then I'd say the one on the right too!

it very much depends on what it's being used for. the right hand one is certainly more neutral. but if you're trying to convey a certain feeling (warmth, cosiness, intimacy) the left achieves that better imo.

Literally cannot stress enough that if I, a climate scientist, were running a scam it would be a lot more fun than this

Absolutely incredibly news from the world's largest emitter. The tide really might be beginning to turn on fossil fuels.

‘We need to dismantle the stigma of alcohol dependence in academia’ The academic workplace is getting better at supporting colleagues with anxiety and depression. Why does alcohol remain a taboo topic?

The academic world can centre around drinking.

So why are academics so silent when it comes to alcohol dependence?

Elon Musk having a big public crywank

Breaking news: man who could end world hunger and make serious roads into contesting climate change but instead chooses to make porn-AI accessible and cheerlead for fascists can’t work out why he’s not happy. 🧐

I hear that. but then mock the contradiction of her immigration story and her complicity on abuses on immigrants.

but simply mocking her accent without elaboration (as I've seen done multiple times at this point) promotes nothing but more xenophobia.

Don't get me wrong. Mock and critique away: There's so much she's responsible for and complicit in.

But not like this.

Why do people mocking Melania feel the need to mock her accent?

Call me crazy, but maybe mocking someone for being a non-native English speaker isn't what we oughta be doing right now?

thanks Gavin!

YouTube video by ClimateAdam Climate Scientist Reacts to AI Overlords

A very well produced video by @climateadam.bsky.social unpicking the projections and lies around what AI offers us. As Adam points ouy, they are just salesmen – except we are not being asked if we want to buy it, we are just being force fed the slop.

If only Bezos cared as much about journalism as sending celebrities to space.

Heartbreaking news from @washingtonpost.com

absolutely. I guess my musing is more about whether he's effectively already destroyed the concept of truth in his own mind.

I understand that this is pretty academic...

Either way, the results are the devastating and the cause is deeply concerning.

I genuinely don't know if Trump "lies" in the way we generally mean.

I just don't know if he has a sense of "truth" beyond what's convenient to say and have others believe.

But let's not let facts get in the way of fascism, eh?

I can't find any evidence that this is real. if it isn't, please delete.

Asked what he would say to women who were attacked and abused, Trump chooses to attack a woman.

More on the ICE facility. 🤬

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

Boy saves family with 2.5-mile swim in shark-infested waters MANA SHEPHERD/ASAP, ALA James Salmon Perth A 13-year-old boy who swam for four hours through shark-infested Western Australia's waters to save his mother and two siblings after they were swept out to sea has been described as "superhuman" by rescue services. Austin Appelbee swam 25 miles to shore to raise the alarm after getting into difficulties with his mother, Joanne, 47, brother Beau, 12, and sister Grace, 8, police said. He then ran 1.2 miles to find help. Paul Bresland, Naturaliste Volunteer Marine Rescue commander, said that Austin's efforts were "superhuman".

They lost their paddles and their kayak flipped over and started sinking as it filled with water. Austin's mother realised their best chance of survival was asking her elder son to swim for shore while she tried to keep her other children from drowning "One of the hardest decisions I ever had to make was to say to Austin, "Try to get to shore and get some help, this could get really serious really quickly she told the broadcaster ABC. *I knew he was the strongest and he could do it." For the next few hours, she and her rounger children clung to their paddle boards. Austin set off on an inflatable kayak wearing a lifejacket. He abandoned the kayak after it took on water, and took off the lifejacket. Austin said he tried to focus on positive thoughts as he swam through rough seas. "The waves are massive and " he said.

sorry to be sentimental but this is the most amazing heartwarming story

hello stranger on the internet. I'm sorry to hear about your mother's actions and how they've hurt you.

but it's lovely to hear of your love for your wife and your kids - and I hope that love can guide you in valuable ways.

for me that's what "fight with love" is about.

Israel agrees to limited reopening of Rafah border crossing in Gaza Tens of thousands of ill and wounded Palestinians await evacuation as diplomatic efforts inch forward

Let's pause and think about what an absolutely wild sentence this is.

"The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt has been reopened *by Israel*"

How can we quantify the suffering that's come from trapping people in Gaza? And trapping supplies outside.

honestly beyond finding the clips I had to do very little in this video.

the things these CEOs say are just so self-evidently nonsensical!

YouTube video by ClimateAdam Climate Scientist Reacts to AI Overlords

The thing about this video by @climateadam.bsky.social is that the mainstream media & commentariat does not pick up on any of the crap pushed about AI (well, rarely).

Some of the AI claims are rather easy to debunk, but for some reason no one wants to... www.youtube.com/watch?v=py0X...
