Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

Banning social media is meaningless when school tech shares data with social media companies and third parties

So a child reaches 16 and already has an entire shadow profile ready for them, not to mention what is known to HR systems and advertisers.

Good tech journalism would say this

I'm older than you so I can confirm that they came with a little book that had the tutorial in it and you read it on the way home

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters.

The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

This guy (@glutelord.bsky.social) is correct about a lot of the discourse around "looksmaxxing" and so much of guys' ideas of what men should look like, and he should keep saying it.

This is Princess. She and her human work hard every day collecting trash at an apartment building. It is an often thankless job, but one kind resident thought the pair should know how much they are appreciated, and that Princess should get a uniform too. 13/10 for all (TT: oliviaolp)

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

adairsofair commented on instagram: In elementary school we weren't allowed to wear hats and in 3rd grade this boy, Joey, came in with a hat on and we were all like "Joey ur gonna get in trouble!" And the teacher told him to take it off but he said he got a really bad hair cut so the teacher and him went out in the hall and then they came back in and she said "Joey is allowed to wear a hat today"

laughing so hard I might cry at this random instagram comment

Unbelievable work. His entire catalog of Mardi Gras costumes is insanely impressive, simply one of the most massively talented guys I know.

none of the reasonable and nuanced arguments ever seem to dissuade people who think AI is good so it's time to start being unreasonable and mean!

the thing they think is good looks like shit! tell them they suck! tell them they've diminished themselves in your eyes. hurt their feelings about it!

I cannot believe that someone wrote this down with the intention that other people should see it.

The passive voice is putting in an heroic shift here.

for 30k I can make *two* feature films, with, you know, humans

"Most importantly, there is no AI without massive financial and ideological backing. It is therefore pointless to discuss its techniques or capabilities without asking who controls it, who benefits from it, who builds and deploys it, and what it is doing in the world"

jesse jackson was constantly played as a punchline on 90s late-night TV to the point that i didn't understand his history of activism and serious left-leaning political platform until i was much older. i have to think, to some degree, that was on purpose.

Anyone picking the centrist path is a Republican. Jig is up, baby. Clinton Wing of the Dem party is done. Go that way and die. If you want to win a seat, get on the side of the good guys. Or run as a Republican.

Dem voters on a panel unanimously saying they want a progressive candidate, not a moderate

And this was interestingly unanimous— and not being that well reflected yet in the offerings from actual Dem politicians. Word to the wise

Opinion | The Democratic Party, ICE, Trump: 13 Democratic Voters Discuss The group discusses the Democratic Party’s response to Trump and his reshaping of American life.

And now for something completely different: I point out something GOOD from the Times editorial board www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Photo of an Ancient Egyptian artists’s small, naturalistic painting of a standing hippopotamus on a flake of white limestone, dated c. 1479–1425. The hippo is painted in profile with head lowered and to the right. The body is outlined with black paint and painted brown. The belly, eyes, and ears are painted red. Although the ancient Egyptians were well aware of the danger and destructive power of hippos, this painted hippo has rather a friendly face! Dimensions: H. 10.8 cm (4 1/4 in); W. 12 cm (4 3/4 in); Th. 1.7 cm (11/16 in) Egyptian artists made practice sketches on flakes of limestone, sometimes for use as templates when transferring an image to the wall of a tomb or a temple. Limestone flakes were readily available because of the constant construction of temples and rock-cut tombs. A number of such sketches were recovered at Deir el-Bahri during the 1922-23 MMA excavations. This painting was acquired by the museum in the division of finds.

Happy #WorldHippoDay! 🦛❤️

To celebrate here’s a lovely naturalistic painting of a hippo on a small flake of limestone. Painted by an Egyptian artist some 3,500 years ago!

Middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet Last year, people in the U.S. made an estimated $4.7 billion selling their plasma. Donation centers are popping up in middle-class neighborhoods, including suburban strip malls and college towns.

Is this the “golden age” economy we’ve heard so much about?
