No algorithm can replace human wisdom and analysis.

But no algorithm will need to if we have already abandoned — wholesale — a millennium of critical reading and thinking skills.

In just 14 days, Microsoft pivoted from "do security" in an internal memo on May 5 to "let's install spyware on everyone's PC" on May 21.

That must be a world record in bad corporate management

The U.S. fascists will follow the Russian fascists and outlaw being gay if they get power. Is this not clear?

@StillIRise1963 It should be clear that trans people will be outlawed before gay people are outlawed. The full playbook is to take away any recognition, healthcare and ban « crossdressing » in public.

A friend told me reported covid numbers in Norway have been in the 20’s, for the last few weeks. This is a couple orders of magnitude less than NZ.

I’d love our levels in NZ to be this low. Without having much real knowledge of things there, can anyone tell me if the Norway ones accurate or cooked in some manner?

@dave In Europe most testing was abolished. The Norwegians don't know it better, the dark number could be higher. There are politicians who want to defund waste water sampling and even ban masks in schools.

How the AfD Became the Long Arm of Russia and China

The far-right AfD presents itself as a patriotic party, but revelations about possible monetary payments from Russia and a suspected Chinese spy have exposed its members as traitors to their country. DER SPIEGEL has learned that the Kremlin even drafted a "manifesto" for the party.

Stopped wearing a everywhere a couple weeks ago after wearing one everywhere (except at home, duh) every day for four years and a little change.

Sometimes it feels weird to not wear one, but that didn't last long. I've adapted to the still-somewhat-dangerous new "normal."

I'll probably miss not wearing a KN95 next February during the cold snap. It really helps keep you warm. ;)

I won't miss anything else about them, other than the fact that I've never had because of them.

    The attacks on DEI are peak fragility. Historically white men are:
    •98% of POTUS
    •98% of US Senate
    •94% of SCOTUS
    •91% of US House
    •90% of US CEOs

    •while only 30% of US population

    And yet, a largely white male political establishment is so afraid of having slightly less power they're banning the mere idea of equal justice for non-white men.

    President Biden has signed a bill to effectively ban TikTok.

    Meanwhile, we've watched Facebook admit to enabling Rohingya genocide, help to manipulate the 2016 election, sell our private data, cause massive PTSD to its own employees, and currently let Israeli military spy on Palestinians—face zero meaningful accountability whatsoever—but it's a good thing we've banned TikTok, because, you know, for safety.

    Just absurd and dangerous hypocrisy. smh.
