There was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source says FBI officials promised raw, unaltered video to quell speculation about Epstein's suicide.

I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

Hunderte Millionen Fördergeld für barrierefreie Bahnhöfe ungenutzt Jeder fünfte Bahnhof ist nicht barrierefrei – der Bundesrechnungshof übt scharfe Kritik am Verkehrsministerium.

Eigentlich sollen bis 2026 kleine und mittlere Bahnhöfe #barrierefrei und moderner werden. Aktuell ist jedoch noch jeder fünfte Bahnhof nicht barrierefrei. Nach Kritik des Bundesrechnungshofes am #Verkehrsministerium soll eine Reform der #Förderprogramme das jetzt ändern.

Ist Palantir-Software der Einstieg in den Überwachungsstaat? Palantir verspricht, mit Hilfe von KI Verbrechen zu bekämpfen. Auch deutsche Behörden nutzen die Software, die als Mittel zur Totalüberwachung kritisiert wird.

falls jemand einen auffrischungskurs braucht: ich habe letztens genau beleuchtet, was palantir behauptet zu leisten, was es wahrscheinlich wirklich leistet und welche menschen dahinter stecken.

ganz ehrlich nichtmal die bräuchte es? palantir gehört zu den wenigen überwachungstechnologien, die selbst außerhalb von fachmedien rauf und runter diskutiert werden. ich halte unwissen an dieser stelle für unglaubwürdig.

I don't know how many times "technocrats openly talk about their desire for an ignorant and compliant serf class they can use and dispose of on a whim" needs be stated before people put two and two together

Text Reads: Hi Creators! Starting August 13, 2025 we'll begin rolling out and age estimation model to determine if a US-based user is under the age of 18. This will happen regardless of the birthdate of a user entered when creating their account. We'll then use that to extend age-appropriate product experiences and protections to more teens (like enabling digital wellbeing tools and only showing non-personalized ads). These protections for teens are not new - we now have enhanced technology to more accurately determine whether or not a user is under 18 and are now able to extend these protections to more teenagers. We've used this approach in other markets for some time, where it is working well and we are now gradually rolling it out to the US. The age estimation model uses a variety of signals such as YouTube activity and longevity of the account. If we determine a user is under 18, they'll be notified. As always they'll have the option to verify their age (through government ID, selfie, or a credit card) if they believe out age estimation model is incorrect. For creators, based on our age estimation model we'll apply some additional protections including: - Setting uploads as private by default for anyone - Restricting the ability to earn from gifts on vertical.

Hey, everyone who is calling Mastercard and Visa about the age verification BS. I think you should start aiming at YouTube as well.

The attack on US academia is ideological and destructive, yes.

They’re not trying to improve higher ed, reform it, or do any of their flimsy excuses (uphold free speech on campus, combat antisemitism, etc). They’re trying to break it to satisfy a mix of cultural, political, and personal grievances.

Someone on here compared AI produced material as "digital asbestos " which in a few decades' time we will have to work out how to eradicate from the fabric of research.

'Disabling' Chronic Illness in Children Not Taken Seriously

“It was found that... 15%, who had previously tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection were identified as likely having long COVID... Suggesting it has become one of the most common chronic illnesses in children.”

I did this last night, and literally this morning a friend who writes fic has had her whole account restricted, and when I try to access writing that I've edited/collaborated on, this is what I get:

OK- here we go. Sorry for the delay, I was not prepared for the exertion required in the thrill-a-minute adventure that is… CACAO FERMENTATION.

Yes, this will actually take 5 days. After that two days of drying. I’m not making this up. Nothing happens. Really. You’ll see.

Anyway, off we go!

Amazing video—though it took me a while to find its actual source. It's republished from a video on Instagram that this person linked to—but the Instagram account stole it from the actual creator on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@jonas_sjv/v... And naturally, the original creator's account/name got erased.

I’m re-reading Sagan’s PALE BLUE DOT and I’m at the chapter where he talks about how he had to convince NASA to take the image. There was no scientific value in taking an image of Earth from that distance, but he knew such an image would be invaluable to us as a society.

Do you ever just get sad about how many people have fully embraced anti-intellectualism?

Anfeindungen gegen Nationalspielerin Lohmann: Wer hetzt, hasst auch den Fußball Nach dem Halbfinal-Aus ist Sydney Lohmann in den sozialen Medien heftigen Vorwürfen ausgesetzt. Dabei rechtfertigt kein Fehler solche Kommentare – das sollte endlich klar sein.

Nach ihrem Fehler im EM-Halbfinale machen viele Sydney Lohmann heftige Vorwürfe. Doch kein misslungener Pass, kein Foul, kein verschossener Elfmeter dürfen dazu führen, dass eine Spielerin Hass und Hetze ausgesetzt ist. Schlimm genug, dass man das immer und immer wieder betonen muss.

Figure 5: Overview of Dysbiotic Host-Microbiome Interactions in ME/CFS. This conceptual diagram visualizes the host-microbiome interactions in healthy conditions (left) and its disruption and transition into the disease state in ME/CFS (right). The base icons of the figure remain consistent, while gradients and changes in color and size visually represent the progression of the disease. Process of production and processing is represented by lines with arrows, where the color indicates an increase (red) or decrease (blue) in the pathway in disease; lines without arrows indicate correlations, with red representing positive and blue representing negative correlations. In healthy conditions, microbial metabolites support immune regulation, maintaining mucosal integrity and healthy inflammatory responses by positively regulating Treg and Th22 cell activity, and controlling Th17 activities, including the secretion of IL17 (purple cells), IL22 (blue), and IFNy. These microbial metabolites also maintain many positive interactions with plasma metabolites like lipids, bile acids, vitamins, and phenols. In ME/CFS, there is a significant decrease in beneficial microbes and a disruption in metabolic pathways, marked by a decrease in the butyrate (brown-red dots) and BCAA (yellow) pathways and an increase in tryptophan (green) and benzoate (red) pathways. These changes are linked to gastrointestinal issues. In ME/CFS, the regulatory capacity of the immune system diminishes, leading to the loss of health-associated interactions with Th17, Th22, and Treg cells, and an increase in inflammatory immune activity. Pathogenic immune cells, including CD8 MAIT and VOT cells, show increased activity, along with the secretion of inflammatory cytokines such as IFNy and GzmA, contributing to worsened general health and social functioning. Healthy interactions between gut microbial metabolites and plasma metabolites weaken or even reverse in the disease state. …
