The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.

Taking a brief break from sporadically posting photos of my pitbull to shout this into the void:

I’ve spent the last seven months thinking about the Antichrist, and now those thoughts are published over at @wired.com.

The Real Stakes, and Real Story, of Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Obsession
Thirty years ago, a peace-loving Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the apocalyptic theories of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt. They’ve been a road map for the billionaire ever since.

#Spain's Pedro Sánchez has committed to pursuing democratic regeneration.

Yet as Fernando Casal Bertoa and @josejavierolivas.bsky.social argue on @lseeuroppblog.bsky.social, international indicators point to declining democratic standards since Sánchez came to power in 2018.

En nuestra última investigación, buceamos en las #viviendasprotegidas autonómicas destinadas a alquiler. ¿Cuánto pagan al mes inquilinos? ¿Cuáles son los requisitos de acceso?

Te mostramos cuánto se paga como máximo por una VPO de 70m2 en cada comunidad autónoma ⬇️

A great post from @djnavarro.net, providing an accessible explanation of why statistics that can appear to reveal our ignorance may actually do the opposite. Makes excellent use of #datavis to provide visual support for the argument.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

👉 Exigencias de ingresos muy por encima del salario más común.
👉 Cuotas casi de mercado.
👉 En algunos casos, hasta decenas de miles de euros por adelantado.

Esta es una radiografía de cómo las políticas públicas de alquiler pueden acabar logrando lo contrario de lo que prometen.
Alquiler de vivienda protegida: para rentas superiores a la media y con precios de mercado
Varias comunidades, con Madrid a la cabeza, marcan ingresos mínimos para arrendar vivienda protegida que en algunos casos llegan a superar los 2.000 euros mensuales y máximos de hasta 90.000 euros.

🏠 “Vivienda protegida” suena a refugio, a alquiler asequible.
Pero en España, muchas veces es otra cosa: un negocio para rentas medias y altas, dejando fuera a quienes más lo necesitan.

Bearing your cross is a lot easier with wheels.
A man in a suit walks across a stadium floor carrying a large wooden cross on wheels. The stands are full of people, a big screen shows musicians performing, and a banner overhead reads “Building a Legacy, Remembering Charlie Kirk.” Fox News logo is in the corner.

“Meta has used back-to-school pictures of schoolgirls to advertise one of its social media platforms to a 37-year-old man, in a move parents described as “outrageous” and “upsetting.”

Meta has 100% stopped even *pretending* not to be astoundingly evil.

Great story by my colleagues on the constant political realignment of Grok, the generative AI chatbot over on the other site.

This change to Grok’s answer about the greatest threat to Western civilization is particularly ironic/meta.

Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/t...
Grok used to say that misinformation and disinformation were greatest threat to Western civilization. Elon Musk changed the answer to something more in line with his personal views: “demographic collapse.”
