The @washingtonpost.com pic choice (i.e. not the winner) speaks either for their ignorance or for their malicious intent. Which one is more likely?

musk & co might find themselves genuinely surprised that in real countries (i.e. with a critical mass of people with agency) is not that easy to swing elections by pumping money

being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)

Tomorrow will mark three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. A day that will forever live in infamy. Today we’re hoisting the Ukrainian flag at our headquarters. It is flying high and proud at the heart of Europe. Where it belongs.

Had good exchanges on the phone this weekend with Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer. We discussed our unflinching support to Ukraine, financially and militarily. We shared updates on our contacts with US partners and discussed plans for the defence and security of our continent.

thanks to @solalpirelli.bsky.social for this nice piece on pseudoscience published by IEEE - and the need for the publisher to step up to the plate and start retracting this garbage if they want to retain any credibility. deevybee.blogspot.com/2025/02/ieee...

Progress is improvement in human lives. Tech change that harms people is neither innovation nor progress. The point is to make things better, more effective, safer, cheaper, cleaner, nicer - for individuals & communities. The notion that a human rights-centered approach hinders progress is absurd.

Yes. You can "outsource" knowledge acquisition/production up to the very last layer but to the extent that you do that, you actually don't *have* that knowledge

Feynman’s “what I cannot create I cannot understand” is overused and shopworn. But his distinction between Greek and Babylonian styles in theory-building is very deep and needs to be better known.

The language for doing that can't be a homogeneous system, it's something unstable, always heterogeneous, in which style carves differences of potential between which things can pass, come to pass, a spark can flash and break out of language itself,

I think what I find so repellent about the far-right is the sheer nihilism at its core. For all the talk of culture and identity, they are just flimsy masks strapped over, in Arendt's words "the intoxication of destruction as an actual experience, dreaming the stupid dream of producing the void.”
