I keep thinking about this post I saw from someone saying they would rather that more people die from cancer than that computational approaches be used for cancer research

the splintering of reality is unbelievable around this.

RE: https://ohai.social/@TarkabarkaHolgy/117134297730197472

I am sorry, I have to add an update based on a recent news article:

1. The memorial has been dismantled

2. It was supposed to depict a bird with a helmet, soaring into the sky

3. The design was - surprise, surprise - generated by #AI

4. The mayor claims he didn't see the finished product, because he was taking time off for pink eye

You can't make this stuff up

Interview: Prairieland Protester's "Act of Solidarity” became a 50-year prison sentence

Autumn Hill is "serving a 50-year prison sentence for protesting outside the Prairieland ICE jail last July."

She is "one of nine protesters convicted of terrorism-related charges after federal prosecutors accused them of being members of an 'antifa terror cell'."

This time tomorrow! Come watch for free at https://fest.nham.co.uk/ and hear some of my new stuff, including:
• The Cleaning-Up Rag, a tale of woe and Hammerbarn orders gone awry.
• See Me Now, an anthem about defeating adversity that you’ll swear is by the band 1927.
• Reviewer 2, a creepy gothic horror about academic peer review.

Also old favourites, including Big Boat Stuck [with a new verse!], Clank! I Just Thought of the Romans Again! [with a new verse!], Space Parity [“I’m on Hold to Telecom”], and many more. With a guest video appearance* by none other than Void, and candid cat content.

Schedule in the previous toot. 👆🏻

The best thing about Dolly Parton is that I've read maybe 40 opinions on why she was a great person, and each one was talking about a different reason.

“Consider the president’s trade war with Canada, one of our closest economic partners. There is no logical reason for this conflict, and it does not serve the interest of people on either side of the border. It is principally a function of Trump’s boundless ego and his monomaniacal obsession with tariffs as the path to national prosperity.”
