French prosecutors say 10 new suspected victims have come forward in the country’s Jeffrey Epstein probe after authorities reopened trafficking and financial investigations linked to his network. Paris is now revisiting old evidence and seeking more testimony.

It seems increasingly likely that just as the US can't have a society without gun violence, it will not be able to have a society with open science. I am very sorry for them, on both accounts. But please remember most of the world is not the US, and open science is working for the rest of us.

As a heads up to EVERYONE. My partner found MAGGOTS in some *sealed* salsa and I found a dead bug inside some *sealed* chocolate. FDA is obviously not doing shit and companies are going back to the good ol' days of no oversight, so please TRIPLE CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT.

People would be getting so much free art from me if I got a universal basic income. I only charge for art cus I need money to survive. If I had the option to, I wouldn’t charge. I get so much more enjoyment out of creating something just to create, rather than expecting something in return

Writing my final essay for Conlaw, on balancing liberty and equality, I wrote of the need to push more for equality in the face of current resistance & resentment. My one good line: “Liberty without a meaningful path towards equality is the liberty of Sisyphus and his rock”

At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

There likely is nothing to be done at the moment to prepare for these possibilities (the only body of writing on the subject available in an emergency is science fiction), because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.

“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”

apple.news

A data center drained 30M gallons of water unnoticed — until residents complained about low water pressure — POLITICO

Residents in Fayetteville, Georgia, noticed low water pressure last year. The utility discovered two unaccounted-for water connections at one of the nation’s largest data center campuses.

It is VE Night, Tobermory. Cottages blaze and shimmer in the mirror of the bay. Light is necklaced everywhere… —Hugh McMillan, “Old Photograph” published in AFTER THE STORM (Smith/Doorstop Books, 2005) A #poem for #VEDay #poetry www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/old-pho...

Old Photograph
Hugh McMillan

It is VE Night, Tobermory.
Cottages blaze and shimmer in the mirror of the bay.
Light is necklaced everywhere,
on the cross-trees of destroyers,
on the hulls of every cockleshell and scalloper afloat,
even on the gutted snout of a U-Boat,
but there are shadows, to imagine
the black and frozen water
and the land, lonely of men,
from Sunart to Mers-El-Kebir.

Daisy chained by sailors, three WAAFs
pose for a photograph.
Her friends are grinning, wide-eyed,
but my mother’s smile is dying
and she’s turned away
to the sound of the waves,
as if she could sense my father,
whose war would never cease,
limping inexorably back to her
across the oil scarred sea.

This is key to why most SFF readers start in childhood, and it can be a struggle to learn how to read SFF as an adult if you didn’t start teen you still knew how to read like a kid.

In short, I want a society which treats anti-intellectualism, from the anti-humanities 'that's just book learnin' sort to the anti-vaxxers, with the sort of searing cultural contempt those choices and ideologies deserve. Because a grown-ass adult who believes that should feel shamed.
