“I’ve automated 2-4 videos daily, zero human intervention, I spend a half hour a week working on this, why am I not getting paid yet?”

1. David Ackerly (UC Berkeley) While his most-cited work is on leaf size and SLA, he also wrote explicitly about plasticity in leaf traits, including shape, in the context of ecological strategies.

Just in case there was any doubt, ChatGPT 5.0 still makes up completely random citations that don't exist and should not be used for literature search.

Loads of women aren't getting laid, they're just not massive dickheads about it (as much)

The left need to talk more about how we can mob hotels with migrants in - if we don’t, the right will fill the vacuum

Apart from the other glaring unmentioned ssue, this is an "interesting" pov from the director of a race equality think tank when her inexperience in race equalities issues was specifically cited as a problem by the two committees

This is obviously so different to what is going on now, sorry

i hate the game politicians play where they back israel 100% until it starts killing too many people too fast, then they start calling for peace until the killing slows to levels acceptable for them. they're not opposing genocide, they're negotiating how quickly it should proceed

fun historical fact: among the core political forces in the development of mass incarceration was the "Victims' Rights Movement". Its first major legislative national legislative victory was under President Reagan. The prison population doubled under his administration.

It makes a huge difference! Lab leak conspiracists want to ban tons of virus research and direct funds away from the wildlife trade and other sources of zoonotic spillover. Read lab leak articles or don't, but it's not some arcane debate with no relevance to present day politics.

‘If I die, I want a loud death’: Gaza photojournalist killed by Israeli airstrike Fatima Hassouna, who had been documenting war in Gaza for 18 months and was subject of new documentary, killed along with 10 members of her family As a young photojournalist living in Gaza, Fatima Hassouna knew that death was always at her doorstep. As she spent the past 18 months of war documenting airstrikes, the demolition of her home, the endless displacement and the killing of 11 family members, all she demanded was that she not be allowed to go quietly. “If I die, I want a loud death,” Hassouna wrote on social media. “I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.” Continue reading...

ngl it's making me so sad

Covid is fun because I now just smell strong vinegar every time I breath through my nose - and I can't smell or taste anything else!
