Starbucks inexplicably advertising AI-generated coffee recipes

Just for this I'm drinking the shitty coffee in the office break room. Starbucks, we don't need AI to create our drinks.

ChatGPT doesn't even have a mouth and most of those who use it are assholes.

National Science Foundation’s future in limbo as Trump eyes cuts The National Science Foundation’s (NSF) future is in limbo as President Trump pushes for more budget cuts and his nominee to helm the research agency awaits Senate confirmation.  Since Trump’s retu…

Nice coverage of what’s happening at NSF from @thehill.com!

Two points from me:

1. NSF staff are hanging in like a hair in a biscuit and the admin isn’t making it easy. It’s a psyop every day.

2. Jim O’Neill is not the one to run NSF. Full stop.

Jay Bhattacharya: Why the NIH is pivoting away from mRNA vaccines

"As a vaccine for broad public use, mRNA technology has failed to earn the public’s trust."

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.

The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.

The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.

It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

I've lived in Northern Ireland all my life and I have heard stupid shit you wouldn't believe about religion. The dumbest stuff from people who think dinosaurs lived 6,000 years ago.

Never heard anyone say 'the Pope doesn't represent the Catholic Church'

Everyday Americans disrupting Vought Hearing to raise awareness of Vought and OMB's plan to cut the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, which provides critical HIV treatment to 25-26 million people throughout 50 countries globally. #PepfarSavesLives

If Arizona needs a new Senator, I’m available.

Lmao like the problem with the image was that it wasn't an unedited photograph?

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores.

The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.

Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

Should be part of his next test.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

You defended the famous, influential man behind these headlines and said he was suppressed.

Teach me how you are a warrior for free speech.

I have so much to learn from you!

THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.

If he weren't leading one of the most powerful countries on Earth, it would be fascinating to watch the effects of dementia manifest on an individual with severe narcissistic personality disorder.

But oof, when he has access to this much power it's not fascinating. It's horrifying.

*to the tune of sweet caroline*
Pope's weak on crime
Ba ba baaaaa

The Pope is WEAK on crime is so gd funny; I am HOWLING

Pope Leo on an airplane, standing in the aisle, holding a baseball bat.

Say "weak on crime" again. I dare you.

(no disrespect to the cartoon Looney Tunes who have generally been pretty anti-fascist [though NOT without problems, esp back in the day]). All disrespect to Viktor Orbán and those who emulate him.

Watching Bugs Bunny perform Hungarian Rhapsody No 2 in honor of ousting a Looney Tunes dictator is my therapy for the day.

youtu.be/WqGEeymMzQM?...

Thrilled to hear Orban conceded. May this be the first fascist in a series of many to lose.

one reason you dont elect racists is they think “it will be so easy” to win a war in the middle east based on nothing more than what they believe is their superior dna

Just yesterday I walked by people speaking Polish, French and Spanish and I thought to myself "it's so cool that I live in a place with so many interesting cultures! I love my neighborhood!"

Pretty weird that this is something someone would dislike.

This is a disgrace to the NAS and calling you out and boycotting the event are the least the scientific community can do under these circumstances.

None of the speakers (esp Bhattacharya) care about any "debating" that occurs at these events. They won't listen to other scientists who conflict with their agenda. Their goal is to use the NAS to legitimize the destruction of American science and you handed them this on a silver platter.

Headline reads: White House budget seeks to scrap 54 major NASA science missions. Over an image of Jupiter.

Experts found that the White House budget request for the upcoming fiscal year could defund 54 NASA science missions, including a spacecraft currently studying Jupiter and two planned Venus missions: www.scientificamerican.com/article/whit...

SPLASHDOWN!!!

Three cheers for science, engineering, research, curiosity, cooperation.

Look what the fuck we can do when we ask big questions, work together, and fund our scientists.

Congratulations, NASA. Congratulations, humanity!
