I've recently been reading about the rediscovery of the ancient grain, grano del miracolo, aka the wheat Triticum turgidum. The flour from this ancient grain is lower in gluten, and higher in iron and phosphorous and essential amino acids. Apparently it gives bread a nutty and sweet flavor, I would love to try it one day...

Elon Musk’s election spending is a tiny fraction of his net worth. For scale, it’s as if a person with a net worth of $1M dropped $633.71 on candidates. I’ve spent way more!

We must neutralize Musk. Deport him, arrest him, seize his assets—something must give!

To me, the fundamental value proposition of genAI is becoming more clear every day: it’s grand theft of human labor, resold as a generic pink goo, extruded by a handful of venture-backed companies, at the expense of our environment and cognitive health.

We need a better name for this phenomenon. Here are some suggestions: #GrandTheftAutocomplete #LargeTheftModel

Aside - Cubic (a US multinational corporation, I believe) was awarded this contract despite NZ have at least 3 very experienced local transit ticketing companies who've been grafting for decades. Rather than establishing an 'open standard' for pubtrans ticketing & creating a marketplace where the user wins, gov't killed the local players & awarded a monopoly to a foreign corporation. The gov't decision-makers are not worthy of their roles.

Dear people making websites:
I get that having a site that creates itself as you scroll the page may look neat, but having a site that prevents a user from using [Cmd] - [F] to FIND A THING on the page is...
I can think of stronger words, but I suppose I'll use:
rude.

You could do worse than Jon Ossoff for majority leader.

I’d take Chris Murphy too.

Schummer and Jeffries are going to find themselves out to pasture if they keep this talk of "moving on." I want AOC-style level of investigation. I want Ted Lieu running investigations. I want committees and subcommittees pushing to investigate every single one of those basterds.

News: Jon Stewart Calls for Chuck Schumer Ouster After Blue Wave: ‘Bulls–t System and It Needs to Go’ | The Wrap

Jon Stewart is urging Democrats to remove Chuck Schumer and other senior leaders to make way for new voices ...one of the first things Democrats should do following their wins on Election Night is remove much of the party's senior leadership and start fresh. That starts with Schumer, who... does not deserve as much credit as he's been seeing for the wins.

It’s cool because our society is investing more real resources into LLMs than it did in going to the actual moon in the sky in order to transform our shared global body of information into an untrustworthy pile of shit.

Remember that there is no difference between restoring a society to the rule of law, and prosecuting people who broke the law. Zero difference.

“Truth and reconciliation” requires testimony and prosecution. They are literally the same thing. Letting criminals off the hook is the opposite of the rule of law.

Ohh are they turning on Nosferatu Goebbels now? This is gonna be good.

You guys... 2.5 TRILLION gone. Can you say *POP*

"NZ is a laboratory for experiments' - from the Atlas Network's own site - experiment that are harmful to people. They want to tear down constitutional and indigenous protections that guard sovereign nations against corporate/oligarch ownership of the whole globe.

And they've fully dropped David Seymour in it for baldly lying to Mihirangi Forbes in an interview when she asked him if he or the ACT party were connected to the Atlas Network in any way. He said no. Very shamefully, NZ's civil society closed ranks around Seymour & has expelled Forbes. She need to be reinstated by the state's media with extreme haste. And all NZ Media need to disclose Atlas Network affiliation for all 'experts' they trot out. Anything less is holding the door for these pricks.

Watching an academic discussion about how the Atlas Network has chosen to use Aotearoa NZ into a petri dish for developing pseudo-independent right-wing, neoliberal institutional influence by gaming human nature. Wow. This is cold hard rational evil.

The day after the Blue Apocalypse ICE pushed aggressively in cities across the country, kidnapping people of their streets.

Don't lose sight of what we're fighting against.

It's about more than Congress and always has been.
