Britain is preparing an aircraft carrier for possible deployment to the Middle East.
The HMS Prince of Wales, which carries F-35 jets, could be sent to the region.
The 65,000-tonne carrier returned to the
UK before Christmas following a nine-month deployment to the Indo-Pacific last year.
She is in Portsmouth undergoing maintenance.

Folks we need a different policy approach for sustainable industries that avoid tax vs non sustainable industries that avoid tax. For the former we need fairer taxation arrangements whereas for the latter we need to wind them down ASAP. A lot of smart people seem to be struggling with this rn 🤷

Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

Working on a q&a lecture for a class today: The story of robots is always a story about slavery. The story of LLMs labeled as AI is a story about class, and which humans pay the cost, including the physical toll on their bodies/minds, and the lack of water and electricity, so data centers can exist.

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

We don't know how many thousand civilians the Iranian Revolutionary Guard have murdered this year alone, the numbers are unverifiable.

More Poles return to Warsaw on evacuation flights Thousands of travelers have been stuck in the Middle East after airspace closures.

Polish military aircraft brought more citizens home from the Middle East as regional tensions escalate. Nearly 300 passengers were expected on several flights, with priority given to those needing medical assistance.

Abstract
Traditional vaccines target specific pathogens, limiting their scope against diverse respiratory threats.
We describe an intranasal liposomal formulation combining toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and 7/8 ligands with a model antigen, ovalbumin, that provided broad, durable protection in mice for at least 3 months against infection with SARS-CoV-2 and Staphylococcus aureus.
In addition, the vaccine protected mice from other viruses (SARS-CoV-2, SARS, SCH014 coronavirus), bacteria (Acinetobacter baumanni), and allergens.
Protection was mediated by persistent ovalbumin-specific CD4+ and CD&+ memory T cells that imprinted alveolar macrophages (AMs), enhancing antigen presentation and antiviral immunity. Following infection, vaccinated mice mounted rapid pathogen-specific T cell and antibody responses and formed ectopic lymphoid structures in the lung.
These results reveal a class of "universal vaccines" against diverse respiratory threats.

If you have a stand mixer, put on paddle attachment. Otherwise get your hand mixer ready. Put 1.5C tahini & a pinch of salt in the bowl and get it mixing.

Slowly pour in the sugar syrup while the mixer is running. Mix fast til it’s incorporated and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl

'Gerrymander': teal backer takes aim at donations cap - Michael West Caps on political donations should be removed for independent candidates, Climate 200 founder Simon Holmes a Court says, arguing reforms favour major parties.

“This new financial gerrymander (is) bad news for our cherished democracy,” he told the inquiry on Friday. “This is not reform. It is the preservation of incumbency, pulling up the drawbridge so that the political class can continue to underwhelm voters.” #Auspol

Hit-and-run driver who sent racist messages retains licence despite fatal crash Warning: With the permission of family, the following article contains the name of an Indigenous person who has died, as well as content and language some readers may find distressingA 26-year-old hit...

This piece of shit used his car to kill someone. Then joked about it.

He didn't go to jail.
He didn't even lose his licence.

Our so called 'justice' system is fucked beyond redemption.

A body has been found under the rubble of an apartment building struck by a Russian missile in Kharkiv tonight‼️

Unfortunately, the number of victims is likely to rise.

Russia is a terrorist state! Bastards! Murderers!

To go from not being able to point #Iran out on a map, to suddenly feeling confident enough to post with certainty what will happen if the regime falls is wild.

The casual dismissal of what Iranians themselves want and are capable of is gross, and sadly comes largely from self-styled progressives

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it
