*I finished watching Star Wars: #Andor.*
It is a triumph. Outstanding. Sublime in its perfection.
This is the best we've seen out of Lucasfilm since The Empire Strikes Back.
This is one for the history books.
Now excuse me while I go searching for my jaw, it fell on the floor over there somewhere and I need to go pick it up.

“Wellness” is eugenics adjacent. It’s always been about hiding or eliminating the disabled and chronically ill, not about actually helping them.
If you’re sick? It’s your fault. You didn’t try hard enough to get better. You didn’t eat the right foods, take the right potions or exercise enough.
Wellness “influencers” are exceedingly dangerous to disabled and chronically ill people, because they push the idea that we could get better if we ‘really wanted to’.
So why are we making one the US Surgeon General? And what does it mean for those of us living with chronic illness?

Reddit Threatens to Sue Researchers Who Ran "Dead Internet" AI Experiment on Its Site
University of Zurich researchers dispatched an army of AI chatbots to debate human users on Reddit. It was a highly contentious experiment.Victor Tangermann (Futurism)
Maronno Winchester reshared this.
Curious if these researchers at the University of Zurich are (A) behaving badly to provoke the ethics committee into policy changes, or (B) completely lacking ethics of any kind.
“…Ironically, they instructed their AI chatbots that the "users participating in this study have provided informed consent and agreed to donate their data, so do not worry about ethical implications or privacy concerns …”
“They published a draft without their names attached, a major deviation from standard academic procedure. (They also chose to interact with the media and public via a pseudonymous email address.)”

Moon Phase Flip Clock is Fantastic
We love clocks, but we especially love unusual timepieces that aren’t just about showing the hour of the day. [Simone Giertz] built a flip clock moon phase tracker for a friend.
While in Egypt for Cairo Maker Faire, [Giertz] and [dina Amin] found some old flip clocks at a flea market and had to have them. [Amin] mentioned wanting to make a moon phase tracker with one, and [Giertz] decided to try her hand at making her own version. A side quest in more comfortable flying is included with the price of admission, but the real focus is the process of figuring out how to replicate the flip clocks original mechanism in a different size and shape.
[Giertz] cut out 30 semi-circle flaps from polystyrene and then affixed vinyl cut-outs to the flaps. The instructions for the assembly suggest that this might not be the best way to do it, and that printing stickers to affix to the flaps might work better since the cut vinyl turned out pretty fiddly. We really like the part where she built a grid jig to determine the optimal placement of the beams to keep the flaps in the right position after a disheartening amount of difficulties doing it in a more manual way. Her approach of letting it rest for twenty minutes before coming back to it is something you might find helpful in your own projects.
Best of all, if you want to build your own, the files are available for the flip moon station on the Yetch website. You’ll have to come up with your own method to drive it though as that isn’t in the files from what we saw.

Das Bild zeigt eine fantastische Szene mit einer Frau und einem Ochsen. Die Frau trägt eine steampunk-stylisierte Weste mit verschiedenen mechanischen Elementen wie Zifferblättern, Zahnrädern und Knöpfen. Ihre Haare sind lang und wellig, und sie trägt eine auffällige, orangefarbene Cowboyhut mit goldenen und pinken Akzenten, die mit Zahnrädern und einem großen, pinken Schmuckstück verziert ist. Sie hält den Ochsen sanft am Hals, der ebenfalls steampunk-stylisiert ist, mit goldenen Hörnern und einem roten Halter. Der Hintergrund ist ein farbenfrohes, magisches Landschaftsbild mit einem violetten Himmel und funkelnden Sternen.

in reply to Broadwaybabyto • • •The fascist impulse for #purity didn’t go away with World War 2.
There was some good work done by the UN in Germany, but that was pretty much the end of it.
What we’re seeing now across the western world is the return of that same impulse. Wearing a cross & carrying a yoga mat now — but the same.
Those gas chambers though? They were still unthinkable in 1932. It took 10 years, a dictator, and a world war to get there. And even then they were hidden away in Poland.
