Centrism is the belief that society achieved perfection around the same time as you became a homeowner

And if we’re acclaiming masterpieces: Charles Addams’ marvellous cover for the Halloween 1963 cover of The New Yorker. (At first glance, I took that hunter’s expression for bafflement, but now I’m pretty sure he’s terrified. As he darn well should be.)

Went for a walk to look at the changing leaves. It was good... except no one bothered to bump into me as we both drop our things in a clumsy meet-cute moment then go get hot cocoa and croissants. Please give me time to recover from this travesty.

A reprojected view of Jupiter centered near the border with the Northern Filamentary Region. This uses image data taken by NASA’s JunoCam during the Perijove 26 flyby in April 2020. I created a simulated terrain relief to provide a sense of vertical scale to the cloudtops. flic.kr/p/2jyhVD8

Canadian friends, your government is seeking commentary on GenAi strategies and policies. Please let them know exactly how you feel about GenAi, it’s impacts, and what next steps should be! Perhaps it’s respecting artists works, environmental considerations and so on! Share your thoughts here 👇

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Who could have known that using a time timer would help me organise my day despite my ADHD in the way ? (she did. my ex-psychologist did. she was awesome)

Le saviez-vous ? Un Français passe en moyenne 5 ans de sa vie à apprendre la nomination de Sébastien Lecornu.

I FUCKEN FINISHED!!! As always, it took me 2 months, but I got there in the end.

🧵 I think it would help if people stopped ‘feeling’ whether or not a person or party is/was extreme or far right. There’s actually a fairly respected definition. Let me take you through it & then you can decide if someone meets the definition. This is aimed, in particular, at journos [1]

Assez marrant que "Mediapart est-il un média militant" soit considéré comme un sujet """sérieux""" de débat public mais quand la même question se pose pour CNews (ou tout autre média tenu par Bolloré dont les positions s'affichent clairement) on est là "rooooohhhh mais nooooooon"

Deux couvertures (au moins) de romans chez un gros éditeur, réalisées par un mec qui se dit peintre car il repasse par dessus des images en IA. Le mec coche toutes les cases de mon bingo des IAbro. Ses couv sont pleines d'erreurs, et en plus pour des récits féministes...

More reasons to be anti-AI

not to make everything about myself, but I would argue this is true of science & academia. everything is so underfunded and unstable that anyone speaking up risks losing access to projects they've worked on for 10, 15, 20 years. the money people know we want to do good, and they use it against us.

What's the difference between clams 🦪 and brachiopods? At first glance, brachiopods might trick you into thinking they're clams or mussels—but don’t be fooled! Listen to this week's episode with Dr. Susan Butts to learn more: www.paleonerds.com/podcast/susa... Figure from University of Kentucky.
