one else gets to decide or to control what that means to you.

Vaccines really are amazing scientific accomplishments. The shingles vaccines reduces risk of heart disease. The HPV vaccine has made cervical cancer virtually obsolete. We’re close to an mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer. Science for the win! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Does the shingles vaccine cut heart-disease risk? Mounting evidence suggests a link

Large study finds that people who received the ‘recombinant’ vaccine for the viral condition had a lower risk of cardiovascular problems.

Die Mamdanis dieser Welt stellen sich ja auch nicht hin und sagen „Wir haben hier Spaß, seht ihr das? Wenn ihr hier mitmachtet, dann müsst/dürft ihr Spaß haben“ Sie machen einfach und das Gefühl kommt, weil man Gründe dafür gibt. Man kann sowas nicht per Pressekonferenz anordnen.

One of my favourite Dolly Parton stories. Chatting to one of her employees one day, she asked why he’d decided to work at Dollywood. To fund his education, he said. She immediately paid 100% of his college fees & then offered the same deal to all 11,000 employees. www.upworthy.com/dollywood-co...

They could just be helping people and every day they choose not to help people. They choose to harm. And when they die, we’ll dance and laugh and be thankful they’re gone.
