miku hatsune hugging and slightly hiding behind a large sized pink gloomy bear plush in a dark room. her face looks up from behind the plushie, with concerned or sad eyes and a frown on her lips. the atmosphere is dark and the background looks purple from the room lights.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

We've always changed the way we speak over time. There are a plethora of other words we can use instead. Thanks to neuroplasticity, we can practice and adapt/evolve!

Seems as it's almost October, this is your annual gentle reminder that "sp--ky" and "sp--k" have a racist history in North America. There are so many other words to use (creepy, scary, etc). Stop using that one! More info -> www.npr.org/sections/cod...

We are alarmed as well. If you are in Germany, write to your representatives. You'll find the email addresses here: 👉 tuta.com/blog/chat-co...

Signalapp on X: We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a
catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled
opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could
spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.

did you know that "architeuthis dux" means "most important squid leader" ?

This sperm whale should become the face of every antifascist movement and bring hope to the world

There is no fish too big to fry 🦑🐋

Photo of a sperm whale forcefully monching down on a giant squid, just below the surface of the ocean in broad daylight, looking aggressive and satisfied as its prey squishes in its maw, life and black ink draining from its wriggling body. A squiggly tentacle drapes across the whale reaching to the back of its right fin, as the squid wriggles from the pressure, its head mostly stuffed inside the whale's mouth, out of sight. We can see what appears to be the squid's eye, but is most likely its water siphon (used for jet propulsion), wiggling just outside the jaw, as tentacles curve inward between the whale's narrow lower jaw and wider upper jaw.

This is the second time THIS YEAR that a creature of the deep sea has come up to the surface to show us something typically saved for the depths and give us (what we currently believe to be) incredibly rare footage. I'm neither superstitious nor religious but I think we should take this as an omen

Working with psychiatric patients in an editing workshop

problem
A course with psychiatric patients may fail if participants are not pre-selected.
solution
Make a pre-selection with defined eligibility criteria.

What problem does this solve?
edit
When you want to start an editing course in a hospital or clinic or mental health center, you cannot accept every patient. It is not like a normal editathon or course. Not all referred patients should be accepted directly. A course with psychiatric patients may fail if participants are not pre-selected.
What is the solution?
edit
In this case, a pre-selection must be carried out with defined eligibility criteria, that is, to choose a method for selecting the participants.

Things to consider
edit
Patients with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, somatoform disorders, eating disorders, schizoaffective disorders, and substance use disorders are eligible patients. Patients with intellectual disability or cognitive impairment are not eligible. Within the pathology of schizophrenia, epilepsy, and autism spectrum disorder, however, there are patients with whom one can work very well. In the case of schizophrenia, it must be taken into account that the patient is not going through an acute moment and is compensated or in remission. If the patient has paranoid delusions it is not possible to work well on the Internet. In the case of the autistic spectrum, patients with asperger syndrome are usually very well hooked on editing work. People with obsessive-compulsive disorder can also work very well, as they focus on the details. In the case of addicted patients, one can work well with almost everyone except those with Internet addictions.

There is a lot of misinformation about autism on Wikipedia that need attention 🚨

Pathology paradigm
edit
The pathology paradigm is the traditional view of autism through a biomedical lens, in which it is seen as a disorder characterized by various impairments, mainly in communication and social interaction.[34][35] Those taking this perspective believe that autism is generally a harmful dysfunction.[33] Ways of functioning which diverge from a typical brain are perceived as harmful and disordered and must therefore be treated or cured.[36] The atypical behaviors of autistic individuals are considered a detriment to social and professional success and should therefore be reduced or eliminated through therapy.[37][38]
Advocates with this view include both a small but significant minority of autistic adults and large majority of parents of autistic children, but contain a higher percentage of parents when compared to those adopting the neurodiversity

These advocates believe that medical research is necessary to address the rapid rise in autism diagnoses (sometimes referred to as the "autism epidemic"),[39] reduce suffering, and provide the best outcomes for autistic individuals. In addition to etiological research, other areas of focus may include biology, diagnosis, and treatment, including medication, behavioural and psychological interventions, and the treatment of co-existing medical conditions.[40]
Advocacy groups that focus primarily on medical research include Autism Speaks, the Autism Science Foundation, and its predecessor organizations, the Autism Coalition for Research and Education, the National Alliance for Autism Research, and Cure Autism Now, and the former Autism Research Institute.
