All of the fascist horrors playing out in front of us today have been enabled by the bipartisan consensus that has prioritized an expansion of the PIC & surveillance state at any & all costs in order to serve & protect the violence & cruelty of our systems of whiteness/capitalism.

Israel has violated the ceasefire at least 1,500 times since it came into effect, according to Gaza’s Gov't Media Office.

This is because a statistical model of word frequency is not a useful tool for modeling the complex interactions of the human body
⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.

An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others.

While REO was atop the charts for most of March 1985, that month saw the release of The Power Station's eponymous album.
Its 2 big hits - "Some Like It Hot" & the T. Rex cover "Get It On (Bang a Gong)" - were my least favorite tracks on a really strong album.
