I appreciate the local news wanting to keep us informed but sometimes they sound like a toddler. “Fire rescue crews were seen. This is a developing story.” No additional information.
Same energy as “MOM DAD LOOK A FIRETRUCK” 🤣

We lost Dolly Parton last week at 80, and while the world was still crying, the crooks got to work within 2 hours. AI-generated audio and video "of" her scams hit across Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube. Fake charity accounts, phony memorial merch, donation pleas in gift cards or crypto. Type dollywoodfoundation.org yourself and give there. Dolly spent her life giving. Don’t let a scammer use her name, or a fake AI version of her voice, to take.
Hearing rumors... is iocaine losing effectiveness?
@bstacey I heard Anubis is losing effectiveness but hadn't heard anything to that effect about iocaine; did you hear something I missed?

0 Klimafragen in 30 Minuten: das ARD-Sommerinterview mit dem Kanzler – im Jahr mit 15.800 Hitzetoten (RKI), so vielen wie in keinem Sommer zuvor.
Der Fragenkatalog des früheren ARD-Klimajournalisten Jürgen Döschner lag längst im Brandmelder vor: "Sie haben es in der Hand, Kollege Preiß." Es kam anders.
Döschner jetzt: "ein Schlag ins Gesicht aller […] Opfer der Klimakrise".
Deshalb braucht es ein KLIMA° vor acht.

There is a correct solution to the trolley problem.
It is this: you design the system with positive train control. You make it so the trolley cannot enter a section where there are people, and you make it so the trolley can be stopped quickly if something goes wrong.
I've been told that this is cheating, a cop-out, or avoiding the "interesting" aspects of the question. I don't think it is. Framing the world as a series of individual can't-win situations and lose-lose decisions _is_ the problem.
Don't do that.

Got curious who invented the coffee filter. A German housewife in 1908, tired of grounds in her cup, punched holes in a brass pot with a nail and lined it with her kid's school blotting paper. Melitta Bentz. Patented within the year. Every drip machine since is running her homework. #coffee #history

Random question for the Fediverse: anyone have a favorite way of extracting pomegranate juice from pomegranates (after peeling), which doesn't make it look like you've just committed mass murder in your kitchen and all over your shirt? 🤪
(no problem extracting the seeds from the pomegranates themselves, do that in water... it's just the squeezing of seeds I am wondering about).
@ai6yr I put the seeds in a blender with some pomegranate molasses, some beets (to preserve color), and some red chili paste and it makes a dandy chutney.
You're a very lucky person.
Hmm, the Linux Foundation - @linuxfoundation - has a thing at https://x402.org, payment infrastructure using the HTTP "402 PAYMENT REQUIRED" status code that:
1. Is said to "empower agentic payments at scale",
2. Specifically lists as an advantage that you can ignore Know-Your-Customer legislation,
3. Accomplishes payment with stablecoins, and
4. Is said to be backed by Google, Visa, AWS, Amex, etc etc etc.
Just me, or is there a bit of a funny smell here?
Yes indeed, that smells... not funny.
Ben Shapiro is exhausting.

Ausgebeutet für Sanifair? Schmutzige Geschäfte mit sauberen Toiletten
Es sind schwere Vorwürfe, die Reinigungskräfte gegenüber Report Mainz erheben. Sie schildern, in Sanifair-Toilettenanlagen täglich zwölf Stunden arbeiten zu müssen. Sieben Tage die Woche. Dafür erhielten sie einen Stundenlohn von rund fünf Euro.
