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.
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.

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.
Disgusting how Reuters parrots Israel's lies in its headlines. Terror attack on civilians (filling water bottles at a water distribution point) called by Reuters a "missile malfunction"
At the doc about to get an overdue tetanus shot and pneumonia vaccine. Mask because bronchiectasis/ruined immune system, t shirt because grieving dearly departed my cat Lola.
On Sunday, Israel bombed a water distribution point in the central Gaza Strip, as dozens of civilians, mostly women and children, waited in line for water. Twelve people were killed, eight of them children. It was not the first time.

US President Donald Trump’s economic measures against Russia are unlikely to have a significant impact on the Russian economy. This was reported in Der Spiegel.
MLB all-star game is tonight. Remember when MLB pulled/moved the game from Atlanta in 2020 because their “voting laws were racist”. Game is in Atlanta tonight, so I guess that means MLB is admitting they were wrong.
There is another reason for the leaders, all around, to support Israel and is because they don't want "israeli" citizens in their countries. It's anti-semitism first of all and then the weight they don't like to "bring" in their countries - for the attitude of "israelis" (being made by funding and support from abroad).
Buying ammo has slowed down since people feel better about things now than over past years. Prices are going down, and it's a good time to stock up w/more.

Tour de France : violente répression de la dénonciation du blanchiment des crimes d’Israël par le sport
Depuis le départ du Tour de France, le 5 juillet, les militantes et militants présents pacifiquement sur le parcours pour dénoncer la présence de l’équipe Israël Premier Tech dans la course et pour exprimer un soutien au peuple palestinien ont été victimes de violences policières inédites et particulièrement graves. À Lille, le 5 juillet, des citoyens et citoyennes, membres de l’Association France Palestine Solidarité, qui manifestaient pacifiquement ont été nassé·es, contrôlé·es et fouillé·es. Des drapeaux rangés dans des sacs ont été saisis par des policiers en armes … À Caen, le 9 juillet, d’autres membres de l’AFPS ont été gazés et jetés à terre. Une banderole a été lacérée de coups de couteaux et détruite, des drapeaux palestiniens ont été volés ainsi que des keffiehs tandis que d’autres objets personnels ont disparu. Des policiers qui se sont livrés à ces violences ont affirmé qu’ils avaient reçu la consigne qu’aucun drapeau ou marque de soutien à la Palestine ne soit visible sur le parcours du Tour de France. À Flers, le 10 juillet, une dizaine de militant-es se sont vu interpellés et là aussi des drapeaux palestiniens ont été confisqués au prétexte que « le port de signes religieux est interdit lors de compétitions sportives ».
Ainsi, la complicité du gouvernement avec les crimes d’Israël éclate au grand jour. Ce gouvernement qui utilise les forces de l’ordre pour faire taire tout soutien à la cause palestinienne tout en assurant la tranquillité des propagandistes d’Israël. Il a été en effet révélé que des escortes policières mobiles et huit agents des forces de l’ordre entourent chaque jour le périmètre autour de l’équipe israélienne, armes au poing.
Cette connivence dans la répression a permis à Sylvan Adams, le patron de cette équipe qui soutient ouvertement l’expulsion des Palestiniens de leurs terres de se féliciter de n’avoir vu aucun drapeau palestinien sur le Tour de France.
Alors que les massacres et les horreurs se poursuivent quotidiennement à Gaza et dans toute la Palestine, ces violences policières à l’encontre de celles et ceux qui dénoncent pacifiquement le génocide en cours sont injustifiables et inacceptables. Il est révoltant de constater que le gouvernement de la France vend impunément du matériel de guerre à un régime génocidaire et dans le même temps réprime les personnes qui en dénoncent les crimes.
L’AFPS dénonce avec la plus grande fermeté l’attitude du gouvernement français et de la police sous ses ordres. Elle assure les militantes et militants agressé·es aussi injustement de son plus chaleureux soutien.
L’AFPS tient également à affirmer sa détermination à poursuivre la dénonciation de la complicité de génocide du gouvernement français et des organisateurs du Tour de France par le blanchiment des crimes d’Israël à travers la présence de l’équipe Israël Premier Tech dans la course.

A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesman confirmed Tuesday that five Iranians were arrested while attempting to illegally cross the U.S. northern border with Canada.
"On July 1, Border Patrol Agents from the Champlain, New York Station, responded to suspicious activity near Mooers Forks, NY," CBP's Swanton Sector said on Facebook. "Agents located a minivan occupied by five citizens of Iran and two citizens of Uzbekistan."
