Hamjambo,
Seems like #Swahili negative phrases are more common than the positive ones 😅

Between 1985--2023, MIT's faculty grew 9%. Administrative staff grew 189%. 📈 Why? In new @PNASNews paper, we use dynamical system model to show administrative bloat can emerge without empire-building--just from well-intentioned problem-solving gone awry https://t.co/MZgGkxilZ2

Code reviewed by WIRED uncovered an unreleased face-recognition system embedded in Meta’s smart glasses platform. It’s designed to identify people via biometric data stored on users’ phones. https://t.co/dqxwTlIO1r

NEW: I've uncovered an AI slop mill quietly backed by U.S. Special Operations pushing military propaganda across Latin American and the Caribbean, all disguised as a lifestyle brand. It mixes every bad 2010s media startup idea with Pentagon PR.

We're honored to publish two new poems by Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, both entitled "Otherwise" "The onslaught is the onslaught and has no time to spare. Bodies decomposing lace November with their own metallic signatures."

You can talk with such bravado about caning children but you had nothing to say when the government decided to starve the kids in school with capitation of 90 bob.

Don't blame children for not accepting what you have accepted as the adults.

Eritrean cycling stars Biniam Girmay and Henok Mulubrhan are heading to Belgium!

After nearly two months away from racing to focus on intense training for the upcoming Tour de France (starting July 4), Olympian Biniam Girmay @NSNCyclingTeam returns this Sunday, June 7!

He will be lining up for the Brussels Cycling Classic, a grueling 206 km one-day race heavily favored by top sprinters.

Joining him as the best Eritrean in the peloton is Henok Mulubrhan @XDSAstanaTeam he expected to mark with top 1's!

Best of luck to both incredible proff riders, and their respective teams! 🇪🇷

[Africa Rising Cycling @CyclingAfrica]

Was great to hear @JezCox and @StevoCummings discussing the three young Eritreans on Team @bikeaid today on @cyclingontnt live commentary ❤️🇪🇷

They then talked about BIKE AID’s sprinter Kristians Belohvoščiks who was nicknamed the “Latvian Gorilla” when he won the Tour du Bénin recently, as well as the great philanthropic work BIKE AID does for Africa - their #rideforafrica project, displayed on their jersey ❤️🌍

Nice for Jez Cox to say they light up the @DeineTour and have a lot of fans there!

🚴‍♀️ It's about winning. But it's also about all the people, sacrifices, and stories behind every victory. Well done, @LidlTrek

🚴‍♀️ Vincere conta. Ma conta anche quante persone, sacrifici e storie ci sono dietro ogni vittoria. Ben fatto, @LidlTrek

If we confuse generative AI’s ability to produce text with consciousness, we risk assigning moral responsibility to chatbots—and not to their makers, Ted Chiang argues. https://t.co/Cptx3aWppI

After months of betrayals by the various leaderships, Bolivian workers and peasants are developing new forms of organization, and fighting to impose a general strike from below.

The World Met Organization held a presser yesterday, confirming that indeed, a Super El Nino pattern is developing in the tropical Pacific.

Now that the spring predictability barrier is over and the Northern hemisphere summer is beginning, the atmosphere-ocean coupling is set to strengthen and the effects of the El Nino will start to manifest in various regions across the globe.

The models will now get even better in giving clearer and more accurate predictions of the timing & strength of the upcoming Nino.

Rural workers in Bolivia have seized an oil field in the Santa Cruz region and halted all production, as part of the general strike against neoliberalism.

The site, in the Santa Rosa del Sara municipality, is now fully offline.
