So... Some jowly cheeked fruitloop reckons Arabs don't produce literature... Instead of giving him more breath, let's instead celebrate Arab literature. Starting with 1001 Nights... Which gave literature the embedded narrative technique & without which, Disney would have made far less money.

Like… this baseline assumption that things from sources that are treated as authoritative obviously must thus be trustworthy is circular reasoning that is doing and will continue to do a lot of harm unless and until we tackle this shit at a BUNCH of levels of society.

Repeat after me: Chatbots are not search engines.

So this is how it works DNA from patient's tumor is sequenced to find mutations in the cancer cells, that produce neoantigens. The mRNA vaccines are tailored to the recipient’s tumor-specific neoantigens. The immune system is primed to recognize & attack cancer cells carrying those neoantigens.

Literally the first shot of this "historically accurate" Odyssey movie shows a boat that A) Has no steering oar. B) Is under full sail *and* full rowers while entering a cave, presumably to dock inside.

I don't want to get ahead of myself but Trump may have very well kicked off a Prop 187 redux, but nationwide. A good summary of what happened and why TX and CA diverged so strongly post 1994 www.alexnowrasteh.com/p/propositio...

Minor dystopian moment at the pool this morning. A six year old-ish kid is staring up at the sky: "Dad? Are those drones?" "No, those are dragonflies", says dad.

Elon as a guest anchor on 60 Minutes is just what CBS needs to turn the ship around.

This troublemaker again… juvenile Cooper’s Hawk

Because its a patriarchal costume that they have been forced to wear since they were boys and they were told if they take it off they will suffocate, so they break themselves to fit it out of existential terror. Ironically, its the costume that's choking them

Reminder that the "A.i." industry is literally ruining everything.

which is of course true of most of the campist-left's engagement with the rest of the world: a refusal to even take these people at their own word, let alone study these countries on an empirical level, and instead forcibly transfer the debate to an intra-west power struggle

When people explain Trump helping Russia by saying Putin has "dirt" on him, they're absolving Trump of responsibility. In blackmail, the target is coerced to act against their will. I don't think the "dirt" theory intends to argue Trump's a victim and would otherwise be acting better. But it does.

Any please, please - privileged Americans, Australians, Europeans, British people, stop flaunting the visa system while brown people are being thrown in detention for doing less. Holy shit.

A song from today, written by Anne Lister, performed by Martin Simpson. Listen to it.

I hope this guy goes to the Senate because I want people in the Senate who will talk up this issue. Lots of things about this country need to be fixed, but this is a big one that people can agree on.

Well, seeing as it's Friday, it would be rude not to celebrate #FlamingoFriday You lovely lot made another week, congratulations! 🥳 Thanks for all the wonderful welcome backs I've received, it's a reminder of the superb community here on Bluesky. xx (Newbys, have a look at my Alt description) 🪶

sigh....could we just have bike lanes. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Congrats to incoming White House press secretary Tilly Norwood

You better believe I interviewed Romain Gavras. We talked about SACRIFICE, Chris Evans, ATHENA, music videos, the ending of ATHENA, his childhood, the legacy of ATHENA, his relationship with Chris Marker, and the criticisms of ATHENA... Here's a gift link. www.vulture.com/article/roma...

I tell you, the sperm whale will stand no nonsense.

When the GOP gets too crazy for Ken Buck, you know things are really bad.

Sunday for Thursday How it started… Sunny morning for a hike How it quickly ended… Fast moving graupel storm

A some point we're going to have to address the elite idea that anything is ok as long as money was made if we want to have an actual, working society.

one of the key factors in the souring of Silicon Valley culture is the whole "acceptance of failure" element... it's one thing to not let the failure of some enterprise SaaS startup hold you back, but when your startup causes children to self-harm at scale maybe that failure should stick with you

Here are my favourite highlights from @doctorow.pluralistic.net's new book, The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life after AI

1/ Today, I'll finally be able to see the Gibney's Musk documentary (in Santa Fe). Given what we read yesterday about Musk's grotesque smear of Mary Comans, & what we read today about him unilaterally handicapping Ukraine's ability to defend against Russia, I worry Gibney isn't harsh enough.

What we need right now are kindness and compassion, tempered by ruthlessness.

needless to say, the fact that the president is personally participating in *heavy sigh* generative animal snuff content at a time when his secretary of *heavier sigh* war is threatening to livestream an execution presents a more pressing and specific issue... but the moral rot runs super deep here
