Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

A Missouri S&T professor has developed a cheaper way to create “organs on a chip” using off-the-shelf 3D printers.
The technology could make drug and disease testing more accessible while reducing reliance on animal and human trials.

Mississippians flourished on the North American continent from circa 800 to 1600 CE. They built large, earthen platform mounds in a series of urban settlements and satellite villages linked together by loose trading networks. The largest city was Cahokia, located in present-day southern Illinois.

Homey little songs about how cities are amazing and you feel good when you wander around them and they're where you're from and you couldn't imaging living anywhere else are one of my favorite microgenres.
We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

there are many reasons why it is so important that ALL Epstein's accomplices are taken to court for a proper process, including: (1) The victims need closure. (2) If most of his accomplices escape the law, it is a victory for violent patriarchy, and (3) will solidify the power of the ultrawealthy.
