as someone who struggles with auditory processing issues i really dislike the thing people do in short form video content where they attempt to lip sync with whatever meme sound/song they're using but then put whatever joke they're trying to make in captions

the wombo combo of what's usually a really bad lip sync with mismatched subtitles throws me every time

In addition to revealing phone numbers of several admin officials, the papers left at the hotel’s public printer “disclosed the sequence of meetings for Aug 15, incl. the specific names of the (Alaska military base) rooms where they would take place. It also revealed that #Trump intended to give #Putin a ceremonial (bald eagle desk statue) present.” (🤮)

Also: The “luncheon was to be held ‘in honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.’”

Two documents related to the Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska on August 15, 2025. The left document is a luncheon menu in honor of Vladimir Putin, featuring items like green salad and halibut. The right document outlines the meeting's sequence of events, including meeting times and specific meeting rooms. It also talks about how US President Trump (“POTUS”) would have a press meeting with Sean Hannity and give Russian President Putin a present (an “American Bald Eagle Desk Statue”). https://www.npr.org/2025/08/16/nx-s1-5504196/trump-putin-summit-documents-left-behind Accessed: 18 August 2025 at 1246 MST

Literally rolling out the red carpet for #Putin (who would be arrested in Europe for war crimes), riding together in the car, walking side-by-side… letting him speak first at the press conference (when typically the hosting country’s president would speak first)….

No wonder Arnold Schwarzenegger called #trump a “wet noodle” and a “little fanboy” ~

I’ll add that it was infuriating as well as Scwarzenegger’s “embarrassing”~

Much more interesting than that.

To wit: Inertia is the effect of imbalance of Unruh radiation caused by the fact that some of that radiation cannot reach you when you are accelerating because acceleration causes a Rindler horizon.

Interesting because Unruh waves can be blocked, which means you can have reactionless thrusters. The famous EmDrive is explained by QI, but there have also been a number of experimental reproductions of QI reactionless thrust using capacitors.

In another post, I demonstrated that reactionless thrusters are equivalent to free energy machines because they generate a fixed amount of force/torque for a given input, without consideration for speed/RPM that they are moving.

Getreide ist für Hunde, die keine individuelle Unverträglichkeit haben, kein Problem. Hunde können im Gegensatz zu Wölfen problemlos Stärke spalten und es ist sogar eine recht gut nutzbare Energiequelle. Ich habe zwei Hunde mit massiven (durch Medikamente erworbenen) Unverträglichkeiten, die beziehen sich aber alle nur auf individuelle Proteine. Brötchen, Reis, Nudeln, Pizzarand ist alles kein Problem.
Der dritte Hund frisst größtenteils vegan. 🌱

Man, we keep having accumulating archivist/librarian layoffs happening at major private universities, at OCLC, at state libraries/archives, etc. I feel like the archives-interested public is aware of what's going down in the federal government but there is very little awareness of how much it's spreading outside of the feds. This shit is so bleak. I really don't know what the future of the profession looks like and that scares the shit out of me.

cwicseolfor (has moved!)

Not at all to bear false comfort because things are pretty bleak employment-wise, but in a couple more years as LLMs chew up and excrete the entire digital corpus and people (are encouraged to) lose the skills to read, seek, and research on their own even in academic settings, I think those skills are going to be sorely needed. I don’t think that reliably translates into compensation or social esteem, but some circles will honor it, and hopefully we can put those in charge by then.

The image shows a close-up of a hand holding a clear plastic cup with a dome lid and a black straw. The cup contains a brown beverage, likely an iced coffee or latte, with a frothy top. The background is blurred, but it appears to be an indoor setting, possibly an airport or a mall, with blue barriers and a food kiosk visible. The lighting is bright, and the focus is on the cup, highlighting the texture of the beverage and the details of the cup's lid and straw.

The image shows an e-reader device placed in a holder on an airplane seat. The e-reader screen displays a black-and-white comic strip featuring two characters. One character, with a robotic appearance, is holding the other character, who has a humanoid form. The text in the comic reads, "THEN, THE MIND IS OF NO USE.... IF IT CANNOT QUESTION! THINK WHAT YOU LIKE, ANDROID!" The e-reader is encased in a protective cover with elastic straps securing it in place. The background includes the interior of the airplane seat, with a blue fabric surface and a white panel above the seat, which contains some text, though it is blurred and not legible.

In the heart of Germany, a once-pristine natural treasure, the Reinhardswald, is being devastated under the guise of “saving the planet.”

Known as the “Fairytale Forest” due to its central role in the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, this ancient landscape is home to trees over 500 years old.

The historic forest is believed to be 1000 years old.

However, it is now being transformed into an industrial wasteland to make way for massive wind turbines.

The wind industry and green proponents claim this destruction is necessary for fighting “climate change.” But is it?

In the name of the “green agenda,” the region is being torn apart by the construction of 18 giant wind turbines.

Each turbine reaches a towering height of 244 meters.

To make room for these behemoths, roads are being cut into the forest, thousands of ancient trees are being felled, and once-pristine slopes are being leveled.

Meanwhile, vast amounts of gravel are being dumped across the forest floor.

This isn’t just the installation of wind turbines in open fields; this is large-scale industrial development that is causing irreversible harm to the forest’s delicate ecosystem.
