Language is the best tool humanity ever had.

Intellectually stimulating activities like reading and writing can lower risk of dementia by nearly 40% and delay the onset of any dementia by up to five years. And writing by hand is specifically neurologically advantageous. Walk, read, write, as much as you can.

It’s even more crazy how Iran fired thousands of “cheap” drones and missiles at several countries from thousands of miles away but not once accidentally hit a school, a university or a hospital.

It’s almost like their goal was defense & deterrence -not terror & ethnic cleansing.

Banning under-16s from YouTube mostly means banning them from logging in, which means YouTube will treat them less like kids and more like anonymous adults. Great job, UK.

This man is tweeting from Israel.

He lives a few miles from Gaza, which his state has reduced to apocalyptic rubble.

He is asking for sympathy on the grounds that his life is being disrupted.

He does so in support of starving the survivors of Gaza.

What do you even say!

I admire Fabrice Bellard. He is almost certainly a better overall programmer than I am.

Interesting how all these outfits look good because they have shape and drape. Shortly after these portraits were taken, the US imposed limits on migration from Southern and Eastern Europe, as they deemed such people "less desirable" than those from Western and Northern Europe.

This is so true. Practically all the assholes I know support Israel. And all the compassionate, justice minded people I know have empathy for the Palestinians and are bothered by their suffering.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

"... because beneath it all this is not about faster development = more apps or faster email = more communication being a desirable goal. Generically, it's about a unit time of life and how it is spent meaningfully."

Hasan Piker just said something so simple, so obvious, and so devastating:

"Every dollar spent on a bomb Israel drops on a school is a dollar stolen from you - because that dollar could have built a school in your neighborhood. That's your productive output used to kill other people's kids. You get none of the benefits."

JUST IN: Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow fired the company’s entire HR team because they were “creating problems that didn’t exist.”
