If it was an AI it was most definitively a person who simply does not care.

So the fact that we bombed a girls elementary school, while likely using AI for targeting, is going to be a major headline story dominating American news coverage when exactly?

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

it would also be in the long run sadly accurate.

Got it. Assuming your department has some sort of review process (e.g. for reappointment), talking with your head and mentor/s about how to prioritize your projects may still be helpful. (I realize this may be too vague or obvious to be useful. And, full disclosure: I struggle with this a lot.)

My 2 cents: having a conversation with your department head about criteria/process for promotion at your department may help to prioritize some projects over others. Talking to mentor (and/or trusted colleagues), may also help!

Sewickley father detained by ICE as 6-year-old daughter begins cancer treatment His arrest came just two days before his 6-year-old daughter, Maria, began treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma.

ICE abducted a father of a six-year-old who is undergoing cancer treatment in a suburb outside Pittsburgh on Sunday and took him to a detention center in West Virginia.

The cruelty is boundless.

The best case scenario is that Trump will waste $38 billion. The more likely outcome is that these will become warehouses of human suffering, and a permanent stain on America's history.

Tal vez haya datos sobre esto, pero mi impresiΓ³n es que Bluesky es una plataforma predominantemente anglΓ³fonaβ€”y que ademΓ‘s su parte hispana, ya de por sΓ­ limitada, es predominantemente ibΓ©rica.

I learn, reading U. Le Guin, that H. G. Wells called his early works (early examples of what later would be known as science fiction) as "scientific romances" or "fantasies of possibility."

Gabions are quite useful in civil/road engineering as low cost containment walls. In that context they can be quite beautiful. Here, they don't. (They are not doing what they are supposed to do.) Perhaps a more inspired/refined Gabion recontextualization is Herzog & DeMeuron's Dominus Winery.

The fight against fascism is also a fight for a shared sense of reality. We see demagogues twisting the facts and blatantly lying, while legacy media are keen to present every story as a matter of conflicting interpretations. With social media drowning in #AIslop, this is only going to get worse

Human brains feed off of negativity. Negative thoughts are easily digested and play in a loop in your mind all of the time. The reality, however, is that there is also A LOT OF GOOD happening every single minute. You have to do more work to pay attention to the good but it's worth it.
