If a country halted co-operation with the international community on sharing counter-terrorism intelligence, while simultaneously reducing its own capabilities in domestic counter-terrorism, this would patently be a national security risk. The same is true of biological security.

It's #MementoMoriMonday! Here's a silver watch in the form of a human skull, c. 1660. The watch is inscribed with: vita fugitur (life is fleeting), aesterna respice (look down upon a fallen thing), caduca despice (look upon eternity), incertita hora (death/hour is uncertain)
A silver skull with engravings on the top. The top of the skull is open to reveal a clock inside.

I read two essays on how AR devices will reshape user interfaces. Both argue traditional PC and smartphone UIs need rethinking, with generative AI playing a key role. I believe Voice-based UIs combined with device’s ability to “see” what you see could be as game-changing as GPS was for the iPhone.

I'm really not one to moan about the patriarchy, but a male journalist friend has now been paid $1/word TWICE to write about a family recipe I made for him, by outlets that used to pay *me* to write for them.... 🙄 #hirewomen

The last 12 words. I think in poetry and music so here is the sentiment contained in those words, set to music by the incomparable APP. youtu.be/kyDw_zbOZOk

More folks need to read Isabel Wilkerson's doorstopper of a book "Caste" to see the thread through slavery, Nazism and Brahminical/ UC thinking connected elegantly (the writing).

In September alone, there were more than 32mn visits globally to ‘nudify’ or ‘undressing’ sites. Activists hope that legislation could force Big Tech platforms to make it harder to access, advertise and monetise these products on.ft.com/4g5qY3I

Regulators want information as EC President joins BlueSky. That the FT is providing context with the headline they are using is fascinating in itself.
The picture is a screenshot from the Financial Times and the headline says EU says Bluesky breaching rules on disclosure of information; the news goes on to say platforms operating in the EU must disclose their EU based user numbers as well as where the platforms are legally established. At the bottom of the image is another image of a news headline - Meta loses ground to BlueSky as users abandon Elon Musk's X.

The post is just a screenshot of the empty screen on Bluesky that shows a 2-leafer with the words no posts yet underneath.
