A complex radio signal alone wouldn’t be evidence of intelligence either; it would need recognisable patterns inconsistent with any known natural origin If cells contained structured symbolic encoding inconsistent with any known biological mechanism, you’d have an argument

@DrKatrin_Rabiei Lots of respect for your engagements.

I haven’t been as present on X lately, but absence from the timeline has never meant forgetting a free Iran. Advocacy does not begin or end on social media. It lives in the rooms we enter, the conversations we shape, the colleagues we engage, and the values we carry with us wherever we go. In April, I had the honor and pleasure of being invited to Stockholm to take part in discussions on a free Iran and to hear our #KingRezaPahlavi‌ vision for its future. In Brussels, we advocated for European brain health. In Spain, I was invited to lecture on advocacy for our profession and our mission for our patients. And in every space, in every discussion with colleagues, the name of Iran came up. I met many colleagues who share our vision and who understand that a free Iran matters far beyond Iran’s borders. Some even greeted me in Spain with the words: “Free Iran!” Because for me, advocacy can be for science, for our profession, for patients, and for human dignity. But the highest level of advocacy is, and will always remain, for a free Iran. The flag of a free Iran follows me wherever I go, not only on social media, but in real life. In conference halls, policy discussions, academic exchanges, professional platforms, and every place where truth and freedom must be spoken. Keeping that flag high is not a slogan and a free Iran is not an abstract dream. It is a mission carried by all of us who refuse to let the world forget the courage, dignity, and rightful future of the Iranian people. My voice may be quieter here at times, but the advocacy continues, everywhere I am, and everywhere Iran must be named. For a free Iran. Always.

En scen från besöket då Xi visar en trädgård i Zhongnanhai för Trump. Trump frågar om Xi brukar ta dit ledare på statsbesök, t ex premiärministrar. Xi svarar att det är mycket mycket sällsynt … ”Putin har varit här”. Trump nickar med förstående min. Xi vet precis vilka rattar han ska vrida.

@FMannerheim Aldrig förr har så många utför så lite för så mycket pengar. Alla dessa bullshit jobb.

@vonderleyen @EU_Commission I am sorry, but you should not be proud. You are a physician, and so am I. You should know that there is no substantial evidence supporting hormone and surgical treatment of gender distressed children. This has to stop. >

Claiming Israel trains dogs to rape Palestinians is modern day blood libel — propaganda pushed as more horrific details emerge about Hamas’ systematic torture on Oct. 7. For being Jewish — Hamas raped a woman and burnt half of her face off in front of her husband; shoved nails, metal, and sharp objects into Israeli women; forced family members to sexually assault each other so that if they survived they would be traumatized by the sight of each other; raped corpses; the list goes on. Distracting from these atrocities and smearing Israel while victims still fight for acknowledgment is sickening.

a little budapest humor bringing me back to the soviet days. : )

Within four months, Russia has increased the number of military personnel operating drones by 28,000; by the end of the year, this figure could rise to 168,000. The Ukrainian Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert "Magyar." If you live in the EU, please do not read any further! EU Personnel for Military Drones: Fewer than 1,500 certified military drone operators across all EU armed forces combined.

@Sakine Stämmer säkert.

@TorstenAkesson Känner ingen argument från debatten om mödomshinneoperationer.

Tidningen Mitt i intervjuar SD-politiker med det klurigaste namnet någonsin (Msciwoj Swigon). Men bortsett från det: ”…icke medicinskt motiverad omskärelse ska inte betalas med regionens pengar.” Görs det i dag? Om ja: i fler regioner än Stockholm? Och från när?

What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The coolest art social experiment I’ve seen in a while. Thank you @SHL0MS

@ThomasSowell He doesn’t grasp that he is working for getting Farage as next PM.

Q: "Is it transphobic to say only women have a cervix?" Keir Starmer: "It is something that shouldn't be said. It is not right."

Det är inte en ytlig retorisk utsmyckning att Xi i sin inledning hänvisar till Thukydides fälla. Det finns mycket i det Peloponnesiska kriget och speciellt dess efterdyningar att hänvisa till; Xi syftade inte på det ytliga att Sparta (USA) besegrade Aten (Kina).

@ulrichspeck Wonder which emotions go through Xi’s mind while enduring the rambling.

Trump being Trump ...

Hur de Gaulle introducerade som lag, att anställda ska få ta del av ett företags vinst.

I Västra Götaland var systemet de facto stoppat innan utgången av 2024, men trots detta fortsatte Region Skåne sin egen process till det bittra slutet.

Helvetet i Gaza? Det kvarstår. Helvetet i Södra Libanon? Kvarstår. Och det israeliska samhället verkar inte ha insett vidden av vad dess ledare har åsamkat folk.

I’ve written and researched the whole seven front war since 7th October. It has been my whole professional life. I’ve written many papers and have just finished my book. I have written both positive and negative critiques of the war. All of that feels irrelevant in this context. The most meaningful thing I have done since 7th October is bear witness and relay the horrors done that day. I have seen part of the sexual crime evidence in this report (above and beyond the 47 minute reel) and it remains the most horrific thing I have seen in my life. Nothing Israel has done in Gaza comes remotely close to the horrors of 7th October. The Gaza war and 7th October don’t deserve to be in the same conversation when it comes to atrocity. No comparison. The rapes are the thing Hamas and their supporters are most scared of being exposed to the world. Every time I have written about what I have seen, 5x the usual amount of bots descend upon my replies. Abuse and outright denial. Now, the evidence I have seen, and more, is out there. When Yoav Gallant said Israel was fighting human animals in Hamas, he was absolutely correct. Read it for yourself: civilc.org/silenced-no-mo…

Ukraina behöver 5-10 000 personer för att hantera försvaret mot Shahed-liknande drönare, och en produktion av 1 000-1 500 interceptor drönare om dagen. Sverige behöver en färdig plan för att snabbt kunna bygga upp sådan kapacitet, dvs att utan diskussion och tveksamheter kunna sätta igång om beskedet ges.
