He has the modern day brain rot that all tech companies have to be growing, selling ads, and/or beefing up their buzz to get VC money.
🇺🇸&🇬🇧 politics, food stuff, maybe 🧶 things. High tendency to repost academic job openings of various disciplines. I hate writing bios, if you know me feel free to suggest edits. I'll be over there, reading or playing NMS or ONI probably.

Indeed. End of the day what we can say is it's not for any of us to say what this one individual should or should not be capable of at this time, that's between him, his family, and his doctors. Suggesting he should be able to do something because one other person can is ridiculous.
You might want to look more into her history. She's a good bit unhinged from reality in behavioral terms.
Every Parkinson's patient is different. Plus MJF was very young and has had a lot of experimental interventions. I lost my dad to Parkinson's. His progression was different from every other elder with the diagnosis. Ability to communicate might not be the issue - dementia aspects, sometimes.
Yeah. I told her we still aren't actually sure how dreaming works, but it seems to have to do with our brain cleaning out the corners and putting things away for the day, and how we experience things is always individual. That said, certain themes seem pretty common
This. Also long sleeves can cover up any bruising etc from arm based IVs
What is on in waiting rooms and lobbies tends to reflect the views of the business or org. For example, I was called for jury duty in a very conservative county, they had on Fox News (which is very right biased). Neutrality would be having no news on/no tvs.
Oh good, as a non military American overseas, does this mean I can stop filing taxes since he's going to prevent me from voting? Because without a US residence it's not like I can even just fly back and vote even if that wasn't incredibly expensive.
There are a lot of Americans, particularly high earners, who are satisfied as long as their portfolio is doing well. Somehow the market hasn't completely crashed yet, so these people think it's all not so bad because nothing is affecting them directly yet.
What I don't understand is purported Christians not realizing what it means about a person when someone is using Revelations like a roadmap.
They learned they'd get a bailout.
Yeah I don't understand why he was able to use that platform to put words in the Queen's mouth about an upcoming political vote. That just violates so many norms.
Peripherally related, my child asked me this morning if ND people dream differently than NT people. I told her I don't know, but it would make sense there would be differences. She said someone should research it.
A loooot of them that have ended up where they're not supposed to be have been from improper recycling of equipment - things with cesium in should NOT be sent off to the scrappers but it happens, then everything processed with it is contaminated. Likely what happened with the shrimp container.
There are Bad Things people can do with them, but a lot of times they're taken by accident or by people who don't know what it is. I'm sure it's possible there's mad scientist types that would plan to do something with them but 🤷🏻♀️
Except usually you don't understand how they feel that way. We don't need to coddle bigotry with lies. It is not virtue signaling to tell someone what they just said is bollocks. They're not performing for anyone.
Are we doing full honor funerals for everyone shot by a cop who decides they needed to do that to protect themselves? Because if so, Laura may want to focus on a much larger group of people. What's that? Oh, they have to be white victims? I see.
She does not have an official position. Rumor is her unofficial position is one that relates to the oldest profession, except she's being peddling influence instead of money as a result.
For the people who scoffed at Wikipedia resistance to possibly being forced to ID editors by UK's OSA, under the belief no one could be hurt by such a thing... Yes, adverse govts do go after this info.
It doesn't take much, and to some extent I blame journalists. I understand we are in a clickbait world, but it's negligent when they do huge articles about Farage and fail to mention he's following the MAGA playbook and how that's going. But that guy was informed enough not to want to go tour, so🤷🏻♀️
I know there was one case where a pellet in Australia ended up embedded in a road for a while. Not saying same one, but a lot of them are lost to situations where people didn't know what they had. Which is something of a relief?
Id been hoping they'd decide on an exposure source - id assumed ship or processing plant used some unwisely recycled metals somewhere, didn't consider shipping containers. Was tired of idiots who thought the shrimp were living an irradiated lifestyle. I mean, they are, but not at that level.
The only fly in the ointment here is that many who support us leaving the ECHR believe that the UK government would then maintain all of these rights. It's like Brexit and EU standards all over again, you don't leave an organisation enforcing a minimum standard if you want to increase your standards
I've literally had people tell me (unprompted) how much they like what the US is doing. When I bother to probe it becomes apparent they're severely underinformed and what they like is the idea, but not reality. Irony points to the one who said they've always wanted to visit but not right now 🫠
Not only is it short term recruitment catastrophic, I suspect a lot of unis might respond by moving to a strictly time defined PhD program, which would honestly make them even more like diploma mills. This might not seem like a big deal for some depts, but it's terrible for the sciences
Ahhh the panhandle. The most good ole boy network area of Florida. He's probably got a future with the GOP.
Totally missed somehow the autocorrect redoing color as close 🙄 ah well
Exactly. There's lots of countries with high gun ownership and little problems, like Canada or Switzerland. There's countries that had a massive shooting and did something afterwards and now don't see mass shootings even though guns still exist, like Australia and the UK.
We can actually look at other countries and answer this. We know the answer is not 100% yes, but it cuts the majority of it, slows it down, and means when stuff does happen the body count is a lot lower.

That sounds like it would be really inconvenient for a lot of life activities. I hope the prognosis is good and healing won't take too long? Get your husband to help?
It's a far cry from when police were escorting people into school because we were a nation that believed we shouldn't be categorized by the close of our skin. I'd like to point out that Ruby Bridges is still alive, segregation is not ancient history.
I feel so bad for the kids. Like on the obvious that they were used/endangered in this way, that's the big obvious part. But also, imagine being a kid in the back of grandpas car to get ice cream, then you can't have the ice cream because it was messed with? There's trauma there, too.
Perhaps with a slapophone percussion section? Jarring yet whimsical.
But these are posed portraiture. Someone decided to arrange the children and the guns this way. There is intent, whether conscious or not, in the way the guns are laid out and where the children are standing. They're also usually away from the parents. Most portraits put the family together.
It appears to be written by a fellow named Oliver?
Definite every accusation is a confession material
imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter
Was it a ham sandwich, I wonder 🤔
It would be a sweet irony, I agree! Particularly since it looks like they didn't really consider his original asylum application as it wasn't made in time. Realistically I think they'd have to fight to keep him in the US long enough for a regime change for it to have a chance, though.
I really don't understand why you are fighting the people who would also be fighting for your daughter. I'm sorry you seem to have some anger or something else you haven't dealt with, and I'm sorry your daughter has a dad that feels this way about her.
Its the ones that don't read (anything) that you have to really watch out for. England is going to drag the UK right after the US though, unfortunately.
I don't know what you base the idea of 'they aren't coming for functioning members of society' on. By everything they've already done, it's blatantly obvious they will go for anyone, the easier to get the better. The ones showing up to work, school, etc are so much easier to kidnap.
If I was still in NC I'd absolutely be going to this. Kelly and Jackson are both fantastic. I hope if there's questions someone gets them to discuss the National Guard deployments. Jackson is NG, so I don't know if he can actually opine about it though 🤔
We enjoyed it in our house, too. Kid has been listening to the music on repeat, and some of it is getting regular radio play in England, don't know if that's the case elsewhere.
I've been in the UK 3 weeks, and I am shocked at how much Farage, Yousaf, Tice et al are on UK TV screens. Britain has a serious far-right problem. The ideology of these fascists has been magnified and platformed to the extreme, it has now gotten dangerously out of control. This is totally insane.
'What are the Reasons' 🤣🤣💀 I wish countries would go ahead and issue strong travel warnings so people could get out of preplanned business travel etc. without that the flight info would look even worse.
If you're inclined to learn more about how it was operating and why, this is a really accessible video explainer. From what I understand, they missed some releases due to Covid but now the US role is completely messed up now that USAID is gone.
I'm really disheartened at the UK coverage listing Farage's deportation plans with zero mention that they mirror what Trump is doing. Seems like some good context to provide? Why are they not doing so?
Oh man, parenting advice from strangers in public is the best.
What is different between the Mississippi law from the UK one, for BlueSky? There didn't seem to be any public handwringing over the UK age checks, and I haven't encountered them from other social media.
Yeah. There are things it's fine for, can be helpful. But there's too many people trying to use it for things wwaaaayy outside actual ability, or using it without any oversight or thought. The way it's been marketed certainly doesn't help.
What. The. Fuck. Did. I. Just. Read.
Im honestly really worried at the number of people who will tell me things like how much they love what Trump is doing and how UK should do that here. Like, in person. To my face. I think they expect me to agree with them? Because I'm American? It's disturbing.
People need to stop using ChatGPT and other LLMs for anything where the sole idea of 'does this sound like a plausible human response on the internet' isn't compatible with how they want to use it. Period.
Hope it goes well! I enjoy your photos so have a vested interest in your vision 😜
Yeah just check the trust pilot reviews before you buy and the return policies. The only big thing you don't get from buying online is the optical shop person doing final adjustments on nosepads (if any) and the curvature for the ear. But at massive savings
I am so angry about the screw worm thing and it doesn't even affect me. But the eradication program was a shining example of USAID partnering with other countries to help the US as well as other people. Got dumped into USDA and lost a lot of the institutional knowledge and goodwill.
I dunno, kind of a dreadful view that ;)
I've had a really strong prescription my entire life and I like to order from online shops, no designer frames, much cheaper. That said, your first pair of varifocals are a fiddly enough business it's likely worthwhile to get them from a brick and mortar in case you need adjustments to the Rx
1. If you've scrolled social media lately, you've likely seem Democrats cheering for Gov. Gavin Newsom for trolling Trump relentlessly. You've also likely seen trans people terrified of a Newsom 2028 run. I explain why trans people are not feeling Newsom. Subscribe to support our journalism.
Yep! Kids naturally understand love*, it's when other things get in the way that they have more questions. *Safe kids. I want to acknowledge not everyone grows up that way. Maybe we should all obsess over that, instead of what consenting adults do
Pretty much how it looked in our house when the kiddo was small. Too many adults out there equating love with sex and panicking about kids asking about other relationships because omg they might have to talk about penises or something. No. Kids understand love.
The demographic challenge? It's already there. Why do you think the capitalists are obsessed with ending family planning access?
You're right, let's abandon the (published and heavily cited) work you mentioned (I didn't bother to name drop) that has been embraced by the affected communities to an extent, in favor of the term you prefer because you don't like it. You can say what you want, I'll keep using micro aggression 🤷🏻♀️
Ok, and do you know why Pierce and Sue published about this? I'll give you a hint: they coined (and popularized) the term after looking for a way to describe their own lived experience - which is exactly what I said. Being academics doesn't make them also not minorities who dealt with it in US.
Personally I don't see the need to word police a term a group of people came up with to accurately describe their experience in our society. There was no succinct way to describe a common experience, so a term was born. And it has nothing to do with the intentions of the perpetrators ✌️
Wow he's big mad people who weren't working on a Sunday did a thing. Does he also complain about people doing any other leisure activity? It was a genius move to celebrate things people are actually proud of in NYC.. only weirdos are proud of the policing.
Project 2025 was published for everyone to read six months before the election. What's happening now was detailed; it was not a secret. Those that pretend they didn't know and didn't vote or voted for Trump can only claim willful ignorance.
Frustrating to read all these US screw worm articles that completely leave out the context of the USAID program that had eliminated them through to the Darien Gap. I'm also having issues finding out what went wrong with it, beyond some hand waving at Covid. Closing USAID, perhaps? 🫠
I can see where he might be brilliant in quieter times, when you need someone working almost behind the scenes. That was one of Bidens talents, as well. But this is not the time for that kind of leader.
Ok, what does that statistic look like when you divide by years served? That's also a metric that basically just goes for whoever held the ball at the right time for the longest 🫠 and he didn't secure appointments when it was the most critical for him to do so.
ATTN🚨: I will be looking for PhD students through NYU's Center for Data Science PhD program this year. Applicants should have an interest in either NeuroAI (specifically biological attention or AI interpretability) or ML for Remote Sensing. Visit my lab website for more info: lindsay-lab.github.io
Why do people do this? Could have just scrolled by. Could have checked the media section of your profile and realized it's neither stock nor AI. It's like the new thing, to accuse anything you think is too good or whatever is stock if you can't def clock it as AI. I've seen this happen to photogs!
Except those two words actually mean two related but totally different phenomena. And yes, micro aggression is a mostly subjective word, because it's about the experience of the person, and personal experience is not objective.
They can take a hike. How can we discuss things if we can't use the word for the thing? 🤔
Watch to the end. The plan is to create a settlement where Rafa used to be, for all 2 million displaced Gaza Palestinians, and *once Palestinians enter, they would not be allowed to leave*. The plan is to put the entire population in a concentration camp/ghetto.
Not the thing it used to be. If you want to run for office, you should. Possibly consider something state level first tho? Unless the party people already are wanting you. Just, please, keep your principles! Don't let them turn you into a fundraiser with no soul 😭
I'm not dx, but same. I understand the role of small lies, but the big ones that really impact people, the cheating and swindling and profiting off evil? no.
I went to the zoo ages ago, ended up buying a rain jacket there and didn't mind the zoo markup because no entry fee. Also our umbrellas had died and it was unexpectedly really pouring that day 🌧️ kinda sad because that jacket is now at the 'no longer waterproof' age and I have to retire it :/
I keep expecting to see an announcement they will start charging entry fees and reworking those exhibits. Poor people shouldn't exist, but they certainly shouldn't access museums if they do! (Sarcasm)
The State of Illinois/City of Chicago has some fine history resisting fascism. I think some Blues Brothers joy and antics might be in order

It looks like you subscribed to a moderation list called Trolls, and it is blocking him for you.
Oh but remember, the line isn't 'good', it's 'published' and we all know publishing is an open opportunity level playing field that everyone has the same chance on, right?
It's also an admission they are into it, or else they'd just leave 🤷🏻♀️ a desperate plea for attention (negative is fine, possibly preferred!). Needs therapy.
Specific? Yes. Legitimate? Not to most Americans, or the court system prior to the right wing takeover. This sort of policing has been found unconstitutional on more than one occasion in the past.
Profile of a successful, late diagnosed autistic man.
I loved that. He didn't leave his stuff behind when he was done, like the woman with the rabbits or whatever.
Let me be even more explicit here. Every Democrat with a national profile needs to be on the record condemning Cuomo's "independent" bid. They need to be seen twisting his arm to get him to drop out, and making it clear that he will be a pariah, win or lose, if he doesn't. Yes, seriously.
Game on.
Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.
There's never been an online child safety law that was actually about or effective for children's safety 🤷🏻♀️ they're all deeply flawed and typically completely ineffective. Age check works in person, but doing it remotely is just incredibly invasive/inaccurate/useless.
They do not need to enter school during the school day to accomplish this. Believe it or not, US schools have procedures for when social workers etc want to check on the welfare of students. They *could* just use those, except it's not about welfare, is it?
I don't know the details, but BlueSky was on the front of complying with the UK's age verification which is pretty poorly written. I now cannot access DMs without using a VPN or sending scans of my ID (as if that really proves anything?)
