Your bones may seem like the most permanent part of your body: solid and finished. But they’re under constant renovation. In an article for @theconversationuk.bsky.social Professor Annie Curtis explains how our bones’ daily cycles could improve our quality of life. More: tinyurl.com/zf34vkep

Bones are much more dynamic than scientists once believed – they even have a daily rhythm

Your bones run on a 24-hour clock too and disrupting it with late nights and screens could be weakening your skeleton.

Recently on the show, Eleanor speaks with Heidi Lim of AI Resist List about reframing the conversation around AI, and the possible futures that both buck the current iteration of AI and avoid the binary of anti-tech vs. pro-tech. www.projectcensored.org/reframing-ai...

Reframing AI: Human Creativity as Resistance

Explore AI literacy, creative resistance, and how reframing better tech futures can move us beyond the pro- vs. anti-AI divide with Heidi Lim of AI Resist List.

The names of 341 former Christian Brothers have been published in the Irish Independent following an order from the High Court in relation to an abuse case. None of those named are accused of abuse, but their names have been published in the hope that they will come forward. jrnl.ie/7120723

The most likely explanation is some kind of auditory hallucination—which raise a fair few questions themselves, none of which I’m qualified to answer. Anyway, it’s also the 449th anniversary of the Devil’s hound—oh, and the Ghosts of Versailles are coming up on 10 August...

Odd This Day@oddthisday.bsky.social · last yr.

Brace yourselves. It’s the 448th anniversary today of the documented and very real appearance of the Terrifying! Satanic! One-Eyed! ghost dog Black Shuck at two churches in Suffolk, where he wilfully murdered “two persons, as they were kneeling uppon their knees, and occupied in prayer”

Title page of 1577 pamphlet: "A straunge, and terrible Wunder wrought very late in the parish church of Bungay: a town of no great distance from the citie of Norwich, namely the fourth of this August, in the yeere of our Lord 1577. in a great tempest of violent raine, lightning, and thunder, the like wherof hath been seldome seene. With the appeerance of an horrible shaped thing, sensibly perceiued of the people then and there assembled. Drawen into a plain method according to the written copye. by Abraham Fleming."

Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia It's been a year & people tell me they've changed their mind, feel safer now to sign, etc. So I'm sharing it again for them. We're almost at 2k & anybody from anywhere can add their names. openletter.earth/open-letter-...

We call upon you to: • Resist the introduction of AI in our own software systems, from Microsoft to OpenAI to Apple. It is not in our interests to let our processes be corrupted and give away our data to be used to train models that are not only useless to us, but also harmful. • Ban AI use in the classroom for student assignments, in the same way we ban essay mills and other forms of plagiarism. Students must be protected from de-skilling and allowed space and time to perform their assignments themselves.

LinkedIn management: AI posts are costing too much and driving users away LI devs: we need to train our AI to appear closer to actual human writing LI marketing: we need a positive news story “Seems like AI slop” button was borne.

Glendon Mellow@flyingtrilobite.com · 7d ago

Adding the "Seems like AI slop" reporting option on LinkedIn is not only brilliant, it's probably also an act of desperate self-defence against the volume of slop on this platform. It's legit, this is a screencap I just took. #NoAI

Screencap of my LinkedIn, showing a post with the reporting drop down open, and "Seems like AI slop" as an option.

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

I'm calling on Jim O'Callaghan to approve visas for students from Gaza who have been granted scholarships to Irish universities. His reasons to deny them are unjustifiable, nonsensical &cruel. This needs to change! Will you add your name to the petition now? my.uplift.ie/petitions/vi... @uplift.ie

The point isn't to produce essays, it's to teach students how to think for fuck's sake. The minute you automate that, it's over. You might as well close the course. Which they're also doing. This is an attack on learning, and everyone is just shrugging.
