Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies.

gah, just had a scary thought: what if an AI calls or emails or DMs me and I reply, and then I'll have sent a prompt and sullied my hands

For carbon-rich white dwarfs, the colours move "down", which brings onto the table blue, purple, pink, and peach. For metal-rich white dwarfs, absorption of certain metals can produce diverse colours, including green.

Remembering that time when some big name accounts were arguing that X is all good now and the algorithm has been de-Elon'd. Wait, that was yesterday. The same time this was happening.

The US conducted 1026 nuclear tests up to 1992, plus 28 in collaboration with the UK. 78.5% of those were underground detonations at the Nevada National Security Site. sgp.fas.org/crs/nuke/R45...

The ability to own fault and change for the better is powerful. If there were two presidential candidates and I knew nothing about either of them save that I heard one say "I was wrong before, I'm sorry" I'd vote for that one.

Thinking scientifically, if Maxwell's Demon proves that information can be converted into energy and vice versa, then knowledge, being the possession of information, is not power but energy. Power is change or transmission of energy over time. Therefore 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 is power. That feels deep to me 🤔

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

No shit, 100% agree here.

Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

99% of the impact assessments on sea level rise are wrong: www.nature.com/articles/s41... By using geoid models instead of actual sea-level measurements, they severely *underestimate* the damage done. 31-37% more land and 48-68% more people would fall below a 1 m sea level rise.

Procreate confirms it has NO plans to add generative AI features to its apps. The company continues to stand firmly against integrating generative AI into its creative tools.

Basically the space whale I designed can look at a system and intuitively eyeball these, which is part of how it is able to gain and shed enough velocity to migrate between stars.

Here are the 33 Democrats who voted with Republicans to block federal funding to American colleges if they engage in boycotts against Israel — a foreign country that's committed genocide and killed Americans using American tax dollars:
