Klein has written a book about Wolf’s derangement and the role of social media celebrity.

Link. The long claw of Xi pursues China’s heroes into Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia. Mao but with far more power.

Link. A strong resemblance is likely, so the eyewitness agreement adds little.

Link. Xi commands employment for the young.

Link. Oddly interesting

Link. Bullshit jobs? “Conference Board does a very detailed running survey of job satisfaction in the U.S., and although satisfaction was indeed low at the time Graeber wrote his essay, it has since recovered strongly, and is now higher than it’s been at any point since the survey began back in 1987”

Link. SCOTUS is not a guide to ethical behavior.

Link. “If your document is larger than 500 MB and you aren’t using Apple File System (APFS) or you’re using an older version of Pages, Numbers, or Keynote, the app might prompt you to save the document as a package.”

Weird. I think you want to convert to single file when you update Pages to a more recent version. I wonder if the Package version doesn’t really work with iCloud Drive.

Link. 3.7 million babies are born in US yearly. So this would be 0.3% of births. 57% of procedures were on chest.

Link. I would clip a line from the infant seat to my belt each time I sat in the driver’s seat.

Once it surprised me.

Link. Prediction incorporates quantum foam space time. Result matches a lattice simulation; but we don’t understand the simulation.

Hoping for failure of the standard model.

Link. They are prisoners pending payments. About a billion a person. But it is Iran’s money.

Link. We can make people age faster … but not slower. “his research on the epigenetic clock made him doubt that people would ever live past the maximum human life span of about 120 years”

Link. The teary part comes from stories of her will and her family support.

Link. Visiting aliens travel on unshielded fusion reactor.

“strong ionising radiation changes the electrochemical structure of fungal melanin, increasing its ability to act as a reducing agent[3] and transfer electrons”

Link. Speech given by minister. Xi showed up later. Most likely health … we may never know.

Link. Subtitles needed. Soon software will tweak spoken audio.

Link. The crowds came later. Hope for those who get the death slot on the agenda.

We don’t know why some GLP-1 cause more weight loss than others. 500% increase in brain levels. Drugs in development even more effective.

Link. NASA’s InSight lander data combined with 1970s Viking lander data.

Link. “In 1957, a group of nine Black teenagers, escorted by the U.S. National Guard, integrated Little Rock Central High School as white protesters spit and jeered.”

Link. “a 400-year-long period of massively elevated wildfire … at the end of that period, you’re in a different ecosystem and all of the megafauna are gone.”

Link. Obsessive men produce tens of thousands of prompt-generated porn images. Porn pioneers again.

Link. “Never apologize” makes sense. The mob is beyond that

Link. $3 for Safari but free extension for Chrome. I need this.

Link. Apple is kinda dumb.

Link. This guy was a genius. (I do not like Adobe but wow, he invented a lot.)

Link. His power is real. If you are on X read this and leave it now.

Link. Slave trades got the attention but the 20th century, when GOP became the villain, is the real problem.

Link. “He alone, who OWNS the youth, GAINS the future.’ — Adolf Hitler.”

Likely they didn’t know the provenance. I don’t think Hitler was right though. Youth are fickle.

Link. FCU is a good one. Krugman quote but I don’t know if it’s original.

Link. Makes sense. Giuliani was a lousy flunky. Let the wolves have him.

Link. Shared because of the funny clickbait headline. The LLM was just flaky of course. But one day a similar headline will be real.
