Extraordinary claims that confirm your biases or trigger outrage are the easiest to believe, but that's exactly when skepticism matters most.

Even the first part of the sentence is hilarious. What does "4 weeks" have to do with anything! So your for-loop against an API took 4 weeks to complete, congrats I guess?

Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"

Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA 🇺🇸"

Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City."

Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

True, though SynthID only works for Gemini. Could've been made with anything else and probably was.

He's a backend dev who used a "burner laptop" at a public library to make an anonymous reddit post. That should have been the tell.

btw using AI to check if an image is fake isnt going to work the way you think it does, unless it points out specific issues that you can then verify.

Bay leaves have to be a long-running experiment to see how long people will follow instructions without questioning them.

Over 600k people have died due to USAID cuts.

Just a reminder that Elon Musk is genocidal piece of shit.

People capable of loving some paintings or etchings or whatever can rarely do this without knowing something about the art-ist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is one halt of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for sincerity? There are virtually no beloved or respected paintings made by persons of whom we know nothing. We can even surmise a lot about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caves underneath Lascaux, France. So I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to attach your name to your pictures, and to say why you hope others might find them rewarding to look at, there goes the ballgame right there. Pictures are famous for their human-ness and not their picture-ness. There is also the matter of craftsmanship. Real picture lovers like to "play along," so to speak, to look closely at the surface to see how the illusion was created by nothing but an unusual human being, with hands and eyes. If you are unwilling to say how you made your pictures, there goes the ballgame a second time. Good luck, and love as always K

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

Employees at Praxis received a welcome packet containing recommendations for books that openly promote racism and fascism. An internal Praxis slideshow highlighted traditionalist writer Julius Evola's "thinking on the four “functional classes” or castes, and suggested the categories should guide the company’s recruitment of new members and prospective residents."[14]

Just found out that Peter Thiele may be behind the push for the US to colonize Greenland, all in order to build a techno-utopian city called Praxis. Sounds like a bad conspiracy theory except that it's real.

Wouldnt that be due to the recent spate of headlines causing uncertainty around the AI bubble, ala Michael Burry + Epstein emails?

Was wondering about the impact of USAID cuts since I have seen much in the news, and found this. These people are monsters.

mitochondria from bipolar patients are closer to the nucleus in these images; control patients' are spread out further

15 years in the making, we confirmed that mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell - have an unusual localization in patients who experience psychosis (including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders). You’ll never guess what kind of patient cells we used to make this discovery… 🧵

I have one of these on backorder

Partly that. But I think most engagement is driven by normal people hoping that every action will lead to a better business/work opportunity (not their fault at all). The end result is an incredibly shallow and hollow social feed. Gives me the creeps.

Why is linkedin just so very very bad.

Holy crap this belongs in a museum.

Always good to remember.

There's a couple of mute lists around that can help. I haven't had an issue since.
