Here's the fun thing about anti-vaxxers claiming that vaccines have dangerous side effects.

Scientists get funding to do research and they find the period immediately after vaccination is even lower than the already low risk, AND it has even more long term benefits than previously thought

Rise of the Robots: How Robots Are Changing Dairy Farms


Running a dairy farm used to be a rather hands-on experience, with the farmer required to be around every few hours to milk the cows, feed them, do all the veterinarian tasks that the farmer can do themselves, and so on. The introduction of milking machines in the early 20th century however began a trend of increased automation whereby a single farmer could handle a hundred cows by the end of the century instead of only a couple. In a recent article in IEEE Spectrum covers the continued progress here is covered, including cows milking themselves, on-demand style as shown in the top image.

The article focuses primarily on Dutch company Lely’s recent robots, which range from said self-milking robots to a manure cleaning robot that looks like an oversized Roomba. With how labor-intensive (and low-margin) a dairy farm is, any level of automation that can improve matters will be welcomed, with so far Lely’s robots receiving a mostly positive response. Since cows are pretty smart, they will happily guide themselves to a self-milking robot when they feel that their udders are full enough, which can save the farmer a few hours of work each day, as this robot handles every task, including the cleaning of the udders prior to milking and sanitizing itself prior to inviting the next cow into its loving embrace.

As for the other tasks, speaking as a genuine Dutch dairy farm girl who was born & raised around cattle (and sheep), the idea of e.g. mucking out stables being taken over by robots is something that raises a lot more skepticism. After all, a farmer’s children have to earn their pocket money somehow, which includes mucking, herding, farm maintenance and so on. Unless those robots get really cheap and low maintenance, the idea of fully automated dairy farms may still be a long while off, but reducing the workload and making cows happier are definitely lofty goals.

I don't know for certain if this is connected but it's a remarkable coincidence if it isn't. In the village of Weedon in Northamptonshire there is a used car dealer, I have never seen a tesla there before but in the last short while there have suddenly appeared quite a number of tesla cars. I strongly suspect it's a symptom of people's disgust.

Tesla will probably pull all the deferrals they've got to not look so bad for the earnings call coming in next week, but the rot has set in, there's no escape.

Feds Charge Ahead with Plan to Destroy #OakFlat

#SupremeCourt poised to consider #ApacheStronghold’s appeal

By Becket Law, Censored News, April 17, 2025

WASHINGTON – "The U.S. government today announced that it is forging ahead with plans to transfer a #NativeAmerican #SacredSite to a multinational mining giant in as few as 60 days, despite a
federal lawsuit challenging the action as illegal.

"In Apache Stronghold v. United States, Apache Stronghold—a coalition of #Apaches, other Native peoples, and non-Native allies—sued to stop the federal government from transferring Oak Flat to
Resolution Copper, a Chinese-owned mining company that plans to turn the site into a massive mining crater, ending Apache religious practices forever.

"The government has announced it will now forge ahead with the transfer even though the case is currently under consideration by the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Since time immemorial, #WesternApaches and other Native peoples have gathered at Oak Flat, outside of present-day #SuperiorAZ, for sacred religious ceremonies that cannot take place anywhere else. Known in Apache as Chi’chil Biłdagoteel, Oak Flat is listed in the #NationalRegisterOfHistoricPlaces and has been protected from #mining and other harmful practices for decades.
These protections were targeted in December 2014 when a last-minute provision was slipped into a must-pass defense bill [#NDAA] authorizing the transfer of Oak Flat to the Resolution Copper company.

"#ResolutionCopper now plans to turn the sacred site into a two-mile-wide and 1,100-foot-deep crater.

"The majority owner of Resolution Copper, Rio Tinto, sparked international outrage when it deliberately destroyed 46,000-year-old Indigenous rock shelters at one of Australia’s most significant cultural sites.

" 'The feds are barreling ahead to give Oak Flat to Resolution Copper, even as the Supreme Court considers whether to hear the case,' said Luke Goodrich, vice president and senior counsel at Becket. 'This makes the stakes crystal clear: if the Court doesn’t act now, Oak Flat could be transferred and destroyed before justice can be served.' "

Edgelord minions of Peter Thiel left this manifesto on the door to my building yesterday. Guess they were firing a shot across our bow but they didn't count that the Engineering School deals really harshly with unauthorized posters. To add to the indignity, the buttons in the elevator pictured weren't working until I went down to the basement and called it from there.

The image displays a video game title screen for "Hogwarts: Portkey Games." The background features a mystical landscape with a castle resembling Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, surrounded by mist and flying creatures like dragons and birds. The foreground shows a character in a dark cloak standing on a cliff, facing the castle. The text "Can't check for saved data in cloud storage. You can play the game with new saved data." is prominently displayed in the center. Below this text, there are two buttons: "Play Game" on the left and "Try Again" on the right. The username "Cynni Pixy" is visible at the top, and a code "CE-113246-7" is in the top right corner. The overall color scheme is a mix of blues and purples, enhancing the magical theme.
