I once told a “Viking bro” that since Odin & Loki transformed into females (Loki notably became a Mare and gave birth to Odins 8-legged horse), that many Norse Gods were gender fluid and pansexual.
The particular shade of magenta that the Viking bro’s face became was glorious to behold.

This is one of the reasons we always ask guests on @lingthusiasm.bsky.social how they got interested in their research topic: not only does this lead to fun stories, but it also leads to explaining the research process and leaves room for uncertainty
New study finds that public health messages that acknowledge uncertainty and explain the scientific process lead to greater perceived trustworthiness and understanding compared to basic fact-based messages.

Apparently the Marty McFly piece wasn't done with AI, the artist posted the layers of the piece on Instagram. The dangers of including AI art in your projects means that legitimate artists are under further scrutiny- It poisons the entire well and needs to be stopped.

I appreciate everyone who calls out AI art but the Marty McFly piece is not AI. Sean Dove the artist posted this on his instagram.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

The thing about this is, is this is how born-rich people *already* do it - whether it's making art, or starting a business, or whatever they successfully do. They already know it works.
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
