something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.

I'm sorry, WHAT? No healthcare professional should be wearing the pervert glasses during an examination

Heute soll die #Geheimdienstreform zu #BND und #BfV durchs Kabinett gehen. Bei uns findet ihr viele Einordnungen zu dem Gesetzentwurf - auch abseits der spektakulären Schlagzeilen über "echte" und "entfesselte" #Geheimdienste. 💡 Unsere erste Einordnung: netzpolitik.org/2026/geheimd... 1/3

Zeitenwende für Spione

Bundesnachrichtendienst und Verfassungsschutz sollen „echte“ Geheimdienste werden, sagt Innenminister Dobrindt. Jetzt zeigt der Entwurf für die Komplettreform, was das heißt: Zurückhacken, Abschnorche...

Besides JKR is evil & she's admitted it's her mission to keep making money to be evil with, I want to hit on a point that critics seem to have lost. Sean touches on it a little. NOT EVERYTHING HAS THE RIGHT TO EXIST. Just because something is made doesn't mean you have to accept its terms.

Sean T. Collins@seantcollins.com · 19h ago

The push for Harry Potter the TV show is going to be completely enormous—they're debuting it on fucking Christmas—and it is the responsibility of TV critics to contextualize this as rewarding the world's most transphobic billionaire (which is saying something) in everything we write about it.

Es passiert etwas Historisches - die Reform der Nachrichtendienste zu Geheimdiensten wird am Vormittag vom Kabinett beschlossen - die Dimension für Deutschland und seine Geschichte kann man gar nicht hoch genug einschätzen www.sueddeutsche.de/meinung/komm... @ronensteinke.bsky.social

To put this into perspective: If you aim your camera at something in your home and ask about its price or something, Google can train AI on that photo/video, and whatever it happens to capture of your home/kids/conversations.

Google is auto-opting us into letting them not only save, but train AI on *any media* uploaded during *any* search interaction, including regular Search, Maps, Lens, Translate, Shopping, Flights, etc. Turn off "Search Services History", and delete *all your past data* (reason in thread below).

Not that again Not that there aren’t enough allegations against the moderation on that sub. Bias against certain topics was already more than obvious, but defending GC’s shit disinfo is another dimension of obvious moderation feature abuse.

Time for aaaaaaah

no wonder you can't sleep

workers also planted flags outside the office, one for each laid-off dev. the union sent me a video of all of them, and the number is truly striking. imagine just... ignoring that

This post just popped up on my Facebook from a page with tens of thousands of followers. Behind the black box are the names of 10 children the OP is alleging to be trans. The post also include photos of all 10 children, and the name of the schools they attend. They’re now doxxing minors.

i think people calling things "larping" when they actually mean "being a poser" has become my newly-invented, highly specific strain of pet peeve. like leave actual larping out of this ffs.

Dear cis people, Please, for the love of G-d, stop using the terms "biological male" and "biological female." They're scientifically meaningless. Sex is a bimodal cluster categorization. The brain is biological, no? There is no one factor that's universally determinative of sex and gender.

Webtoons going all in on AI.

This venerable lady leafcutter perched on my hand and let many people photograph her for the Uplands Bioblitz bee walk. So grateful. She is worn and tattered and still working the gumweed. #victoriabc

I didn’t even see this had been announced. I was lead writer on this one! And Saber replaced me with ChatGPT midway through development. All the passenger voices were AI too. Either they changed direction at some point or they’re not disclosing it on Steam

Sneak peak! Whimsy is finally back this Thursday 🌀✨ We've gotten tons of request for overalls. Hope this scratches that itch! 👀 TrueRef: Just the reference you were looking for

If you’re living with tricky mental health, chronic illness,not good thought pathways caused by others’ behaviour, a trickily wired brain,you’re worried about climate change or you’re just feeling shite today, then hi, me too. This photo’s for your brain-a miniature posy from my garden in a thimble:

Hi, betreibt jemand einen Shop auf Etsy und kann aus eigener Erfahrung über die Identitätsverifizierung auf Etsy berichten? Für eine Recherche suche ich nach Menschen, die ihre Identität auf Etsy in den letzten Wochen bestätigt haben. Meldet euch gern per DM oder Mail bei mir! Danke!

If you're in the UK, especially if you're Cisgender, today is a good day to start wearing a Trans Pin. That bastard EHRC guidance comes into effect today, and we need to know who our friends are.

Das Krasse ist vor allem: Die Forschenden haben von sich aus sichergestellt, dass keine Viren entstehen, die auch höhere Organismen (Eukaryoten) infizieren können, wohingegen selbst in den Leitlinien (kein Gesetz) der Weltgesundheitsorganisation KI-erzeugtes Erbgut nicht einmal erwähnt wird... 🧪

Lorenz Adlung@lorenzadlung.com · 2d ago

In @science.org wurde jetzt erstmals beschrieben, wie Forschende mit KI neue Virengenome erzeugt haben. Es waren "nur" Bakteriophagen, und eher die Umschreibung einer Vorlage als eine Neuschöpfung, aber Regierungen sollten JETZT generative Genomik regulieren: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Desperate to find part of full time work, if anyone happens to know of openings that could use someone who has both comms/marketing skills, as well as a PhD in Genomics
