Pruning My Domain Name Collection – Climb to the Stars Just like my kitchen cupboards were full of old old food just sitting there in case I ever felt like eating it (let me reassure you: cereals and pulses and things that “last”), my regis…

Does having two audio recordings help in any way when it comes to improving sound in the better of the two recordings, or is it just a question of trying to clean up the sound that is the least sucky? (2/2)

People with video/audio editing skills: I have two recordings of a conference I gave. The audio on the better video is really crap. The audio on the other is better but not great. I've seen that with iMovie I can grab the audio from one video recording and stick it on the other. (1/2)

293: Trump and Fascist Dementia — Conspirituality — Overcast As Trump surges his Gestapo and threatens to annex new territory, his brain is collapsing. He’s sundowning on Truth Social, nodding off in meetings, slurring words, slurping at the saliva pooling in his mouth. His insults and aggressions are as constant and predictable as his arms are, reaching out for handholds. Up until this point, discourse on the mental health of this decrepit fascist leader has used the kid gloves of psychology, psychoanalysis, and psychiatry, in which even the most informed analyses were constrained by the fact that experts were interpreting his inner states. For our part, we’ve compared his fate to that of charismatic cult leaders at the end of the line—and we’ll do more of that today. Now a new posse of clinical commentators on IG and TikTok have made it all much more biological: we are witnessing, they say, the predictable signs of fast-progressing dementia.

When we analyse these obviously pathological public personalities I’m always astonished that ADHD is never mentioned. Of course it’s not the only problem but when you rewind to “pre-crazy” behaviors there are pointers. And untreated, it’s a risk factor for worse stuff…

Les blogs que je lis en ce moment et que j’aime bien - La Lune Mauve J’ai longtemps cru que les blogs personnels étaient morts, mais c’est faux : c’est juste moi qui ne savais pas où regarder. Telle un chien truffier, je retourne Internet sans relâche pour en trouver. Voici une première sélection, garantie sans newsletter, sans Substack ni Patreon.

Les blogs, c’est l’avenir. Vraiment.

"The randomness is the difference between a regime based on terror and a regime that is plainly repressive. A regime based on terror...deploys violence precisely to reinforce the message that anyone can be subjected to it."

The more I think of it, the more it’s clear that the fact blog posts (or Discourse topics for that matter) have a TITLE is a major source of friction compared to the Socials. Explains why I keep ending up writing something on Facebook which « should be a blog post ». Looking for research on that.

Mortality rates:

Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100K
Viagra 4/100K

Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

More people have died in ICE detention centers already in 2026 than will die from mifepristone all year. These politicians are extremely dangerous to women.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Ep 33 | Do I Need Birth Control or Hormone Therapy? — OvaryActive — Overcast Birth control or hormone therapy? Why does this decision feel like a personality test you didn’t study for? In this episode of OvaryActive, the Docs tackle one of the most confusing (and hotly debated) topics in perimenopause: when birth control is actually the right choice, when menopausal hormone therapy makes more sense, and why TikTok might not be the best place for medical nuance. Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su and Dr. Amy Voedisch walk listeners through how clinicians actually think about this decision. The process includes contraceptive needs, bleeding patterns, symptom “greatest hits,” and medical history that actually matters. The Docs will guide you through the options and even cover what a combination approach might look like. Most importantly, shared decision-making, not social media panic, should guide treatment choices. This episode reminds you that perimenopause is real, complicated, and highly individual. And the right plan is the one that treats your physiology, not someone else’s algorithm. What…

Hi, looking for any "intelligence" on LLM use to participate in a Facebook group (impersonation). After a series of fishy comments (too much expertise, LLM layout and language tics), contacted user by DM, got fishy denial. How agent-like can a Facebook LLM bot be nowadays?
