A running theme of Trump II is cautious, level-headed, mainstream, career professional experts sounding existential alarms about how we aren't panicking nearly enough.

There is something unbearably painful in the realization that this is the insurpassable distillation of all current political analysis of the present historical situation.

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics

Retraction Watch has covered the problem of the “national IQ” database. Should be noted I’m far from alone in working to remove these publications. The spreadsheet of pubs which use NIQ - linked to in the article - was started by @kohngregory.bsky.social; a project also worked on by Cathryn Townsend

Vacina de HPV deveria ser obrigatória pra matrícula na escola, ponto.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

Imagine not only spending your time doing this, but also feeling an irresistible urge to *send it to a journalist*.

He wasn’t even asked

. . . He admits to this?

Oh come the fuck on

“It is not acceptable to recruit a variety of students into the laboratory, subject them to a variety of stress tests and abuses, and then keep the students who thrive under abuse and get rid of the students who aren't able to thrive in the lab. That's straight-up exploitation.” 👏👏👏

when we say we want more streets to be pedestrianized, this is what we mean

Vou contar a fofoca do serviço pra vocês passarem raiva junto comigo: - um sheik muito rico comprou as ararinhas para seu zoológico particular - esse cara cansou dos pássaros - uma ong resolveu repatriar - a gente já sabia que as aves estavam doentes - a ong repatriou mesmo assim e queria soltar

Exactly. Just copying two research topics from the website will not cut it. Even worse if applicants additionally want to benefit from my "exquisite leadership" at our "eminent institution". It is best to write like a real person with real interests. We are recruiting people, not LLMs, to our labs.

Students applying for grad school, or reaching out to professors. I have an important piece of advice for you: STOP DOING THIS 👇 (a thread) #STEM #PhD #gradschool #academictips

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Cara, que LOUCURA! A BOSTA do governo BOLSONARO rifou os cuidados da ARARINHA AZUL, entregou pra uma ONG ALEMÃ e agora todas estão infectadas com um vírus mortal que NÃO EXISTIA NO BRASIL! A DESGRAÇA DO GOVERNO DE DIREITA AINDA FAZ ESTRAGOS! sem-paywall.com/api/clean/ht...

100% when Trump said that he had spoken to Bolsonaro "just last night" that was just, he's senile, folks, he doesn't know who you're talking about and he's just grasping for a generic "oh yeah we've been talking" sort of response, there was no escape plan, Trump doesn't remember who Bolsonaro is.

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

George Oates, founding executive director of @flickrfdn.bsky.social, is leading the effort to preserve Flickr's history for the next century. @rabble.nz, creator of diVine, reflects on how much culture disappeared when Vine shut down with no archive to protect it. Full episode out now.

Por curiosidade, visitei os perfis de diversos humoristas "politicamente incorretos" e não vi nenhuma piada sobre a prisão do Bolsonaro. Parece que hoje eles finalmente encontraram o limite do humor.

"aggressive accounting" is a fun euphemism

On the one hand, you can't judge a book by its cover. On the other hand, if you form a mental picture of "former Venmo CEO who's turned Pinterest into an AI slop bucket that's alienating users" and then see the photo of the actual guy, you will go, yep, that's him.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

O 8 DE OUROS É ELE TENTANDO QUEBRAR A TORNOZELEIRA

Completely indestructible. Other parents can’t believe we hand their kids glasses made of glass. Stoked they’re now employee-owned. A wonderful housewarming gift. They didn’t even pay me to write this. They don’t know I exist. Notice me, Duralex-senpai

Pior que a escolha da policial com tom de tia da creche que pegou a criança que derreteu um negócio brincando com fogo foi acertada demais. Parabéns pro departamento de casting da Polícia Federal.

Agora é beber até a tornozeleira conversar comigo.

Trump: Foda, man

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Calma que tem mais...

Get ready, folks: Brazilian BlueSky's gonna be LIT today.

Na Globonews "Vamos para a sede da polícia federal" *Gritos de AEEEE UHUUUU de pessoas na porta da PF enquanto repórter olha para a câmera e aguarda deixa para falar* Eu quase engasguei com o café da manhã, tendo crise de riso

me you

for days we got the "Showdown with Socialism" buildup only to get the payoff of Trump essentially saying "wow this socialist guy fuckin rules. I, on the other hand, am a fascist". what a country. what an era bsky.app/profile/self...

once again joining the many people who have observed how much of a world-historical problem it is that Trump is so fucking funny

Most exciting study have seen for ages, and Fernando the most excited speaker. Much anticipated. Highly recommended, a lot of food for thought (and quite a dense paper - lots to think about)

Hot off the press! Our latest paper led by @fernpizza.bsky.social, understanding how plasmids evolve inside cells.
