@grb090423 I agree people should do it, but I don't agree they should be policed into doing so. Also it doesn't just take a moment on detailed or 'busy' images.
Goodbye to my dear longtime friend, Paul Reubens. I am crushed. The world has lost one of the funniest human beings who ever lived. Paul, I hope wherever you are, you have reunited with John and Phil and are laughing your asses off - together again. I love you so much Paul. I will miss you and all the wonderful times we spent together more than you’ll ever know. 💔RIP
Just read the term “Proof of Personhood” and it made me retch.
“Proof of Personhood” is how you destroy personhood by tying it to some arbitrary constraint controlled by some asshole; by making it, and therefore by extension, people themselves, a commodity.
So fuck Worldcoin, fuck Sam Altman, fuck scanning people’s eyeballs for profit, fuck cryptobros and their cultists, and fuck Silicon Valley very much.
The evidence that cars don’t work as primary mass transport in cities is everywhere: traffic jams, air pollution, accident rates, the shocking fraction of city space taken up by parking spaces, safety barriers/bollards etc. This 100 year experiment should be declared over, and we should put proper effort into the systems that HAVE been shown to work and scale: walking, cycling, e-cargo bikes, cheap/accessible/reliable public transport. This “argument” about LTNs is just lazy delay. #LTN#cities
"Cervix" means neck, and was historically called the neck of the womb. This makes reading old anatomy papers confusing, because other physicians called the vagina the neck of the womb.
The cervical vertebrae have always been at the other end, though. At the neck of the head.
All the people/see me as a fool
All the people say/that it's because of you
All the people/like to think they care
If you shake their hand and stab them/maybe they'd become sensitive.

Police aren't designed to "fight crime" - or keep people safe. They are designed as a counter-insurgency force against set populations.
"More notably, researchers analyzed the data to show how officers spend their time, and the patterns that emerge tell a striking story about how policing actually works. Those results, too, comport with existing research showing that U.S. police spend much of their time conducting racially biased stops and searches of minority drivers, often without reasonable suspicion, rather than “fighting crime.”'
Elon Musk has become the dominant power in satellite internet technology. The ways he is wielding that influence are raising global alarms.
4,500+ Starlink satellites are in the skies, accounting for 50%+ of all active satellites.
In Ukraine some fears have been realized. Musk restricted Starlink access multiple times during the war - once denied Ukrainian military’s request to turn on Starlink near Crimea, Russian-controlled territory, affecting battlefield strategy.
The aspartame in Diet Coke has been linked to several alarming health conditions. For example, in laboratory studies, it has been shown to contribute to the growth of foaming, apoplectic rage in food purists who can't believe you would put that into your body.
