I've long been a fan of her climate activism, but I didn't know she was also advocating for Gaza. Good on her.

Really impressive from Yorke that he manages to make Piers Fucking Morgan look enlightened on Gaza.

If I were a betting man, I'd wager this woman spends a lot of time scrolling through right-wing posts on Facebook about the "invasion" of Britain. A Brexit type, if you will.

That's just speculation in this specific case, but the amount of fear-mongering right-wing content on social media is absolutely a contributor to this kind of worldview more broadly.

There was a guy who took his guitar before the Portland City Council and sang a song about induced demand. If you build more lanes, more drivers will come and fill them.

I once had the pleasure of cycling the Shimanami Kaido in Japan, a bike route that connects the islands of Honshu and Shikoku, hopping between all these minor islands on the way over suspension bridges carrying the main highway.

The bike lane is protected the whole time. In one case, the bike route is actually below the deck of the bridge, and you're on a fenced-in catwalk hundreds of feet over the channel between the islands. Views for miles over Osaka bay.

Honestly, when I look back at my life, it's probably my favorite thing I've ever done. If only the U.S. invested in bike infrastructure like that.

Opinion section of the newspaper, as in position pieces written by guests rather than reporting by news desk staff.

However, it is also a fact that Israel is committing war crimes up to and including genocide.

"Recommended by the UN" is the exact same fucking thing as "created by the west." Who do you think holds and has historically held power at the UN besides all the same colonial powers of the west? An absurd lie to claim this distinction is a difference.

Nothing in this comment is racist. Israel colonized (and continues to incrementally colonize more of) Palestine. It is also committing genocide, according to a wide range of scholars on genocide. Therefore, it is a genocidal colony.

But while there is nothing racist in that statement, you are by contrast a despicable racist. Apologetics defending the ethnic cleansing and mass murder of children - slaughtering indigenous peoples in their homeland based on ethnic background - is as racist as it gets. Your defense of white supremacy is unforgivable.

Did this show get any better?

Apparently, the source material is supposed to be good. I gave it three episodes but was pretty disappointed by the animation quality and pacing.

Wondering if anyone who stuck with it thinks it's worth it.

87% decline in Tesla sales in Quebec, on the heels of similar news across Europe and Asia. Let the good times roll.

You'd think North Korea would applaud the U.S. for continuing to bankrupt itself with a long series of expensive military follies.

Unstable, yes. Equilibrium... no.

She sometimes maintains coherence for several responses, but at a certain point, the output devolves into rants about how environmentalists caused the California wildfires.

These conversations consume a lot of energy and provide very limited benefit. We're beginning to wonder if the trade-offs are worth it.

In an AI model collapse, AI systems, which are trained on their own outputs, gradually lose accuracy, diversity, and reliability. This occurs because errors compound across successive model generations, leading to distorted data distributions and "irreversible defects" in performance. The final result? A Nature 2024 paper stated, "The model becomes poisoned with its own projection of reality."

A remarkably similar thing happened to my aunt who can't get off Facebook. We try feeding her accurate data, but she's become poisoned with her own projection of reality.

You mean... exactly what they're already doing and will definitely continue to do?

Yes.

Terrible journalism. The author entirely neglects the fact that lemurs possess fingers even smaller than those of Chinese women. Why not have lemurs manufacture iPhones, given the particular daintiness of their digits? A true investigative journalist wouldn't leave such crucial avenues of inquiry unexplored.

The first season or season and a half are pretty grueling. I found it hard to watch at times. But as it got later into the show it really hit its groove. Still, I get where you're coming from.

SpaceTime and 3Blue1Brown are good science educators for the college level.

Veritasium is good for the middle/high school level.

Kurzgesagt is probably useful for an infant. Or like a smart dog. Maybe an Australian shepherd.

Garbage channel.

Wouldst thou like the taste of butter?

I'll bet they don't really like the Sex Pistols, either.

If Apple is the importer of record for its products, then it does incur and pay the tariff to the U.S. government. But obviously that gets passed along to consumers as no company will simply eat the cost.
