Influential study on glyphosate safety retracted 25 years after publication
A 2000 study that concluded the well-known herbicide glyphosate was safe, widely cited since then, has just been officially disavowed by the journal that published it. The scientists are suspected of having signed a text actually prepared by Monsanto.

...Unless said President is in fact the one to whom all the drug dealers report. And you have a trial to prove that. In which case, yes you do put them in jail. I guess some you kill without trial, others you pardon. Cuz trials are stoopid?
Trump on pardoning the former president of Honduras: "That was a Biden horrible witch hunt. A lot of people in Honduras asked me to do that & I did it. I feel very good about it. If you have some drug dealers in your country and you're the president, you don't necessarily put the president in jail"

If LLM data centres that serve generative AI platforms were erased from the Earth…
…we’d be fine.
They prop up nothing of essential value we can’t do ourselves.
If we let them proliferate for a generation, we may lose institutional expertise.

Every day in the winter (the wind change in the winter) i walk down my beach and collect at least five and sometimes up to 20 of these useless things. After their glittery surfaces wear off they look just like jellyfish, tempting turtles to try to eat them. Ban the sale of mylar balloons everywhere.
Just stop with the balloon releases already!!!! This is what hapoens when you do dumb shit like that. These DO NOT fall apart, they sit down way down here and pollute. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 871 #asgardarchaea #MarineLife

Capital flows to the energy sector are set to rise in 2025 to USD 3.3 trillion.
Around USD 2.2 trillion is going collectively to renewables, nuclear, grids, storage, low-emissions fuels, efficiency and electrification, twice as much as the USD 1.1 trillion going to oil, natural gas and coal.
