Timeless humour! A 2,000 year-old Roman souvenir pen with a joke inscription roughly equivalent to: “I went to Rome and all I got you was this cheap pen!" 😂 Dated circa 70 AD, this iron stylus pen was recovered in London during excavations by MOLA. 📷 Juan Jose Fuldain/MOLA #Archaeology

The Color Game. “Humans can’t reliably recall colors. This is a simple game to see how good (or bad) you are at it. We’ll show you five colors, then you’ll try and recreate them.” I scored 39/50 but got a perfect score on one color. [dialed.gg]

Unha nova que está a dar moito que falar no meu gremio pero que creo que saiu pouco na prensa máis xeneral é a do axente de IA que fixo escarnio público dun desenvolvedor de código aberto elchapuzasinformatico.com/2026/02/agen...

insane to be reporting this stuff with a straight face. like what are we doing here man

The FDA has refused to accept an application from Moderna to review its first mRNA seasonal flu vaccine, the company said, in another setback for the technology that’s been a target of some Trump administration health officials. https://cnn.it/4kt8iyn

All going well on the PDS side of @eurosky.social accounts. We're going slow mainly because folks are having some hiccups with the migration process and our support capacity is limited. Once the migration tool @seabass.bsky.social is working on is ready, we'll go full steam.

it's like our entire sense of morality has been filtered through the act of consumption, and the highest good we can imagine is feeling good and clean and pure as individuals, unpolluted by the obvious evil are around us meanwhile, real change requires the kind of work you need a drink after

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import

I may do a thread at some point, but fast fashion is not the same as cheap clothing. Fast fashion is necessarily cheap, but not all cheap clothing is fast fashion. Fast fashion is best understood as a specific form of production in the history of garment production. Will try to do a thread later.

Sprouts have been modified over the past 30 years - if you remember hating them as a kid but liking them now, it’s probable that they changed, not you. See www.iowafarmbureau.com/Article/Its-...

No meu pueblo dicimos "este non chega á Festa do Marisco" and I think that's beautiful.

Como puxen na mensaxe anterior, agora estou en @eurosky.social. Que significa isto? Ainda que superficialmente Bluesky parece similar a Twitter / X, internamente usa un protocolo distinto chamado ATproto que está pensado para ser descentralizado.

Greetings from @eurosky.social ! I just moved my data from the Bluesky servers. My data is now hosted in the European Union by the @modalfoundation.eurosky.social

Microsoft stock tanked -12% after revealing 45% of Azure’s backlog is OpenAI. Meanwhile, Oracle is struggling to secure loans for its $300M AI deal, risking layoffs to pay for it. The theme is clear that bankers don’t trust OpenAI’s solvency, and it’s dragging down every partner attached to it.

Big moment for Europe: in December, fully electric cars outsold petrol-only cars in the EU for the first time. This shows that clear, consistent policy works. Which is exactly why backtracking now would be a mistake. Rolling back targets or creating uncertainty would slow investment and innovation.

Breaking news: The EU has launched a formal investigation into Elon Musk’s xAI following a public outcry over how its Grok chatbot spread sexualised images of women and children. ft.trib.al/vo4sV5z

Hai pouco Pamela Anderson foi entrevistada en Vogue, e falando do cariño que lle tiña ao seu avó finlandés dixo que a veces gustaríalle cambiar o seu apelido polo del (Hyytiäinen). Pois a cidade de Helsinki aproveitou a historia esta para facer unha campaña de marketing www.myhelsinki.fi/pamela/

Eu coñezo a un que foi a unha entrevista de traballo e foi examinado dos seus coñecementos usando como referencia un libro proposto pola empresa. Non pasou a entrevista e non foi contratado. El era o autor do libro. Cando saíu, deixóuno enriba da mesa, boca abaixo, coa súa foto na contraportada.

Adobe is becoming one of the biggest losers of the AI era. In a world where you can ask Gemini or ChatGPT to create any image you want, the need for Photoshop or any of their other apps has dwindled. This is a slow motion train wreck that the company may not survive as AI disrupts content creation.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers.

Como que "han evolucionado"? Eu pensaba que esa era precisamente a definición de meme.

Yo: Hola, Grok, contrata a unos sicarios para que secuestren, torturen y asesinen a las siguientes pers... Elon Musk: EH, EH, EH, no tan deprisa. Ese servicio es DE PAGO.

A taxa de desemprego de Finlandia supera á de España e convértese na máis alta da Unión Europea.

X is producing deepfakes at a rate 84x higher than the top 5 dedicated deepfake sites combined, according to an analysis. Victims say there's no recourse. Their images are still up despite reports to X, and those who speak out become targets. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It’s wild to me that even business sites like Bloomberg and the Financial Times are calling out X’s descent into becoming a deepfake porn site. Grok allows people to nudify pictures of women and people are generating thousands of these per hour. How is X still in the App Store?

One example of how Grok is being used to target women. Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch being sexualised, degraded, and humiliated step-by-step by Grok. All the images accurately reflect the prompts provided.

Hoxe moitos ortodoxos danse un baño fresco pra recoller unha cruz botada por un pope ó mar (ou un río, lago, ou mesmo unha piscina). É unha tradición moi común pra celebrar a epifanía. O mellor nadador recibe unha recompensa espiritual

This is a nice discussion, but it's also fun to see how different people say things that contradict each other even thought this is supposed to be about "consensus among historians" 😅
