I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

Eigentlich sollen bis 2026 kleine und mittlere Bahnhöfe #barrierefrei und moderner werden. Aktuell ist jedoch noch jeder fünfte Bahnhof nicht barrierefrei. Nach Kritik des Bundesrechnungshofes am #Verkehrsministerium soll eine Reform der #Förderprogramme das jetzt ändern.

falls jemand einen auffrischungskurs braucht: ich habe letztens genau beleuchtet, was palantir behauptet zu leisten, was es wahrscheinlich wirklich leistet und welche menschen dahinter stecken. www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/kriminalitae...

ganz ehrlich nichtmal die bräuchte es? palantir gehört zu den wenigen überwachungstechnologien, die selbst außerhalb von fachmedien rauf und runter diskutiert werden. ich halte unwissen an dieser stelle für unglaubwürdig.

I don't know how many times "technocrats openly talk about their desire for an ignorant and compliant serf class they can use and dispose of on a whim" needs be stated before people put two and two together

Hey, everyone who is calling Mastercard and Visa about the age verification BS. I think you should start aiming at YouTube as well.

The attack on US academia is ideological and destructive, yes. They’re not trying to improve higher ed, reform it, or do any of their flimsy excuses (uphold free speech on campus, combat antisemitism, etc). They’re trying to break it to satisfy a mix of cultural, political, and personal grievances.

Someone on here compared AI produced material as "digital asbestos " which in a few decades' time we will have to work out how to eradicate from the fabric of research.

⚠️BATCH DOWNLOAD YOUR GOOGLE DRIVE NOW⚠️ 👉 takeout.google.com/manage I did this last night, and literally this morning a friend who writes fic has had her whole account restricted, and when I try to access writing that I've edited/collaborated on, this is what I get:

OK- here we go. Sorry for the delay, I was not prepared for the exertion required in the thrill-a-minute adventure that is… CACAO FERMENTATION. Yes, this will actually take 5 days. After that two days of drying. I’m not making this up. Nothing happens. Really. You’ll see. Anyway, off we go!

Amazing video—though it took me a while to find its actual source. It's republished from a video on Instagram that this person linked to—but the Instagram account stole it from the actual creator on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@jonas_sjv/v... And naturally, the original creator's account/name got erased.

I’m re-reading Sagan’s PALE BLUE DOT and I’m at the chapter where he talks about how he had to convince NASA to take the image. There was no scientific value in taking an image of Earth from that distance, but he knew such an image would be invaluable to us as a society.

Do you ever just get sad about how many people have fully embraced anti-intellectualism?

Israel hat mehrere Ziele im Iran angegriffen. Der Militärschlag richtet sich demnach gegen die Atomanlagen des Landes. Aufnahmen zeigen aber auch Rauch über Wohngebieten.

Not "preemptive." Illegal. There is no evidence of an actual or imminent armed attack by Iran. This is a blatant violation of the UN Charter. It has no legal basis in the right of self-defense. Now we wait to see how many civilians will die because of this insanity.
