Nå men folkens, jeg har opdaget at Bluesky kan snakke med Mastodon (og Threads), så nu vil jeg gerne prøve om det er farbar vej at droppe min Bluesky konto men stadig følge jer underbare mennesker jeg kender her.

#Duolingo 's pivot to #AI is going just swell, I see.
Screenshot of Duolingo's math app failing at middle school level arithmetic because the geniuses in Silicon Valley decided they'd rather spend a ton of resources doing it wrong than doing it right basically for free like computers have reliably done for the last 50 years.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

He even hints at that in the intro to the song - he refers to Danny Kaye's song about Stanislavsky, and says "I thought it would be interesting to stea... uh, to *adapt* this idea to the field of mathematics..."

Kender det. Selv arbejdede min mor ikke om sommeren, men vi havde sjældent råd til at tage nogen steder hen, så vi var mest hjemme og havde sjældent noget spændende at deltage i snakken med.

Rest in peace, Tom Lehrer. It's a testament, either to your wit or to the stupidity of the world, or to both, that your 60 years old songs still feel fresh and relevant to this day.

This article is talking about an ideal beach body so I think it's time to grow a carapace and six extra legs.

Any tips on scuttling.

At our demonstration today, I'm holding a placard stating
"I support
Palestine.
Action
must be taken."
My aim is to highlight the absurdity of the government dictating what can and cannot be said by peace-seeking people

One of the reasons the MAGA movement was so successful is because they welcomed people in that felt the Democratic Party wasn’t meeting their needs.

Trump used faux-populist rhetoric and his movement welcomed people in.

We should learn from that, we don’t have to compromise our values, either.

Campaign for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese, and the doctors of Gaza.

Personally, I think the Nobel Peace Prize is so tainted that it doesn't deserve someone as upstanding and steadfast as Albanese, but OK

Nobel Peace Prize for Francesca Albanese and the doctors of Gaza
Netanyahu just nominated Trump for the Nobel peace prize. Let’s show that the world thinks - Francesca and Gaza doctors deserve it instead!

...Otherwise the new government will also be dependent on outside support to stay in power, and will in effect be a puppet government or a failed state. We've seen it over and again.

Meddling from the outside has rarely done anything good for a country.

Building a movement strong enough to overthrow the system without outside meddling is a necessary step to make sure you have something strong and coherent enough to put in its place....

The NATO member parts of Europe are more than capable of defending themselves already, so no, when we more than double our military budgets, it is obviously not a matter of defense, but of establishing dominance.

The only people who benefit from this arms race is the US and EU military industries.

And yet it seems strongly preferable to US- led "regime chance", as the experience of most of Iran's neighbors clearly shows.

I don't think there's a single of Iran's neighboring countries I would rather live in than Iran. And no, this is not an endorsement of the Islamic Republic.

... And do you sincerely believe that a military alliance between highly aggressive nations suddenly becomes peaceful and defensive just because it promises it's only for defense?

You are talking about Europe as if it were one political power which it is not. European NATO member countries on the other hand have been busy as aggressors since WWII. And while NATO or "Europe" were never invoked as formal belligerents, NATO networks, weaponry and expertise certainly has.

Russia will not accept a NATO expansion in their previous sphere of influence, and have been very open about that. You can say that should be each country's own choice but that has never been the case anywhere. NATO insisted and duped Ukraine into thinking they could win a war over this question.

Your question is built on at least one false premise: that there is an imminent risk of Russian aggression against the rest of Europe, and that NATO can in any meaningful sense be said to be on the defensive relative to Russia.

I recommend you look deeper. There is a pattern, but it's not "Putin loves wars".

Even if we assume, for the sake of argument, that Russian aggression against main Europe were a major threat, we already outnumber and outgun Russia significantly. We don't secure peace by chasing dominance.

It's funny how it's always us who oppose militarism who are called "naive", as if there's anything particularly savvy about paranoid delusions.

Your childish cartoon fantasies of white hats and black hats are deadly dangerous and highly irresponsible.
