A science journalist and PhD astrophysicist, Adam Becker spent the last several years investigating the futurological vision of our tech-bro masters – and found it’s a bunch of nonsense.

"Why do all these Bad Guy countries have so much censorship and propaganda?" and "Why do the 1950s seem so idyllic today?" can be answered with the same explanation:
Following WW2, the world was very multipolar. The United States felt very threatened by the Soviet Union and its allies, and so engaged in one of the most effective propaganda and media censorship campaigns in history. Every bit of media in the States had to make the US look absolutely peachy, highlighting all the new real estate development (for white people), highway construction without noticing the severe elements of re-colonization and displacement, and glorifying the American dream and the nuclear family.
These days, they don't need to do that. Why? Because they already own the world. But we're starting to see cracks showing again. Because communications technology works much differently than it did in the 50s — and because America owns all that global technology — it looks rather different, but it's showing itself in social media algorithms, in government censorship and privacy invasion legislation, in software bans.
We need to do our job so that, in another seventy years, people aren't idolizing the 2020s as some idyllic yesteryear.

Meanwhile in Italy a 32,000 member Facebook Group has hosted the posting of sexually exploitative images of women by their partners.... and despite it supposed ban on sexually explicit images, it took Meta/Facebook three(!) months to take down the group.
Of course, neither is that surprising: men frequently have little respect for women's sexual privacy; Meta failing to deliver on promises of self regulation is par for the course.

Early this morning, an Israeli airstrike targeted a tent in the Al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City, claiming the lives of an entire family from the Al-Da'or clan.

People posting about #Mastodon finally getting quote sharing and like...it really didn't already have that? geez. Next you'll tell me you guys still don't have rich text editing either.
IDF troops wired the Halima al-Saadiya School in Jabalia, northern Gaza Strip, with explosives. Moments ago, the school was detonated, destroying the infrastructure.
They are going to do the same with Khan Yunis and Gaza City. The explosives used for these operations were provided by Germany, UK and US.
Internal Israeli intelligence data reveals that at least 83% of Palestinians killed in the Gaza offensive were civilians, contradicting official Israeli claims of a 1:1 or 2:1 civilian-to-militant ratio.
The data highlights the extremely high civilian toll of Israel’s bombardment, with few parallels in modern warfare.
Modern views of how the brain works. This article is about human consciousness and anesthesia. But the story I want to impress upon people is some background to the issue. There is a new way to think about how the brain does its job.
Some excerpts from the article:
"For much of the 20th century, neuroscientists believed that neurons performed the heavy lifting of producing conscious experience through a process called spiking, which involves transmitting a signal via an electrical impulse known as an action potential.
Spikes of neurons were seen as ones and zeros, and these were considered the carriers of information.
Scientists have realized that neuron firing isn’t solely responsible for consciousness. In fact, researchers have discovered that neurons spend about 80% of their time not spiking. During these periods, they still communicate with other brain cells through subtle electrical influences. Those influences — waves — travel around the brain 5,000 times faster than the slower signaling of synaptic spikes, and they’re being sent out all the time.
Astrocytes — star-shaped glial cells that comprise up to 40% of all cells in the brain — do more than just support neurons structurally, remove waste products, and provide nutrients. Like neurons, they also oscillate and spread electrical influences. In May, a team led by Thomas Papouin, an assistant professor of neuroscience at Washington University in St. Louis, found that a** brain chemical associated with alertness, attention, and learning alters brain connectivity and function by acting on astrocytes, not neurons**.
But Miller is nurturing another hypothesis that fits with the idea that brain waves, not neurons, drive consciousness: The mind actually functions more like an analog computer. These machines solve problems by representing quantities as models — think voltages or mechanical positions — rather than the ones and zeros used in digital computers.
Miller points to the human brain’s meager use of power — just 20 watts — as evidence that its computational approach must be vastly more efficient than today’s energy-hungry digital supercomputers.
In the analog brain, waves could easily serve as those models, Miller says. Computation could emerge from how waves interact, adding together or canceling out depending on their phases. And because these waves ripple across the brain’s layered, three-dimensional structure, they could support enormously complex computations."

The author of Lab Leak Fever has comprehensively exposed the baseless ultra-right campaign to blame COVID-19 on the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.
Interesting to read from the Swiss scientist Philipp Markolin that there were two different SARS-CoV-2 strings that caused the spread of Covid at the Wuhan market.
It is more evidence that COVID-19 originated from an animal-to-human transfer and not from a lab accident. If COVID-19 had come from a lab, there would have been only one string.

What really gets me is that eveything Southern is derived from Black slaves, as if Europeans werent roasting meat over a fire (BBQ) and they obtained their rice from the Orient, and grew it in their colonies. It didnt come from Black slaves bringing kernals with them on the boats.

“For almost 40 years in the middle of the 20th century, workers at an oil refinery with connected facilities in the neighborhood of Wilmington and nearby city of Carson buried truckloads of slop oil and acid sludge directly on site. Decades later, much of that waste is still in the soil and water table”
@micchiato 🍉 If there is really that much oil on site (call me skeptical), then perhaps it is economically viable to dig it up and treat it like Canadian tar sands, recover and sell the product to pay for the extraction.
