Thanks. Didn’t realize that, and would never have guessed it from her accent!

Judge: you intentionally drafted this with AI and you intentionally filed it with the court without checking it. How is this accidental? Why weren't you candid with the court?
@kenwhite.bsky.social is it good when a judge says this?
‘Operation Stormy Daniels’ was already taken.
Horrible man. The puss on him when Stephen Fry gave him what for on the existence of God.
Here we go.
I love this so much. Every piece is perfection. No notes.
Trump has been jonesing to launch a nuclear weapon for a decade. He thinks it would be cool and would put him in history’s rarified air.
Needs more “humbled”.
All the people who very loud about a country’s right to defend itself seem to have gone very quiet about that principle.
Percentages aren’t their strong suit. Trump claims he has lowered some prices by 600%.
Really interesting article on how deep-well drilling has compromised ancient and effective engineering. e360.yale.edu/features/ira...
A country facing water bankruptcy gets some rain, it’s all contaminated, and one can only presume it will make its way into aquifers and contaminate the entire water table. Horrific is the right word.
Screenshot from piece: “Frith is right that autism research is at a crossroads. The spectrum model does need refinement. The genetic evidence does point toward meaningful subtypes. The diagnostic system does need to balance accessibility with precision. But the refinement should be additive, not subtractive. It should expand our understanding of autism's diversity, not contract it back to a 1980s archetype. And it should be undertaken with autistic people, not despite them.”
Excellent piece of writing. @drmbothapsych.bsky.social

Partially as I see people I respect like @wiringthebrain.bsky.social @hetanshah.bsky.social sharing something deeply problematic
the reverse version of those “evolution of man” drawings
This is the same depraved shit they did during slavery, I say for the 8 millionth time.
Iran is in the continent of Asia. So is France, no matter what people insist on believing.

"The same article claims that the Enniskillen bomb killed six children. It didn’t; the youngest victim was 20. It claims that Bobby Sands was elected MP in 1981 with 30.4% of the vote. Given that there were only two candidates, this would have been mathematically impossible. In fact, Sands got 51.2% of the vote. In Grokipedia’s main article on Northern Ireland, it says that “on Bloody Sunday, paratroopers killed 14 civilians… initially depicted by some media as unprovoked, though evidence revealed IRA gunfire and nail bombs”. This is the opposite of the truth. Initially, there were claims by the Army that the victims were violent, but evidence disproved this. Other articles contain dangerous open-mindedness about murder. In an entry on loyalist assassin Michael Stone, it posits that “from a loyalist perspective, Stone’s Milltown raid was hailed as a bold tit-for-tat response to IRA aggression, enhancing his status as an icon of defiance and boosting morale among Protestant extremists” while “republican assessments, however, framed the attack as indiscriminate terrorism against civilians”. It claims that “mainstream reporting, while factually recounting events, occasionally reflects institutional biases favoring narratives of loyalist aggression”."
"At the heart of this technology is a black box into which questions go & out of which answers are given —but we’re not allowed to see what precisely goes on inside".

News outlets have to take note of this. A UN commission has found that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet all the legal qualifications of a genocide. This is now officially the Palestinian Genocide and any attempt to claim otherwise is genocide denial. Enough of the ‘Israel’s defending itself’ bollocks.
Reading text out loud to see if it flies in the form we use to communicate is the most powerful copy editor out there. Hello, completely omitted words! We see words that aren’t even there when we read silently.
None of the gasoline going into American cars comes through the Strait of Hormuz. It ain’t the 1970s.
The price of gas rises like a rocket when global oil prices go up, and falls like a feather when they go down.
$15/gallon gas, or even $5 gas, is price gouging.
What a beautiful group of dogs! I hope everybody stays safe.
A lot catchier than wearable surveillance devices.
