Rob Stadler coming up with BS criteria to dismiss evolution as science while outright stating nested hierarchies in DNA are from God Just Doing It Like That a la Last Thursdayism is so hypocritical it's infuriating, especially when you add in how condescending he is

He's completely wrong AND a tool

And she knows, because she warns him, and her instincts never fail, that the female of her species lives on longer than the male. 🧪

(Yes, I couldn't resist the temptation of borrowing from Julia Ecklar's The Female of the Species)

Link: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Sex differences in ALE (Adult Life Expectancy) for taxonomic orders and families.
(A) Mean (white dots) order-level ALE differences, where horizontal bars show the 95% confidence intervals calculated from the weighted SEs across nine mammalian and 15 bird orders. Only orders with more than five species (gray points) were included. (B) ALE differences for 100 primate species. Red and blue bars show the 95% credible intervals, while the white dots show the posterior mean ALE difference. Color represents whether the mean ALE difference favored females (red) or males (blue). Opacity indicates the strength of evidence for those differences (zero overlap of ≤0.05). The tiles indicate whether the species is monogamous (yellow) or not (purple). Animal shapes were obtained from phylopic.org. (C) Posterior distribution of ALE differences for different populations of humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas, including the chimpanzee populations from the Taï National Park (Côte d’Ivoire), the Gombe National Park (Tanzania), and the Budongo Forest (Uganda) and the gorilla population from Mbeli Bai (Republic of Congo). The shaded areas under the curves show the 95% credible intervals.

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Order 'em now, I'll mail 'em in early November.

Edited screenshots from No Country for Old Men. Anton Chigurh (with cow horns and cow ears) sits in a hotel chair and asks someone across from him, "If the tool you followed brought you to this, of what use was the tool?"

In a zoomed out view, Anton sits silently behind a table with the 4 cow tools look8ng at his victim as if studying him.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

There's a tale of a dead-eyed corporate zombie who has absolutely no regard for the welfare of others and has become utterly hell-bent on delivering a provably dangerous technology purely for personal profit.

And the other one wanted to smuggle Xenomorphs back to Earth.
