Speaker Johnson's beginning of the end Trump's elfish toady is quickly losing control of the House.

New in PN: Speaker Johnson's beginning of the end

"there is no more authoritative source on what autism is than the perspectives of autistic people"

Here's my belated response to Professor Dame Uta Frith's TES interview in which, among other things, the concept of masking is described as having "no scientific basis"

Thanks! Glad to see a more authentic image being shared. I wanted to point out the other image since even small AI edits can distort reality. I always try to double-check.

Beyond the #science, every image is a thing of beauty.

I think a world-tour exhibition has to happen at one point.

Just to clarify: My comment was about the image being AI-generated, not the truthfulness of the event described in the article. The image itself is not a real photograph, which is what I wanted to highlight.

If you see an image that someone shares as "news" I suggest putting it through an AI detector before sharing it.

Hive marked it as AI.

I ran it through hive and it marked it as AI.

Gary An is the first physician-scientist we featured on @smbmathbiology.bsky.social #BiologyInNumbers. It was interesting to learn why he was doing research let alone in #MathBio. But he had some pretty good reasons for rationalizing why. Find links to the full episode here: smb.org/news/13614506

Promotional graphic for a live online event titled “Preserving the Web in the Age of AI.” The design features a dark green and teal background with futuristic accents. Event details read: “April 28th, 10am PT / 1pm ET, ONLINE.” Text explains that as publishers block archiving in response to AI, the event will explore what happens to the web’s memory, access, and accountability. Speakers include Mike Masnick (Techdirt), Mark Graham (Internet Archive), and Kendra Albert (Albert Sellars LLP), with headshots of each speaker shown. The right side includes a stylized, retro-futuristic illustration of computers, books, and digital media. The bottom right reads “Future Knowledge Podcast Live Recording,” with Internet Archive and Authors Alliance logos displayed.

Thank you for sharing that, Parmvir! It is really helpful and makes me feel less alone about it all. I have saved voicemails from my dad but it's still too hard for me to listen to them. 💗

A few years ago, I made a two color relief print of a quote from George Fox. He was a founder of Quakerism, and he is quoted as saying, "We do not own the earth. Walk gently upon it, so that future generations may do the same."
