Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?! & more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Really cool that the Windows 11 news widget shows Charlie Kirk conspiracy headlines from IBTimes, an outfit run by members of "The Community" cult.

A digital ID system already exists for foreign residents of the UK. It's called the eVisa, and it has major flaws. The Open Rights Group published a report a year ago, warning of a digital Windrush scandal: www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releas...

The Trump administration is committing crimes against humanity right before our eyes. They are disappearing people who are in this country legally and sending them to El Salvadoran prison camps to be tortured. Every official involved deserves nothing less than to be tried at The Hague.

Watched Nuremberg (2000) last night for no particular reason. Highly recommended, great feel-good ending.

This garbage is what the BBC consider "US politics unspun". You understand more about US politics if you never pay attention to it than you do following the BBC. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
