No industry is perfect. But the imbalance is hard to miss. One sector must prove its products are safe & effective. The other profits by avoiding that responsibility. If we care about transparency and accountability, scrutiny shouldn’t be one-sided. (Source: For The Greater Glory of Science) #EpiSky

I can't applaud right now but I'm giving jazz hands to this thread.
A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

UK immigration consultation. Designed terribly and probably intentionally to make it difficult to disagree, but worth doing if you do.
Here's the link if you would like to have a go:
Earned settlement
The government is consulting on how the current settlement system should be reformed and how those reforms should be implemented.

That's exactly what it is.

@monicamedhist.bsky.social for the win! This thread is pure awesomeness and a fantastic example of 1) #ImagingProblems 2) what can happen when we deign to imagine the possibility that medieval women (gasp) had thoughts and knowledge and wrote things!
Oh wow! This is what happens when you're photographing MSS & don't capture the text in the inner gutter. 1st, here's the photograph (made about 100 yrs ago) of the Codex Salernitanus, f. 82ra. Although that big tear of the page is obvious, the inner gutter hasn't been fully captured in the photo.

That in addition to the widespread use of mines, white phosphorus etc has been part of Israel’s arsenal for decades. That’s how ecocide is committed on a mass scale, and how large parts of where I’m from - Lebanon/Palestine - is rendered unliveable by the West’s favourite genocidal state

It’s a bit funny to me when folks accuse anti-AI artists of “gatekeeping.” My dude, Midjourney charges you $60 a month for images, while real artists remind you that you can make it for free and experience the joy of the process. So who’s really gatekeeping?
