"Early Tuesday morning, federal authorities and the Spokane Police executed arrest warrants on at least nine Spokanites who were part of the June 11 protest at Spokane’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office.
Archer’s arrest represents a real escalation by the US government to pursue federal charges against someone who had no local charges pressed. It’s not clear what charges they are being held under."
The arrestees include Justice Forral, Erin Lang and former city council president Ben Stuckart, who were all arrested during the June 11 protests. Organizer Jac Archer, who was not arrested June 11, was also arrested this morning.
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Senior Christian clerics and international envoys denounced a wave of violent attacks by Israeli settlers, slamming Tel Aviv’s Western allies of enabling lawlessness against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
ya know it's really a bummer the Epstein list had to be such a shit show. He's been otherwise on fire since taking office. Even the Iran strike has seemed to work out despite all the doom.
@SirAndrewTheGreat I hear you, but honestly, I'm relieved. It doesn't mean dems are less evil. The network is being dismantled, and it's what we voted for.

Imagine, if you will, that you are dreaming you are on a planet in which everyone is dumber than you. Even the people who are smarter than you are still dumber than you.
You wake up in a cold sweat and realize you are still on that planet.
well my press dies were a fail. the bends weren't going to be accurate enough and i would have had to make some better dies than what i did. so we are going with some weld-on brackets instead which i already plasma cut the blanks for.
EFF helped take down a bogus podcasting patent with the public’s help. If the PERA or PREVAIL bills pass, that fight wouldn’t be possible today. eff.org/deeplinks/2025/05/pera…
Two dangerous bills have been reintroduced in Congress that would reverse over a decade of progress in fighting patent trolls and making the patent system more balanced.
The whole grok white genocide thing*, to me, is a stellar example of why conversations about AI fairness and model de-biasing cannot live exclusively in academia.
It's rare that the ego and power struggles that shape technologies are laid *this* bare, and I hope it serves as a reminder that this is happening in far more quietly and insidiously all the time!!
But to my point— there are so many technically and philosophically fascinating papers about defining, measuring, and adjusting for perceived bias in chatbots.
But they can only do so much in an environment that produces... this.
De-biasing and fairness work has *gotta* address the larger social and political conditions that shape technological development.
Cecilia: "I requested perms for Elden Ring last week because I was planning on playing it this week and I was told "Uh, do you mean NORMAL Elden Ring? Don't you mean Nightreign? Are you SURE?" No, I'm so sorry I want to play the normal one. Please. Please. Please!"

Plastic in ice cream and plastic in the brain are linked through the presence of **microplastics**—tiny plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in size—that contaminate many ultra-processed foods, including ice cream, and have been found to accumulate in human brain tissue.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs), such as ice cream, are particularly prone to containing higher concentrations of microplastics compared to whole, unprocessed foods. This is due to intensive industrial food processing, packaging materials, and additives that introduce plastic particles into these foods. For instance, some processed foods have been shown to contain far more microplastics per gram than their unprocessed counterparts[1][3][5].
Recent research has found that these microplastics from UPFs can cross the **blood-brain barrier**—a protective shield around the brain—and accumulate in brain tissue in quantities roughly equivalent to a whole plastic spoon. This plastic accumulation in the brain has increased by about 50% in the last eight years. Notably, brains of people with dementia have shown three to five times higher microplastic concentrations than those without cognitive impairment[1][2][3][7].
The biological implications of this plastic accumulation are becoming clearer: microplastics may cause **inflammation, oxidative stress**, and may interfere with brain cell function, processes similarly implicated in mental health disorders like dementia, depression, and anxiety. The microplastics tend to gather in the brain's myelin sheath, which insulates neurons and facilitates signal transmission, potentially disrupting brain communication[1][2][3][5].
In summary, the link between plastic in ice cream and plastic in the brain lies in microplastic contamination of ultra-processed foods like ice cream, which leads to the accumulation of microplastics in human brains with potential consequences for neurological health. This emerging research highlights an alarming new dimension of how plastic pollution in our food supply may be impacting brain health and mental well-being worldwide[1][2][3][5][7].
A popular brand recalled ice cream over plastic contamination, highlighting growing concerns about microplastics in food, which studies link to heart disease, gut issues, and environmental harm.
