I will pretty much NEVER click on a headline that says:

"The <N> <X> you must <Y> in 2024".

No, I don't "MUST". I might want to once I read about them, sure, but...

And yet it must work as clickbait, because you see it all over.

Ich dachte eigentlich, die Geschichte des zu kennen – bis ich kürzlich auf die Person Amin al-Husseini stieß. Es klang für mich erst wie alternative Geschichte à la “Man in the High Castle”, ist aber Realität. Im Kontext des heutigen verdient er aus meiner Sicht Aufmerksamkeit und sollte – unabhängig von der Frage der Interpretation für den weiteren Verlauf der Geschichte nach dem II. Weltkrieg – so bekannt sein wie andere Täter aus der SS.

Holli Emore, director of Cherry Hill Seminary, reached out to Rabbi David Wolpe for an interfaith conversation following his article “The Return of Paganism” earlier this week in The Atlantic. But Wolpe declined, claiming his article was not intended to address modern Pagans.

The Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg "I refuse to participate in the normalization of Donald Trump."

The Atlantic published a special edition of its monthly magazine focusing on what a second Trump term would look like.
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/01/donald-trump-second-term-policies/676176/

"He points out that his position is not a partisan one. It's 'not about Republicans and Democrats," he stressed, but "about authoritarians versus pro-democracy Americans.' "

Kudos to Goldberg and #TheAtlantic

The adorable Venezuelan poodle moth was discovered & photographed in 2009 by Dr. Arthur Anker. It’s supposedly the only sighting of this critter, but insects are small & Earth is big. So imagine the diversity of species we haven’t found yet…

The Venezuelan poodle moth is a beautiful animal. There was an article back in 2012 in https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2012/08/venezuelan-poodle-moth-internets-favorite-real-life-pokemon-tk/324111/ that traced the story and found out that it was real and not an internet fake.

The source of the photo for the Venezuelan poodle moth: https://www.flickr.com/photos/artour_a/4207478815/in/album-72157603542118616/

That album by Arthur Anker contains many more photos of extraordinary neotropical moths https://www.flickr.com/photos/artour_a/albums/72157603542118616/with/3947813697/ plus a few other insects.

The photos are simply out of this world. Here are a couple of my favourites:

Amastus epicostosia - aposematic tiger moth https://www.flickr.com/photos/artour_a/257883479/in/album-72157603542118616/

"Bolognese caterpillar" of a moth (Megalopyge sp.) from Ecuador https://www.flickr.com/photos/artour_a/504052852/in/album-72157603542118616/

Yes, very true. For me, they were sort of like a "Second Life", a fictitious "alternate reality" of what could have been or might be if...but nothing that would materialize in my life time, maybe apart from a lunar base.

Never have I been so wrong in an overall assessment:

The Atlantic's Photo section — aka ‘In Focus’ — is my favorite way to catch up with general news and hot topics. Articles remain free, published twice or thrice a week, just enough to not hit the paywall.

Plus, it has its own RSS feed, so you can subscribe without getting overwhelmed by the other paid text articles : http://feeds.feedburner.com/theatlantic/infocus

Ever since, white nationalists used "socialism" make Americans believe "socialism" was an "extremist" view, so they'd stand by while everyone from Joe McCarthy to Trump smeared their opponents as "Marxists":

As puts it for , "There is a long-standing fight over whether support for the modern-day right is about taxes or race. The key is that it is about taxes and race at the same time":

    There is a article up, saying that pulled 's sat-nav for a planned attack on Russian sips because he feared WWIII would break out.

    The basis for this affirmative claim by The Atlantic?

    A Musk comm to his biographer stating his concern.

    Problem is that anyone wanting to create some grounds for some defence against doing something like switching off the sat-nav in a secret deal with would do something like that.

    Looks like to me.

    Nice summary of the current state of LLMs in a non-technical sense. My observation is that the bloom quickly falls from the rose once you start working with them regularly. They are repetitive, make silly mistakes and frequently don’t save the time you hoped they would. What they aren’t is creative or surprising.
