Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983) is a bit tired.

Big spider is hanging on the bathroom wall, with its back towards the floor, looking dead. When I gently blew at it, it moved legs lazily but remained in this position.

Same, bathroom spider. Same.

Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures! These sewing #needles were made from animal bone some 15,000 years ago. Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start. Form follows function! 🧵1/2

Tämä on joka päivään hyvä muistutus. RKP yrittää edelleen epätoivoisesti luoda itsestään liberaalimielikuvaa. Tosiasiassa se kuitenkin on puolue, jolla olisi valta torpata äärioikeistohallituksen sekoilu koska ja milloin tahansa.

Ja silti, joka päivä se valitsee äärioikeiston tukemisen.
Näinkin kyllä. Muistutan kuitenkin että ilman RKP:tä meillä ei ehkä olisi äärioikeistoa hallituksessa.

Tämä on huikean hyvä teksti Emilialta. Talousmiehet, oligarkit, poliitikot ja taloustieteilijät ovat nyt alkaneet metsäsumutuksen, ettei suomalaisen metsäteollisuuden tarvitsisi vieläkään uudistua. Sumuttaessa lentää roskiin tosiasiatieto, tieteen kunnioitus ja käytöstavatkin. Kiitos!
#yhteiskunta
Journalismi päästää vallakkaat helpolla ja mätkii vallattomia – paras esimerkki tästä on Björn Wahlroos
Miksi suomalainen media antaa vuosikymmenestä toiseen yhden oligarkin esittää tiedevastaisia näkemyksiään totena samaan aikaan, kun tavan kansalaisia roimitaan olan takaa?

Sometimes, cats want to be near us without directly interacting with us, and I think we should respect that.

Tämä. Olen myös jo pitkään ihmetellyt, miksi ajatellaan, että asumislisät ja muut tuet ovat tulonsiirto rikkailta köyhille, kun nehän ovat tulonsiirto veronmaksajilta yrityksille, jotka voivat niiden varjolla pitää palkat alhaisina ja jakaa rikkaille lisää osinkoja.
Miksi sitten heikennätte AY:n toimintamahdollisuuksia ja työehtosopimusjärjestelmää? Nehän ovat ainoat instituutiot, jotka huolehtivat, että palkat ovat sosiaaliturvaa suurempia.

Ja miksi tarkoituksella kasvatatte työttömyyttä brassaillen, että työvoiman tarjonta kasvaa?

Kovin on ristiriitaista.

Does anyone know of an artist who has closable realistic ceramic cardboard boxes for sale? Something that looks exactly like a cardboard box but made of clay, has a top, and is actually for sale - not a long ago gallery show or whatever.

Looking for specific leads pls, not "did u try etsy/google".

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Don’t mind my runctitional features.
Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?
