TODAY IN 2024: “Their deliberations led them to a unanimous conclusion, beyond a reasonable doubt: That the defendant, Donald J. Trump, is guilty of 34 counts of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, to conceal a scheme to corrupt the 2016 election.” manhattanda.org/d-a-bragg-de...

Hope this becomes available to all of us. Pancreatic cancer is a killer.

A pre-AI take on academic cheating (C.S. Lewis).

Bring on the tortoises.

Just imagine the level of criminality that compels a President who was already personally granted full immunity by Supreme Court for anything related to 'official acts' to think that's not enough, he must *also* have his DOJ release all civil claims against him, two of his kids, and his company.

An American president sues/extorts his own government, then settles with his own justice department to funnel money to his criminal allies. He will go down in history as the president who came up with forms of corruption never contemplated before.

This is a shocking example of one of the big reasons why, right now, there is no way I’d use AI for any of my historical work. If you don’t look at the documents yourself, and if you don’t know how the AI you’re using was coded, you have no idea what it may be leaving out – or adding in.

Muslims don't deserve to be randomly killed because of Hamas actions. Jews don't deserve to be randomly killed because of Israeli govt actions. And the extent to which their communities speak out doesn’t justify violence against them. It's disturbing that I'm having to repeatedly explain that.

Mindes fru Dybkjær, som i en tale om fremtiden ved et nytårsmøde i IBM slut i 90erne forudsagde netop dette. Vi havde muligheden for at gøre noget. Vi gjorde intet. Det blev bare første store konsekvens af klimaændringer og menneskers misbrug af naturen.

Brilliant!

Louisiana now makes it a crime for police to refuse ICE cooperation. Florida created a board to punish officials who don't comply with ICE. Texas forced nearly all sheriffs to become immigration enforcers. And the crackdown on resisting ICE is spreading.

congressperson rushes in to meet his colleagues, waving the constitution “hey have you guys SEEN this thing”

Yes, please.

Reading Was Never Meant to Compete "Reading was never supposed to compete. It is not a faster, quieter version of TikTok. It is not trying to win your attention the way an algorithm does. Reading is its own thing entirely."

The. Rise. Of. Cognitive. Surrender. Study finds that people who use GenAI chatbots rely on them 80% of the time, and develop almost no capacity to recognize when a chatbot is feeding them faulty information. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

They’re not wrong.

It's incredibly important to understand that Hegseth is part of a movement. He is not some lone sociopath we have the bad luck to have heading our Dept of Defense. He is deeply embedded in a social movement that worked with others to elect DJT and ensure people like Hegseth would be in the cabinet

Nu mangler der kun krematorierne, fy for helved et land🤢

“They don’t realise the barbaric nature of their language because they live in an aggressor’s bubble: both the US and Israel are failed states because war is their biggest economic sector ..”

Så eksistentielt vigtigt. Og ingen taler om det.

My irregular reminder. #NeverForhet.

Det skal åbenbart ikke være nemt. På samtlige vælgertests, scorer Enhedslisten og Radikale ca. samme superhøje procent for mig. 😳 Venstreorienteret borgerlig og venstreorienteret arbejderparti = omtrent det samme? 🤓

20/ This is a far bigger fuel, fertilizer, food crisis for Asia and Europe than it is for the US. -- that has been my argument since war began. That weakest people will suffer most. Again, just as after Ukraine 20-30% SUPPLY is out. Asian govts now doing Covid-style DEMAND-side planned reductions

You should know that just after the invasion of Ukraine, Russia enacted two laws that criminalized independent war reporting and protesting the war. The laws made it illegal to spread “fake news” about Russia’s military or call for an end to its deployment. Penalties up to 15 yrs in prison.

So very true.

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction. Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

Superbugs resistant to antibiotics are rising fast. I tested water at Lough Neagh (40% of Northern Ireland’s drinking water) & found high levels of antibiotic-resistant genes from human & livestock poo. If we treat waterways like sewers, this is what we get. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Feminism !!!

I am so ashamed of all my fellow human beings who allow Trump to damage the world like he does. Leading politicians especially. Why have only Spain, Sweden and Belgium told Trump he’ll have to go it alone? Why do leading Americans wait for democratic elections? He does not respect democracy.

My irregular reminder. #NeverForget The USA and Israel seem bent on promoting conditions to make this possible again. So #NeverAgain no longer applies.

My irregular reminder. Getting more and more relevant. #NeverForget

Me too.

Be careful of AI out there.

Også i Danmark 😖

It looks like it.

🤮

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature.com did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers. Take a look—the numbers are staggering. By me, @dangaristo.bsky.social, Jeff Tollefson, @kimay.bsky.social, & help from @noamross.net @scott-delaney.bsky.social

It has been truly stunning to watch over the last two decades as “the West” has gone about systematically forgetting everything it spent half a century insisting it would never forget about where it went wrong last time.

Smukt

I Tyskland har de haft atomkraft. Det har de ikke længere. Alligevel går mere end halvdelen af miljøministeriets budget til opbevaring af og sikkerhedsforanstaltninger imod radioaktivt affald. En billig og sikker energiform. 👍

A Christmas reminder!

White men are 30% of the population. They are also: - 98% of presidents - 90% of CEOs - 90% of billionaires - 80% of Congress Forever oppressed.

Agree.
