This is an enormous scandal and reason for all academics to withhold labor from Taylor and Francis/Routledge

Pants is shocked, shocked I say, that you may not have hydrated, taken any meds you need, eaten something, and taken a moment to breathe. Look how concerned she is for you. You should do those things so she can relax.

It’s the fascist international 2.0 and it’s public and coming to try to end American democracy. Trump is signaling the axis of transnational fascism is awaiting him and the republicans with open arms. This is such a massive threat it’s really hard to describe.

As in most other places, there's both greatness + deep shame to France's history. High up among the latter is an often brutal, racist imperialism, and enthusiastic collaboration with Nazi-fascism. Yesterday, the best of France won out over darkness. Vive la Résistance!! 🇫🇷 ✊️

“Some children think that their legs might grow again. This is one of the saddest things that we hear on a regular basis, when talking to children. They tell us, we’re waiting for our legs to grow again. Sometimes, it’s difficult to explain that that’s not going to happen.”

Google's AI Overviews must create entirely new information in response to a search query. That costs an estimated *30 times* more energy than simply extracting information from a source through a traditional search. 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/what... by @parshallison.bsky.social

Happy pride! I wrote about the food that makes you gay, from jokes about ice cream to worries about soy, the long history of colonial fears about bodies and selves being able to change via food, and why that needn't be feared at all www.eater.com/24162871/foo...
The Food That Makes You Gaywww.eater.com Too many people grow up fearing what food might reveal about themselves. Maybe it’s time we embrace self-discovery.

The map shows the temperature change that would be expected, between the average of the 20 years before the event versus the average over the 20 years after the event. What that would exactly mean for weather, especially weather extremes, is hard to fathom. But it would very likely be ugly.

Just attending a 3-day workshop on the danger of abrupt ocean circulation changes. Discussions are quite worrying. E.g. in 35 to 45 % of high quality models, convection in the open North Atlantic collapses in the 2030s due to #globalheating. -> Major climate disruption. Not good.

Google appears to have rolled back its new AI Overviews — a generative AI feature — after the technology produced a litany of untruths and errors, including recommending glue as part of a pizza recipe and suggesting that people ingest rocks for nutrients.

AI is going to destroy the world... or at least profoundly damage it... because we are pouring precious resources into a very inefficient way of almost seeming to do things we can already do without it. Because we are damaging the environment and destroying ways of making a living for it.

If you're having a dispute over a game rule, and everything on the Internet disagrees with your interpretation, I can guarantee you that DMing "to hear from the creator" will not result in a different outcome. I'm tempted to just reply "your wife won, dude" every time.

Just absurd. Like a committee of mosquitoes charged with keeping us safe from insect bites. The US’s new AI Safety board. There are other names, but mostly tech CEOs.
