Where/what to read about this?

I thought he could be teaching me about chess for most of my life.

RIP Daniel Naroditsky :(

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

Oh, it "would appear" so, yeah?

Either it took the pigs a full day to realise they'd shot two people or they deliberately withheld this information from the public so they could manage the media fallout. You can decide which of those makes them look worse.

This is because you are easily impressed

at what point will people miss the good parts of "good taste"?

bc I feel like the elephant in the room is how "AI" remixed images provide content that does something impressive for people who have always felt diminished, locked out, w/r/t taste.

and this trumps labor concerns for many

These motherfuckers need Cable Streeting

R/aitubers is all the entitlement of NewTubers but exclusively for people openly churning out slop.

“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. Example: Ackerly (1997), “Allocation, leaf display, and growth in fluctuating light environments: A comparative study of deciduous and evergreen species” (Oecologia). This emphasizes how plasticity in leaf traits mediates adaptation to light.

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

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

Charge £20 for GP appointments, says think tank Sajid Javid, who backs report by Policy Exchange, says Britain is ‘long overdue’ a ‘serious conversation’ about how the NHS is funded

Patients should pay £20 for a GP appointment as part of an insurance-based NHS, says former Tory Minister Sajid Javid.

It is a plan for mass democide of low/middle income families, sick, old and disabled to enable corporations/rich to profiteer.

this is in fact true for almost all early years interventions, which is yet another reason why the lack of childcare support in the UK is criminal

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...

‘If I die, I want a loud death’: Gaza photojournalist killed by Israeli airstrike

I’ll harp on this forever: it’s a scandal that there’s no media coverage of the astonishingly large and violent white supremacist and neo-Nazi community on Twitter - or the way that community is directly protected and promoted by the site’s owner, one of the world’s most important political figures

A chunk of the Labour victory (and a BIG chunk of Lib Dem and Green votes) was directly won through anger at water companies and the spectre of sewage in the water. What is going to change, now that Labour is in power?

forgot again ;(

forgot about this website

wooo

can't believe i'm moving country in like 3 weeks
