It's so cool the company that's ten percent of the whole stock market by making ai chips doesn't even make the chips

*Larry ffs

This mostly details the misery party summers inflicted on the global south through the imf and wto. If he's in proximity to power, so is the belief that banks should genuinely literally run the world

Also tf does mcmegan know about the cognitively competent

This is literally just Mormonism. They're big on this idea that having a wife and kids will fix people and if it doesn't they aren't trying hard enough

A comparison, showing a hippo standing in shallow water, and a see-through model of a hippo with an extremely thin layer of subcutaneous fat and skin over a body that's thick with muscle.

Additionally, hippos - despite being massive - have almost no fat on them. All of that impressive bulk is muscle.

2% body fat. Compare that to Elephants, which are around 8-10%, or rhinos, which are 10-20%.

The average human is around 20-40%, for reference.

They're *all* muscle.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

He'll live to be 167 years old at least

Ask the aquarium if you can take care of the sea otters a little as a treat

People used to get paid for stuff. Also culture isn't something you consume, it's something you make

So I'm sad that talented weirdos used to have houses and kids and now they're trying not to get evicted. But I'm also sad the slots available for people to do interesting things are reserved for people promising to help billionaires digest the public good, to say everything should be melted down

I know I'm old now because I'm getting a lot of "the world you grew up in doesn't exist anymore", but it sucks seeing people just don't have the opportunities they used to. Everyone knows the stories of people getting a start on local TV or the local paper blah blah blah

Meta using all the big data tools to identify child predator behavior and then saying these people drive a lot of engagement let's not do anything to stop this is really a pure distillation of the current moment.

the plaintiffs allege: 1. Meta intentionally designed its youth safety features to be ineffective and rarely used, and blocked testing of safety features that it feared might be harmful to growth. 2. Meta required users to be caught 17 times attempting to traffic people for sex before it would remove them from its platform, which a document described as "a very, very, very high strike threshold." 3. Meta recognized that optimizing its products to increase teen engagement resulted in serving them more harmful content, but did so anyway.

4. Meta stalled internal efforts to prevent child predators from contacting minors for years due to growth concerns, and pressured safety staff to circulate arguments justifying its decision not to act. 5. In a text message in 2021, Mark Zuckerberg said that he wouldn't say that child safety was his top concern "when I have a number of other areas I'm more focused on like building the metaverse." Zuckerberg also shot down or ignored requests by Nick Clegg, Meta's then-head of global public policy, to better fund child safety work.

On the one hand, Facebook is an abomination hostile to life. On the other, it's like 5% of the whole stock market value so who's to say

I'm reading this while watching an on TV for Instagram with a father and daughter pitching privacy and safety features

I read an Oliver Sachs story about a guy who was on a motorcycle and slipped on some wet leaves, tearing the nerve in his shoulder with total function loss. Anyway the lesson I learned wasn't about motorcycles but obviously the peril of wet leaves

Yes! Honk honk honk yes

Keep honking it pleases the gods and goddesses of honk

KEEP HONKING I’m looking at pictures of my dog

The consumer product safety commission doesn't want your thanksgiving to be totally sick and rad 🤘

public health is pretty fucking cool if you ask me

Parallels nicely with how in these countries the product Facebook sells is elections

Probably a screaming circle

It's not right to be hauling around that dump truck and still get called a 1/1 creature

If you can't recruit an assistant, maybe you can commiserate with another list battler
