the latest: a bit about the biologist Conrad Waddington and how he embodies a transdisciplinary perspective that we all need - combining science, philosophy and art.

Aren't you based in America? I.e. "the continent" (or one of them. As an islander who is not located on any of the continents I don't think you get the right to use that term pejoratively when you are a continental yourself.

oh, now I found it

what's happened?

I made pancakes. Then I went to work and left the kids to fend for themselves. Just hold on a few more years.

Brake pad dust can be more toxic than exhaust emissions, study says Research shows move to electric vehicles may not be enough to enable pollution from cars to be eradicated

“Microscopic particles emitted from brake pads can be more toxic than those emitted in diesel vehicle exhaust, a study has found.”

People generally associate pollution from cars as being from exhaust pipes… but that’s only part of the problem with cars.

Community estimate of global glacier mass changes from 2000 to 2023 - Nature An intercomparison exercise reassesses mass loss from glaciers worldwide based on the main in situ and satellite methods from 2000 to 2023; the results are consistent with previous assessments and provide a refined and comprehensive observational baseline for future impact and modelling studies.

NOT me. Never have.

YouTube video by ApacheIndianVEVO Apache Indian - Boom Shack-A-Lak (Stereo)

that was the least inspired "talking in tongues" I have seen. Zero energy, zero passion (and zero faith), she's not even trying. It's just some "shakalaka" without rhythm or energy.

this is purely theoretical a president could hypothetically do something like this:
1) Announce policy that will destroy trade which will make stocks plummet.
2) Buy all the stocks.
3) Retract your policy, watch the market recover and stocks to back up.
4) Sell the stocks you bought.
5) Get rich.

gotta get stuff like that on video, bro! That's real content right there. You could go viral! Think of all the clicks you'd get. You'd be swimming in clicks.

Secretary Marco Rubio with Megyn Kelly of The Megyn Kelly Show - United States Department of State QUESTION:  Mr. Secretary, thank you so much for doing this.  SECRETARY RUBIO:  Thank you.  It still feels weird to hear that, but thank you.  QUESTION:  It does, right?  So you’re a week in now?  SECR...

Marco Rubio:
"it’s not normal for the world to simply have a unipolar power. It was a product of the end of the Cold War, but eventually you were going to reach back to a point where you had a multipolar world, multi-great powers in different parts of the planet."

I'm not an accelerationist and I don't think there's much good in this, but it is interesting to witness the United States willingly dismantling the global American hegemony - and openly declaring the end of US unipolar power at the world stage. Alexander Dugin must be so thrilled.

one factor might be that with movies like Dune, they started by having an actual story and then made the effects to tell the story (so they don't need more than they need). Every modern Marvel movie starts with the effects and then sloppily adds some thin story as an excuse to show the effects.

folk der lever af at andre har problemer har ikke råd til at løse de problemer. De har brug for at problemerne bliver ved med at være der samtidig med at de lover at løse dem i morgen.

forøvrigt parallelelt til det ekstremt komplicerede skattesystem i USA hvor selv almindelige lønmodtagere har brug for en revisor. Der kan gøres simplere og der har været forslag om at forenkle det. Men hvem er imod det? Dem der gør politisk karriere på at være imod det komplicerede skattesystem!

jo dyrere det er, des lettere er det at få folk til at klage over hvor dyrt det er. Politikere vil gerne have at folk koncentrerer sig om at klage over folk der ikke har politisk indflydelse i stedet for at klage over dem der har magten. Det er altså i racismens interesse at asylsystemet er dyrt.

Fastest block ever: I got a follow from someone whose bio (that had a Danish flag) said "I follow all Danes". Not me you don't.

What's the point of building on something that's already perfect?

Always was

Everybody knows what that was. We all saw it and we all know what we saw. We need to stop pretending that those are claim they saw otherwise is doing anything other than pretending. If we let them gaslight us on what we literally all saw they can have us question anything about reality. They KNOW.

Believe your eyes

Everybody knows that was a nazi salute. We all saw it. We all know what it was. Some people might be lying to themselves about it but they still know. We need to stop pretending that those who want us to disbelieve our own eyes are in good faith. They know very well what that was.

I don't know who Tjörvi is or why he is considered the "looney left". But we need to agree right now that people who are refusing to believe, and want us to disbelieve, what we all very clearly saw with our own eyes, should not be taken seriously. Everybody knows what that was. We all know it.

I think Bluesky is a great platform and I’m here to stay. However, a bookmark function would make the experience SO much better and much more functional for research/ information gathering, especially for reporters. Pretty please @support.bsky.team @bsky.app ?

For 25 years Denmark has been one of the most aggressively pro-american countries in Europe. The result of this is that the US is now trying to break up the Danish Commonwealth by annexing Greenland. The benefits of being a loyal part of the American empire are dwindling

‘Species’ Is Not the (Only) Unit of Biodiversity: A Process‐Philosophical Perspective on Conservation Concepts In this paper, we argue that the concept of ‘species’ should not be the main focus of research and policies in biodiversity conservation. Diversity is important at all levels of life: within species ...

Just had a long paper accepted in the journal of Marine Ecology, which I am pretty excited about because I'm neither a marine ecologist nor any kind of biologist. Deleuze and Arctic Charr might not be a combination anyone has made yet.

this is more important than it might seem. NDG, a self-proclaimed atheist, is implying that there exists a thing called "the Universe" which is separate from all the things that exist within this universe. I.e some transcendent entity which is capable of having attitudes towards the minor beings.
