Indeed. It's more on brand with Bild loving AfD, MAGA and is basically the German Gammon paper.

@davidlsims.bsky.social made a very important point at the end that netflix has democratised film watching. There are a lot of amazing arthouse or just very off beat films on there. Also for me as an occasional filmmaker: they have given a lot of new filmmakers a chance. Dark or Stranger Things.

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

A screenshot of the article title: Reframing oxytocin as a behavioral flexibility hormone

Scientific claims in biobehavioral oxytocin research are dependent on a “derivation chain”. Theoretical models are the beginning of this chain, which are dependent on a theoretical core supported by auxiliary hypotheses. Efforts to improve biobehavioral oxytocin research have tended to focus on auxiliary hypotheses related to experimental models (e.g., improving oxytocin delivery to the brain, polygenic approaches for genetics studies), and statistical auxiliary hypothesis (e.g., appropriate sample sizes for research). However, even if these issues are addressed, a poorly specified theoretical core (and associated auxiliary hypothesis) can lead to unreliable scientific claims

Oxytocin is typically described as a "social" hormone. In our new article, we propose that it should instead be viewed a hormone that modulates behavioral flexibility

Quick, kick a 2nd time and surely they will surrender.

Tweet Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again. If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

Back in my day you needed a senior engineer for this sort of thing

This BAFTAs n-word controversy is a tough one for @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social 🤔

Ah, these were the days when they had to get Corbyn on state TV...

Just headed over to FB and interesting to see that this account likes a film production company, a photographer, a medic and an influencer. I guess these skills come handy when "writing" this article...

Reform gammons can finally get their airfix spitfires out again.

The world is finally seeing what Ukraine deals with every single night.

The chaos caused by a few hundred drones across the entire Middle East last weekend is what a single Tuesday in Kyiv looks like.

Russia has launched tens of thousands of shaheds since this started

My Grandfather had Tourette’s. I know that he experienced prejudice and attempts to bully him. I’ve been pretty stunned that in the reaction to the Davidson episode, we’ve seen a lot of the ignorance that he, a man living his life in the mid 20th century, would have recognised only too well.

It's even worse that Labour now thinks the "real" and "raw" working class person is the rabid racist and not just excused but worshipped. As somebody living in a mostly working class part of Glasgow that's just highly offensive.

oh wait. Wasn't he a classical anti-US-imperialist tankie?

Or Varoufakis when the US left Afghanistan: "On the day liberal-neocon imperialism was defeated once and for all, DiEM25's thoughts are with the women of Afghanistan. Our solidarity probably means little to them but it is what we can offer - for the time being. Hang in there sisters!"

Time to remind of the the official Tankie guide to US-Iran war in 10 rules.

1. Being attacked by a nuclear power no longer means you should surrender immediately.

That only applies if Russia attacks
