Perched in Thought

Here’s a tufted titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor), caught mid-thought and mid-song.

Tufted titmice are a favorite among a select group of bird enthusiasts. To celebrate these charming creatures, I’ve curated a special collection dedicated entirely to them in my photo gallery. Take a look!

#AI suddenly feels like a vague, unpredictable leap of evolution we're not ready for as a species. We definitely don't know how #children will be affected, but it's not rocket science to imagine their minds will be transformed by the #technology. This neuroscientist/psychologist has thought deep about how AI will affect her own kids' pliable young brains. Given her serious concerns, should we be worried? https://medium.com/wise-well/ai-is-disrupting-how-young-brains-grow-c1f30196ac63 ?sk=f3121698f76982b60524be66bc63fc9b

Das Bundeskabinett hat Entlastungen bei den Strompreisen auf den Weg gebracht. Dafür ist ein Milliarden-Zuschuss vorgesehen. Was bedeuten die geplanten Änderungen für private Verbraucher und Unternehmen? Ein Überblick.

in reply to Categorical Imperative

„Denn Netzgebiete, in denen selbst viel Strom erzeugt wird, sind weniger abhängig von den Übertragungsnetzentgelten. Dort käme entsprechend weniger von der Entlastung an als in Netzgebieten, in denen eine geringere Stromerzeugung anfällt"

Auf Deutsch: Belohnen, wenn nichts gemacht wird.

in reply to Saupreiss #Präparat500 🗽

@Saupreiss Das war so ziemlich mein Fazit, ja. Belohnt werden die, die am meisten verbrauchen (Industrie) und die, die am wenigsten Erneuerbare ausgebaut haben.


I've seen people say you should get the basics of a videogame working first and can figure out how to make it fun later.

Does that actually work? Do you actually get anything good that way? That sounds like the path to get cursed designed problems.

"Finally I would like to address the recent shakeups at CDC" Kennedy claims his mass firings were to restore "gold standard" science bc CDC caused "generational damage" during COVID by masking infants & closing schools & failing to do anything ab the disease itself. We had disproportionate deaths.

L'immagine mostra un vaso sanitario bianco con un foglio secco giallo-arancio galleggiante all'interno. In alto, c'è un testo in italiano che recita "QUANDO UN VEGANO CAGA". In basso a sinistra, c'è un piccolo logo con la scritta "IGNORANZA DECODIFICATIVA". L'immagine è un meme che utilizza un'immagine surreale per creare un effetto comico, giocando sulla stereotipazione di un vegano come una persona che non consuma alcun tipo di prodotto derivato da animali.

Hitchcock's timeless horror might not be his very best but it remains a genuinely disturbing watch, perhaps even more than 'Psycho'. Ornithophobes need not apply. As ever, thanks for the support and I'd appreciate the odd #boost if you feel like it. 👍

How come the transphobes are always yelling about "men in women's bathrooms" or "men in women's sports"? Specifically, they're never saying "women in men's bathrooms" or "women in men's sports" ... I feel like I know what bias creates this but I have a hard time putting it into words. It might seem they are completely blind to the existence of trans men. But that's not it...it's more like they're using cis women as a group that has no voice of its own, much like they use fetuses.



Macron said after the Paris meeting that 26 countries are ready to send troops to Ukraine or provide support at sea and in the air as part of the “Coalition of the Willing.” He admitted the US has yet to specify its role, with details expected in the coming weeks, while also claiming that Russia has already lost over 1 million troops killed and wounded.
