I continue to be quite confused at the focus on Somali and Haitian immigrants because I never had the sense that these were particularly large immigrant demographics tbqh

Okay so Male Fantasies is a 1977 book written by Klaus Theweleit, a sociologist who grew up in post-war Germany grappling with the male culture of his parents and grandparents, essentially, and how it led to the Freikorps and eventually the Nazis.

It's not a topical comic in that I suspect I'll be posting it every few years for a long time. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/woops PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com

3-panel SMBC comic update. A man is checking news headlines on his phone, with the first stating "president raises tariffs; deports workers; starts war." The man says "woops," still looking down at his phone. The final panel shows a scene from earlier, where the man is wishing on a monkey's paw: "Monkey's Paw, I wish people cared about basic economics." One of the fingers on the paw curls ominously.

Sorry, but has anyone heard about Verbitsky getting fired from IMPA on August 26th over his blog posts? I'm pretty surprised at how much this flew under the radar, especially given how much publicity his arrest garnered only a few months before

IMPA everything
Well, ok, since everyone has already written,
I will just send the information, without any ratings
(like, friends asked not to report anything from themselves yet)

I was kicked out of work for bad posts in the blog,
some well-wisher collected 46 posts starting from the 2000s, provided
them with explanations, author's translation and automatic translation into
English and Portuguese, and hello. I did not see the letter itself, I
do not know who the author is.

Cancer researcher here. I am very, very tired of "this machine will cure cancer" claims. It's used as a way to shut down discussion, because who doesn't want to cure cancer? But they can't deliver a cure for cancer. They might as well be promising a magical genie to grant your wishes.

It hit me that the main incentive the AI CEOs have for curing cancer is that then they finally have a good riposte for people hating on them forcing garbage AI features into everything

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

Many have noted Trump's curious tendency to choose "two weeks" for every timeframe he's asked about I happen to personally know a narcissist who likewise always defaulted to "two weeks" for every timeframe Is this a broader narcissistic pattern or just a coincidence?
