"Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. repeatedly told lawmakers who held the key to his confirmation last year that a 2019 visit to Samoa before a deadly measles outbreak had 'nothing to do with vaccines.' New documents obtained by The Associated Press and The Guardian refute that testimony."

@adam opinions are like a-holes; everyone got one. And Bill Gates is the GAAT (greatest a-hole of all time).

@andrewnez I am already thinking submodules are the devil. They did not really have to add worktrees as well. Not even thinking of the combination…*shudder*

Je pourrais bien être client de "Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch'd and Pichu", fait par Aardman (sortie en 2027).

Fitting that ACT UP, the radical AIDS advocacy group that achieved so much through pressure, has restarted recently and included COVID/Long COVID in their issues.

This life is so hard.

I hate it when we pretend it isn't.

Very much enjoying Steven Thrasher's The Viral Underclass. Some interesting framing and history I was unaware of, especially with HIV and AIDS advocacy. Looking forward to his The Overseer Class: A Manifesto.

Mañana día 30 de agosto se lanza al espacio el Nancy Grace Roman Telescope (NASA), un telescopio infrarrojo que será sorprendente en muchos aspectos (para empezar, su nombre reconoce a una de las astrónomas pioneras de la astronomía espacial...)

Para haceros una idea, aquí una imagen comparativa de la superficie de sus detectores con lo que llevan el Hubble y el JWST. Esto permite que cada imagen capture un área de cielo 100 veces mayor que los otros telescopios espaciales.

Cobertura del lanzamiento: https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-sets-coverage-for-roman-space-telescope-launch-from-florida/

If you see #progressive organizations using #AI slop imagery, SAY SOMETHING. Post a comment saying you don’t like it. Do it because you care about them.

You may have people replying to oppose your position, and that would be a good thing. Start a conversation. You have the moral high ground.

Show others in the group that it’s ok to speak up against the use of #AISlop in an organization that claims to care about other people. Show organizers that they are alienating people by using #aiCRAP.

Do this because you care about the cause.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has issued a memo for universities that seeks to restrict issuance of certain internship work authorizations for international students. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/08/29/world/society/us-restrict-internships-international-students/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #society #us #donaldtrump #universities #internationalstudents

Giuro non è polemica, ma sincera ignoranza: ma è legale avere un consulente straniero alla difesa?

@Fischblog hmm … lese den ja mehr unter dem gesichtspunkt, dass gerade ein großer angriff auf das IFG stattfindet

Numerous international agencies, like the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund and mental health coalitions have documented high rates of psychological distress among Palestinian youth, manifesting as chronic anxiety, sleep disorders, bed wetting and deep feelings of helplessness.  The trauma is not episodic.  Because the occupation and violence are continuous, the emotional and physical wounds remain perpetually open.

Die Drecksregierung ist bereit, über noch mehr Leichen zu gehen. 14000 Hitzetote reichen ihr offenbar nicht, um die Rentenkassen zu entlasten.

"Children under occupation absorb the anxieties of their parents long before they have the vocabulary to understand it. The trauma of seeing parents humiliated and abused by soldiers or seeing family homes demolished, leaves children with memories unaltered by time.
Under occupation, play gives way to hypervigilance. #Children learn early to read soldiers, calculate safe routes to-and-from school and to live with daily fear and doubt.
