@EUCommission

That has to be some of the worst news I have heard in a long time. Who decided this and how can we stop them?

- Who decided that businesses need help replacing skilled workers with cheap and unreliable automation? This will just make things worse for everyone: business owners, workers, clients.
- Who argued that improving public services should be done by buying more stochastic parrots rather than by... actually investing in public services?
- Who could say with a straight face that genAI could ever be trustworthy or human-centric?

And especially, who the hell decided that we all want this slop avalanche so much that it's worth nipping in the bud all the energy consumption saving efforts that we so desperately need to tackle climate change?

AWS is shutting down in solidarity with the US government

Good morning. Starlink has now launched more than TEN THOUSAND satellites into orbit. Nearly 1400 have already been burned up in the atmosphere so far.

Here's a "lovely" image from my Kuiper Belt discovery program with dozens of satellite streaks in a 3 hour stacked exposure from CFHT. This was from 2022, when there were thousands fewer satellites... This is dumb.

(The small streaks that are similar lengths are actually asteroids!)

Vaya vaya. Así que Oatly, la marca súper alternativa y molona de productos veganos, no solamente vende el litro de leche de avena como el doble o el triple de caro que la competencia, sino que es parte de Blackstone, tiene lazos con Israel y ha sido acusada en numerosas ocasiones de green washing.

Hoy haciendo mis cositas me he topado con esto y como se que no podéis vivir sin saber cuál es la primera referencia a un apocalipsis zombi en la literatura, os dejo este texto.

“Si no me das el Toro del Cielo,
romperé las puertas del Inframundo,
haré salir a los muertos para que devoren a los vivos,
y los muertos serán más numerosos que los vivos.”

Del poema de Gilgamesh. La versión más completa que se conserva es asiria, del siglo VIIII o VII, aunque el poema se redactó posiblemente dos o tres siglos antes, en periodo paleobabilonico, a partir de diversos mitos sumerios independientes que podrían remontarse al tercer milenio. Así que todo indica que el primer relato referente a un apocalipsis zombi puede tener unos 5000 años.

A veces está bien recordar que no en todo vamos para atrás y que en la época victoriana se le ponía arsénico al papel pintado, uranio al cristal y plomo a la leche https://mastodon.social/@publicdomainrev/115413176016044104

George Santos—a grown man—was convicted of fraud and stealing more than $500K—Trump commuted his sentence

Eddie Gallagher—a grown man—was convicted of war crimes for shooting a schoolgirl and elderly man from a sniper’s roost—Trump gave him clemency

The Exonerated 5—Black & Latino teens—were falsely accused of rape & murder, & proven innocent—Trump attacked them & demanded their execution

The system isn’t broken—it was built this way on the tenets of white supremacy & access to wealth & power

El periodista francés Raphaël Grably es llevado ante los tribunales por haber denunciado el charlatanismo de los parches anti ondas.

"Me he enterado de que estoy siendo investigado (a raíz de una denuncia de Fazup) por haber afirmado que los parches anti-ondas son una estafa."
