These are the real no-go zones in our towns and cities..

"NHS staff who care for patients in their own homes fear some areas have become “no-go zones” for them because of the presence of St George’s flags, health leaders have said.

Black and Asian staff have been left feeling “deliberately intimidated” as a result of the flags that were put up in many parts of England during the summer"

"..many of the women he has treated – more than 3,000 to date – are able to come off medication they have previously been prescribed for anxiety and depression as a direct result of their iron infusion. It makes me wonder how many women with poor mental health are simply in need of some iron"

@GeePawHill here's a thought, how about all US citizens get the same level of and access to care congress has granted to themselves?

I know, too radical an idea. I'll see myself out.

Big News! The completely #opensource#LLM#Apertus 🇨🇭 has been released today:

📰 https://www.swisscom.ch/en/about/news/2025/09/02-apertus.html

🤝 The model supports over 1000 languages [EDIT: an earlier version claimed over 1800] and respects opt-out consent of data owners.

▶ This is great for #publicAI and #transparentAI. If you want to test it for yourself, head over to: https://publicai.co/

🤗 And if you want to download weights, datasets & FULL TRAINING DETAILS, you can find them here:
https://huggingface.co/collections/swiss-ai/apertus-llm-68b699e65415c231ace3b059

🔧 Tech report: https://huggingface.co/swiss-ai/Apertus-70B-2509/blob/main/Apertus_Tech_Report.pdf

After #Teuken7b and #Olmo2, Apertus is the next big jump in capabilities and performance of #FOSS #LLMs, while also improving #epistemicresilience and #epistemicautonomy with its multilingual approach.

I believe that especially for sensitive areas like #education, #healthcare, or #academia, there is no alternative to fully open #AI models. Everybody should start building upon them and improving them.

#KIMündigkeit#SovereignAI#FOSS#ethicalAI #swissai#LernenmitKI

Well, that about sums it up.

Holy crap! In a world of institutional boot lickers, be ACOG.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, rather than abandon #DEI and rubber stamp anti-science policies, told the #Trump regime to stick their federal funding where the sun doesn't shine. 🍑

ACOG and AAP are being everything our media and academic leaders are not.

This is a list of rural hospitals that the Murder Budget will close.

For your Congress calling purposes.

Remember, they took public lands sales out of the bill because of red state resister pushback! They are all terrified, Murkowardski admitted it. When they are more afraid of us than they are of Trump we win.

My God, a rural hospital in #Nebraska has ALREADY decided to close over the #BigUglyBill. The #GOP critters thought they could delay the impact until after the midterms, but it is just as I was saying Tuesday at that GOP critter's office: any cuts at all to funding for rural healthcare and it folds. Rural medical services have been on a knife edge for years and any cuts will close them.
