SCOOP: A pro-AI dark money group backed by a powerful super PAC funded by execs tied to Palantir and OpenAI, has been secretly paying influencers to push pro-AI, anti-China propaganda on TikTok and IG. wired.com/story/super-pac-ba…

Jesus christ. Palantir and OpenAI execs got caught real bad here. They hired an agency to try get left wing creators to shill for big AI industry. Some creators refused (good on them) Any time you see an IG video from a creator saying they love AI, it's probably paid content.

so fascinating to me how society treats being sick (especially long-term) as some sort of moral failure, but spreading sickness to other people isn't. not enough to actually stop doing it, at least.

Lovely weather, isn't it?šŸŒž Unless you're a nocturnal animal who has to sleep all through the hot day, and wake at night to find no water. No puddles. No kind dishes. Unseen. Unthought of. Just the tantalising smell of water from a pond you may drown in, or a drain you may get trapped in, or a stagnant, dirty old birdbath you may get fatal fluke from. Hedgehogs need to drink a lot of water to stay healthy. Please provide clean, fresh, safe ground level water for our precious wildlife. Tap water is best. Pop a dish or two out tonight. Keep it clean. Keep it full. Keep it saving lives.ā¤ļø

It’s no coincidence birdsong regulates our nervous systems & lowers cortisol. Birdsong is how birds announce the area is free from predators. They don’t just signal safety to fellow birds, they signal to the entire ecosystem. The human brain attuned to this signal over centuries.
High-frequency patterns in birdsong can signal safety to the brain, helping the body unwind, ease stress, and restore mental clarity. At times, nothing soothes the mind more effectively than the quiet rhythms of the natural world.

if men stopped doing all the heavy duty, necessary, dirty jobs that make the world run...women would do them. we already know this, it happened in WWII. if women stopped doing the thankless, routine care work that makes the world go round, vulnerable people would be neglected.

What he was protesting was Trump using PEPFAR to force countries to give up rare minerals in exchange for HIV drugs. There is no bottom.
The chief science officer of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has stepped down and penned a withering online critique of President Donald Trump’s global health policies. scim.ag/42ssHuZ

The headline says that the costs of Trump’s tantrums are ā€œstarting to showā€. I don’t think Americans get that for Europeans, the Greenland debacle changed everything. It’s over. No one can trust the US. It’s not because of Trump. It’s because we know your system can’t/ won’t stop him or the next guy after him. And also that there’s enough of you who think it would be ā€˜cool’ to invade just to rub it in our faces. That’s a good enough reason to never trust you again and make everything far more transactional.
In the United States, President Trump’s periodic insults hurled toward allies get treated as routine tantrums. But in those countries, the accumulation of abuse has reached a tipping point. My latest column: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

We can finally stop pretending we don’t know how OpenAI and the rest of the Silicon Valley AI cartel intend to stay profitable. The answer is, and always has been, war. If you consider the monstrous infrastructure required to sustain these systems. We are talking about colossal, billion-dollar data centers. We are talking about tens of millions of dollars burned daily just on cooling systems, the relentless, devastating strip-mining of the earth for rare-earth metals to build their GPUs, and the astronomical power consumption required to train these massive models. Then you'd realise that there is absolutely no way they are recouping hundreds of billions of dollars from $20 monthly subscriptions and a handful of API tokens. Every single wire, every server farm, and every algorithm was designed from the ground up for military contracts, autonomous weapons, and global surveillance. Mega-corporations are the true, unmasked face of evil we need to fear and not the pathetic, spineless puppet politicians they buy, lobby, and install into power to act as their PR mouthpieces. People condemn the "British Empire" for its savage imperialism in Nigeria, completely forgetting the Royal Niger Company, the ruthless, profit-driven private corporation that actually bought, sold, and brutalized the region while hiding behind a corporate charter. People remember Hitler as the singular monster of the Holocaust, but they conveniently grant amnesia to IBM, who built the punch-card tracking systems that organized the extermination camps. They forget JP Morgan, British Petroleum, Standard Oil, IG Farben, and the rest of the corporate titans that funded the fascist machine, supplied the fuel, and provided the logistical backbone that made such an industrialized horror a reality. People blame George W. Bush for the Iraq War which turned into dirty slaughterhouse that eradicated millions of Arab lives and sacrificed thousands of American troops. But they conveniently look the other way when it comes to Halliburton, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and the rest of the defense and oil conglomerates that bathed in the blood of the Middle East and walked away pocketing hundreds of billions of dollars. You look at these slick, modern corporations with their fancy campuses and you wonder how they sustain their endless wealth? The answer is terror, the answer is wars and endless wars. If the American hegemony were to miraculously collapse tomorrow, do you really think the wars would stop? Nope, not even for a second. These corporate parasites hold no loyalty to any flag. They will simply and happily pack up, migrate to another global superpower, change their letterheads, shuffle a few board members, and continue spreading terror and devastation across the globe to feed their own insatiable greed. It is an endless cycle of parasitic migration: from Britain, to Germany, and then directly into the veins of America. America today will beat its chest on the global stage, claiming to be the supreme fighter of "Antisemitism" and the supreme defender of human rights. Yet they conveniently omit that after World War II, under Operation Paperclip, the United States gleefully absorbed the very architects of the Nazi regime. It was the exact same fascist scientists, the complicit corporate bankers, the brutal intelligence officers, the chemical engineers, and the rocket manufacturers who facilitated the Holocaust that moved to America. The US swallowed them whole, along with their blood-stained equipment, their stolen trade secrets, and their patents. The only difference now is the crosshairs. Their target is no longer European Jews; the crosshairs are fixed squarely on the rest of the Global South. The names of the companies and their leaders have all changed, but the core, venomous philosophy of absolute imperialism is still very much alive, breathing, and hungry for its next war.

If you have kids who are into space, I can’t recommend Astronaut Sophie’s content, especially her videos, highly enough. I’ve learned a TON, and she’s really upbeat and fun in her science demos. She’s on Insta at the same handle.
Day 070, orbit 1085 — In microgravity, astronauts’ eyes can be affected because fluids in the bodyĀ shift upward, changing the pressure around and inside the eyes. This is known as Spaceflight‑Associated Neuro‑Ocular Syndrome (SANS) and it can lead to farsightedness and changes in visual sharpness. To keep a close eye on this šŸ˜‰, we undergo regular vision checks throughout the mission. These involve several tests, including an OCT - Optical Coherence Tomography (šŸ“·). OCT takes detailed images of the back of the eye, including the retina, which are sent to our flight surgeons to monitor how our eyes respond to living in microgravity! Changes related to the SANS syndrome are usually reversible after our return to 1g gravity. However, the lessons learned by monitoring astronaut’s eyes in microgravity help doctors on Earth better understand how pressure and fluid shifts affect vision, and how to protect something as precious as our eyesight. šŸ“ø @esa / @NASA #εpsilon • @Space_Station • @esaspaceflight • @NASA_Johnson •

I don’t care if someone works in an office, a warehouse, a restaurant, or cleans floors. If you give 40 hours of your life every week, you should be able to pay rent, buy groceries, cover your bills, and still have enough left to breathe a little. That shouldn’t be some dream. It should be normal. The fact that so many people work full-time and still live stressed, behind, and one emergency away from disaster tells you this system is failing the people who keep it running.
