Late drop of a big story tonight—the research team that jailbroke AI safety standards with weaponized poems have published their Adversarial Humanities Benchmark, broadening their research through cyberpunk attack-fiction and ADVERSARIAL HERMENEUTICS:
This week's new article is out! Honestly, I can't gush about these fossils enough. Three protomammal embryos, all from a species that survived one of the worst mass extinctions of all time? It's amazing.
You guys call leftists purity testers and all this other shit. You call us pinkos and denigrate us and extremists and all this.
We want your fucking kids to go to school and eat healthy meals and grow up and be safe and have jobs and not be institutionally murdered by the state.
Humble yourselves.
The Forest Service’s proposed closure of research facilities in Hawaiʻi, including the Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry and a biocontrol lab, threatens years of research on biocontrol agents and disease-resistant ʻōhiʻa strains, impacting efforts to protect Hawaiʻi’s forests and watersheds.
Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
“Kiwi Everlee Wihongi has lived in the United States for more than 25 years and is now in an ICE detention centre in California, after a three week visit back to New Zealand.
She lives in Wisconsin, legally, where she has been training to be a welder” www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...
"We are pleased to share more than 125,000 U.S. Supreme Court records and briefs. These materials which span nearly two centuries of American law are now freely accessible online."
"Includes records and briefs spanning cases from 1830 through 2019."
The Jerusalem Cross is a symbol of the Crusades. Disingenuous people argue it’s “just a representation of Christianity and not bigoted”
But we all fucking know the Crusades was about massacring anyone that wasn’t Christian.
Pete Hegseth has a HUGE one tattooed on his chest
It’s a symbol of hate.
Dear filmmakers: The real world is dystopic. Remind us what it looks like when things are good. Show us possibilities to build toward. Inspire us with images of a better future.
This. N95’s can save lives from wildfire smoke. The scientific evidence of the damage caused by Particulate matter is clear and terrifying.
Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

Hegseth saying “The Pharisee Press” should be a fully mask off moment. He is saying “The Jewish Press”. But Christians of all political stripes are so devoted to using Pharisees as a rhetorical prop that liberal Christians regularly insist it’s totally fine, no matter how many Jews try to explain.
The lab diamond industry wants you to believe if you choose a lab diamond your conscience is free and clear. That isn’t true, unless you want to do the legwork behind researching the cutting facility, their practices and conditions.

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun.
And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene.
And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics.
And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

"Several of the PFAS detected in the dolphin milk samples were present at concentrations that could be considered concerning when interpreted using these scaled human health benchmarks."

If you or someone close has been called a “picky eater,” COLOR TASTE TEXTURE may be right for you!
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide that’s all about finding what works for individual sensory needs. For all ages and cooking ability.
Since this has prompted some questions: @nytdiff.bsky.social does not rely on the Wayback Machine. It calls the NYT Top Stories API directly every ten minutes and tracks changes itself.
I personally strongly endorse the Wayback Machine and think the NYT should drop their block.
“Take a moment to think before you dive in. That’s the best advice for Google Photos users, as the company confirms its latest update can scan all your photos to “use actual images of you and your loved ones” in AI image generation.”

Holy crap. Thanks and kudos to whoever made a deal with the devil to unearth these.
"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."
pal just mentioned having to buy tails for his wedding and I asked if the bride would be dressed as Knuckles, suspect I'll be riding that high for 12-24 hours
The desperate campaign to push AI down our throats is just what Nestlé did with baby formula, or Monsanto with patended seeds.
Manufactured Intermediation—inserting a corporate tollbooth into a process that used to be self-sustaining, using a low initial barrier to entry to destroy the alternative.
A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.
In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."
Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!
Something unlikely to happen, but I would love to see, would be an adult Sesame Street spin-off. Not Avenue Q, but just the same combination of Muppet sketches, fake commercials, and indie animation teaching science, politics, media literacy, Spanish, other cultures.
People tried to scam insurance by dressing up as a bear and wrecking luxury cars.
"Investigators then took the video to biologists with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to also look at the video. The biologists said, 'it was clearly a human in a bear suit.'"

lettering is not "just type words on a page and place them where there's room". that's an ignoramus' idea of lettering.
lettering controls pacing. it controls tone. it controls atmosphere. it controls how readable the visuals are, much less the text. letterers get enough disrespect, jfc.
