Ukrainian forces advanced further into the Zaporizhzhia region. The new positions are directly threatening the Russian occupation in Uspenivka.
The Russian presence in the Dnipropetrovsk region has been almost completely removed.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
you're god damned right 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
What's worse than using 'content' to describe artistic work?
Using the term 'content industry' to describe basically all art.

Bat -small, brown, forehead injury. Found on the ground.
Found this small, brown bat (descrip, not species?) forehead injury. Active, so we put her in the shed where she can fly out uf she wants, but has a warm place to crash.
We face two urgent challenges concerning consciousness and AI. Challenge One is that millions of users will soon misattribute human-like consciousness to AI friends, partners, and assistants on the basis of mimicry and role-play, and we don’t know how to prevent this. Challenge Two is that profoundly alien forms of consciousness might genuinely be achieved in AI, but our theoretical understanding of consciousness is too immature to provide confident answers one way or the other. Centrism about AI consciousness is the position that we must take both challenges seriously. The two challenges interact in ways that make this difficult. Steps to address Challenge One might undermine attempts to address Challenge Two by portraying the idea of conscious AI as impossible or inherently unlikely. Conversely, attempts to address Challenge Two might lead to higher levels of misattribution from ordinary users. This “manifesto” attempts to construct mutually consistent strategies for addressing both challenges.
Since people are doing "is AI conscious?" discourse on here again I feel like this philpapers.org/rec/BIRACA-4 by @birchlse.bsky.social remains my favourite piece on the current state of affairs.

wie nennt man dass Struktur-gebende Prozess am Anfang des schreibens - also das englische Begriff 'Outline', wobei man die Reihefolge der zu handelnde Themen auslegt. Bei Fiktion der Handlungsstrang auslegen, aber... Essays?

Newly published Epstein files reveal allegations that Trump sexually assaulted an adolescent girl.
The woman alleges Trump forced her to perform oral sex when she was around 13 years old, then struck her after she bit his penis.
Cory's in the house.
I voted with Rep Nancy Mace to release these files.
Release files about harassers in Congress.
Release files about the Epstein predators.
Not hard, folks.
Is not being able to think what you do is important also imposter syndrome?
Wish you calm and resolve.
Keep your sights on the good that you've achieved and be flexible.

Justice for Izabela! A Polish court has sentenced three doctors to prison over the 2021 death of Izabela from sepsis during a 22-week miscarriage, after doctors refused to help. "This was a case involving extraordinary negligence, a pure disregard for the most basic and fundamental medical duties."
Ein Video von einem Vorfall in Rosenheim zeigt, wie ein AfD-Politiker offenbar Demonstranten ein Protest-Banner entreißen will. In den Medien landet aber die Behauptung, die AfD sei gewalttätig angegriffen worden – und es wird gegen die Demonstranten ermittelt. www.volksverpetzer.de/aktuelles/ro...
I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
Habe das mal auf den aktuellen Stand gebracht (2025). Und es gibt kein Anzeichen für ein Entschleunigen...
Unity helped Ukrainians prevail against Russia’s winter terror
The threat of fascism is real. Economics has too often helped rather than hindered its rise. We need an anti-fascist economics to defend our democracies.
So, I’m writing a book to do my part. More soon.

A wide-angle, horizontal photograph capturing a vast reflection in a large puddle on a muddy field during sunrise. The sky is filled with rhythmic rows of dark, textured clouds, with a vibrant orange and golden glow visible along the horizon. The still water creates a near-perfect symmetrical mirror image of the dramatic sky and the morning light. The horizon is lined with the dark silhouettes of trees and low buildings. The image features enhanced color contrast, emphasizing the deep, moody tones of the clouds against the fiery light of the dawn.
