So here's the reality--we're up against a tight deadline. Signatures are due in Augusta by 5pm March 16 and I need help meeting my goal. If I could get 20 volunteers to commit to collecting 20 signatures each, it would be a huge help. Can I count on you?

Hi everyone! My name is Andrea LaFlamme and I'm running to unseat Susan Collins in the US Senate. I'm a feminist public health professor and the ONLY candidate in this race who has worked in education, municipal health, and as an elected union leader. (1/2)

Media literacy also refers to a lack of shared references. Younger gens haven’t been passively exposed to pop culture that existed before their time the way older gens were, so there’s not always a sense of context — of filmed stories/tropes existing on a continuum that’s existed for 100 years

My photo shows a museum display with colourful Minoan pottery cups arranged on three clear shelves, one above the other. These cups, known as Kamares Ware, are from Phaistos, Crete. They were made in palace workshops, c. 1800-1700 BC. The cups range in shape and size from conic and cylindrical cups (top and middle shelves) to hemispherical and carinated shaped cups (bottom shelf). They are decorated with multi-coloured geometric motifs; with spirals and swirls painted in red and white pigment on black.

Sipping my coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups!

They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were made during the Bronze Age some 3,800 years ago!

AI Translations Are Adding ‘Hallucinations’ to Wikipedia Articles AI translated articles swapped sources or added unsourced sentences with no explanation, while others added paragraphs sourced from completely unrelated material.

Low paid workers in the global south are using AI translation to generate Wikipedia articles that, surprising no one, include errors and hallucinations.

Thank you! At an event last night I said "If the word hope doesn't work for you try, 'Never fucking surrender.'" The word hope seems too sunny to a lot of people, but the heart of it as I'm interested in it is: we make the future in the present, if we show up, and that never surrender part.

I just woke from a really bonkers Hogwarts themed dream that I will never be able to explain in the morning, but it was actually pretty cool. It was like a theme park attached to a casino and there was good ice cream. But also the dormitory part was real and fairly boring. And it was adults. Mostly.

Yep. Ford represented a very specific kind of Being Cool By Being A Dipshit that used to be right at the heart of American pop-culture depictions of masculinity.

Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart both excelled at it.

Yep, inventor of Morse Code was a painter. Why not?.

It's so cool because Samuel Finley Breese Morse began his career as a painter before he was an inventor.

His portrait of 5 year-old Little Miss Mary Hone feeding her kitten hangs in the MFA. It's so charming.

Holy shit

If human rights are limited to certain groups, they are not really human rights, are they?

Also self education and self development even if it’s not passed on. Writing orders the mind, research expands the researcher’s own knowledge.

Yes. They are like practicing scales for music or running drills for athletics in that the process has to be there for the benefits to come. But that only works if someone’s goal is to get skills, not credit.

This is just someone’s weird uncle who wears socks with his garden clogs and is wondering if you’ve ever tried kombucha.

“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

FYI: social science research is different from crunching numbers on questions that have already been answered. It is about learning FROM YOUR SUBJECTS what other questions you *should* be asking and haven’t yet, and then following that deeper in.

AI ain’t it.

I tell people that if the government is covering up the existence of aliens, NASA is absolutely not involved, because astrobiologists can't keep a secret to save their lives

There have been MULTIPLE early leaks of scientific discoveries via DECORATED CAKE. Scientists are good at many things, but shutting up is definitely not one of them.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Truly extraordinary. And there’s a twist at the end.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
