"This Is Israel

All those dead kids on your social media feed are the fruit of a tree whose seed was planted after the second world war. That tree has been bearing more and more fruit, and it will continue to for as long as it remains standing. Because that's just the kind of tree it is. The only kind of tree it ever could have been.

When seen as the spicy autocorrect that it is, this LLM behaviour makes so much sense on every level: it has doubtless been trained on zillions examples of people getting called out on BS and rationalising or trying to present the most PR-friendly damage control answer they could. We're basically seeing a somewhat-weighted average of every single fibber confession on the internet… 😐

I attended College in Philly, Beaver College was a school that had a good number of Foreign students. In Grad School at Duquesne Univ my first year grad school room-mate was a 50yrs old Indian student, from India. She was getting an extra degree in Childhood Psych. We had fun at first, with her helping me wear one of her Sari's...(however as I was 20yrs old I kept typical College student hours which were not conducive to her studies, so I got a single after that) But I feel for these Foreign students and the BS they are going thru.

The world continues to look more and more like the beginning of a dystopian sci-fi/horror and the freakiest thing is that so many are still oblivious

US expected to block Gaza ceasefire vote at Security Council (New Indian Express, 2025-06-04)

>> The new resolution, seen by AFP, "demands an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza respected by all parties."

>> It also calls for the "immediate, dignified and unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas and other groups."

>> … the resolution additionally demands the lifting of all restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

>> It will be put to vote at 4:00 pm Wednesday (2000 GMT), but several diplomats indicated to AFP that they expected the United States to wield its veto power.

>> They added that the representatives from the 10 elected members of the Council, who will introduce the text, tried in vain to negotiate with the American side…

There is absolutely nothing to stop the UN from disbanding the current UNSC and forming a new one without the United States, or at the very least stripping Russia and the US of their veto powers. Even if it was formed as part of the UN charter then hell, fucking change the charter! Rip the fucking charter up and start something new that reflects today's reality and not the reality of 80 years ago. 2025 is a vastly different world than 1945.

JSM articulates his thoughts on AI...

"As someone who has spent their entire career and most of their life participating and creating online, this sucks. It feels like someone just harvested lumber from a forest I helped grow, and now wants to sell me the furniture they made with it."

"It’s worth saying it out loud as an affirmation: making things is not about the destination, but about the journey. The journey is what you put into creation: the thought, the mistakes, the sweat, the time, the lived experiences, the refinement in technique. What you get back is knowledge. The output is an artifact of that knowledge. When you get that artifact without the journey, you make nothing, you learn nothing."

As one unelected judge after another rules against the Trump agenda, Republicans must decide if they want to abide by the will of the people. Executive orders are easily undone by the next administration, but codified law is far harder to undo. Yet House Republicans have largely been sitting on their hands, seemingly content to watch a term-limited Trump crank out executive orders while the minority Democrats go judge-shopping to undo the will of the American people.

This has been the craziest and scariest week . The pneumonia had returned as soon as my mother got out of the rehab facility. We took her to a bigger hospital and they put her on antibiotics and she became and still is delirious they call it delirium. the underlying infection and dope they give her has made her almost like mentally sick. I'm sad for my brother and sister because she is crying for them & asking what I did to them and why im hiding them . Her eyes are wide open but blank

There is hope for the future as long as there are kids like these. High school students uncovered and raised about 500 forgotten veteran grave markers at Mount Calvary Cemetery for Memorial Day!

🇿🇦 > Farm Attack happens WHILE we interview victim of other attack
@Jezza™ Well if they keep killing the white farmers to appropriate the land, sooner or later they are going to find themselves in the same place that Russia did after the Bolsheviks took all the land from the farmers, divided it up amongst the plebs who did not know how to farm, and then somewhere between 5-100 million people died (if you ask a leftists/socialists/communist they will say 5-10 million, if you ask a rightest/capitalist you will get 25-100 million, and given records weren't all that good we'll never really know the truth, but one person starving is too many, let alone five million. So the Racist Blacks in South Africa are going to learn the hard way that the farmers they killed were feeding their faces when they go hungry.

Removing fluoride from water could result in 25 million cavities and cost $9.8 billion, study estimates

@CBS News Although if one really wants fluoride for their teeth they can go to a dentist and get fluoride treatments or they can buy a fluoridated toothpaste. The toothpaste companies will be glad to sell you pulp-mill waste if they can't dump it in city reservoirs. Per Google, and they are conservative and usually happy to allow you to be poisoned, these are some problems fluoride can cause.

1. Fluorosis:

Dental Fluorosis: Occurs when children are exposed to high concentrations of fluoride while their teeth are still developing. This can lead to discoloration, white spots, streaks, or even pitting and enamel damage, but generally doesn't affect the health or function of the teeth. Severe dental fluorosis is rare in the U.S. and is not caused by the recommended levels of fluoride in public tap water.
Skeletal Fluorosis: A bone disease resulting from long-term exposure to high levels of fluoride, leading to pain, stiffness, bone deformities, and an increased risk of fractures. It can cause bones to become hardened and less elastic, and in severe cases, crippling skeletal fluorosis can result in calcification of ligaments and joint immobility. Skeletal fluorosis is extremely rare in the United States and is not caused by standard amounts of fluoride in public water.
Non-skeletal Fluorosis: An early stage of skeletal fluorosis affecting the gastrointestinal tract, causing symptoms like abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, or loss of appetite.

2. Neurological Issues:

Potential link to lower IQ in children: Some studies suggest that high fluoride exposure in pregnancy or early life could be linked to lower IQ or behavioral issues in children. However, research results are mixed, and most experts believe the evidence is weak, with no link found between normal fluoride levels in U.S. tap water (0.7 mg/L) and lower IQ. The Yale School of Public Health also mentions that recent research observed these negative effects at fluoride levels that were more than double the amounts recommended for U.S. community water fluoridation programs.

3. Thyroid Problems:

Possible effect on the parathyroid gland: In some cases, excessive fluoride may affect the parathyroid gland, potentially leading to hyperparathyroidism, which can weaken bone structure.
Potential interference with thyroid hormone production: Fluoride may interfere with iodine's ability to produce thyroid hormones, potentially leading to hypothyroidism. Studies show that fluoride may take up iodine receptor sites in the thyroid gland, potentially causing iodine deficiency.

4. Other potential problems:

Acute toxicity: Ingesting large amounts of fluoride in a short period can lead to abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, seizures, and other severe reactions.
