@AdityaK22689133 @klara_sjo Yes, from a far enough distance you can no longer see the shit, unfortunately can still smell it.

@klara_sjo Your shithead is so fixated on shit that you can't perceive anything positive . Same city btw

Let's have a look at the beautiful city of Mumbai, India. 🇮🇳 Remember, this is India's most wealthy city, where their best and brightest live, where their most wealthy live.. before moving to the west.

@civ_enjoy Step 1: Complain about the upward looking camera angles. Step 2: Enforce downward facing angles. Step 3: Complain about the camera always looking down on women.

European Athletics have released new photography guidelines. It's a pity our sport our sport is going from celebrating the athletic physique to hiding it.

The selective environment in natural selection includes conspecifics as as competitors, rivals, and killers. Natural selection has no opinion on the morality of events or on whether they took place deliberately or not. Natural selection also doesn't care about reduced genetic diversity, if that is adaptive now it will be selected for now, regardless of the long term consequences for the species or its future adaptability. Reduced genetic diversity is typically the byproduct of a strong selection event, whatever the cause. What we can do is discuss these things consciously, which could effect decisions we make, which could change the selective environment on which natural selection will act.

@aimeeterese moronic post. natural selection favors traits that INCRAESE reproductive success in specific environments, not deliberate mass elimination of labeled "substandard" groups, which is very likely to reduce genetic diversity btw, this post could be easily paint you as "biotrash"

@klara_sjo Western democratic standards now dictate you must ignore the vote and do what you already decided, or run the vote again with slightly different wording, repeating until the people vote correctly.

Some say it's the closest democratic vote of our generation.

PER.C6 is a patented, immortalized human embryonic retinal cell line, originally developed by Crucell (now part of J&J) from a fetal eye sample in 1985. Used to produce influenza, poliovirus, and West-Nile virus vaccines and the discontinued J&J Covid-19 Jab. This isn't secret or hidden information, 1 minute of google will get you the details. Einstein's genius was not required.

@natuid @Luizmd You were apparently 2 years old when President Bush outlawed ALL fetal tissue being used They can get fetal stem cells from YOU, Einstein Everyone has stem cells, brainiac

Vaxxers, are you ok with scientists ripping out the eyes of an unborn baby without any anesthesia to develop the vaccines you inject your children with?

@DrDebraSoh Human's go to all the effort to conceal their ovulation only to then walk around with pink baskets.

In Finland, carrying a pink grocery basket tells shoppers you’re single & want to be approached. I like the idea, but how useful will this be if most men aren’t interested in dating anymore?

@docrocker1 @Luizmd Exactly what do you think terms like "tissue procurement" or "isolating retinal cells" involve? Ripped is hyperbolic language but you understand the cells are not teleported into the petri dish with science magic?

@Luizmd BALONEY No babies had their eyes ripped out Good Grief, you have a Gory imagination

@klara_sjo How about short clips get a very short outro, maybe just a single frame. Longer clips, say over a minute, get the 1.5 sec outro. So the ratio of outro to content stays low.

Outro is still annoying me. Not sure if I should just kill it or actually try and make something better.

@Kingbingo_ The exam was on welfare economics and social choice theory, is 15x the genius* in that field is desirable? * where genius is defined as answering exam questions correctly.

I see something interesting. S54 scored 16.5% in person but became a genius (100%) with AI. 15x the amount of genius is a huge deal for our future. This is a good thing.

@OwenShroyer1776 It's quite hard to take floating monkey boars seriously:

It's crazy that the White House is posting videos of alien space craft in flight and nobody seems to care.

@Breaking911 It's a sitting monkey with a boar on its head.

BREAKING: The Pentagon has released a fourth batch of UFO documents and videos, including what officials describe as the clearest footage yet—showing a large two-tiered object captured by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2020.

@FatJesusLive @goddek "the man who thinks he is black clearly had a sex change" - please don't misgender that proud black man. His sacred blackness is not determined by melanin. Your post is violent transracialphobic erasure of his embodied lived experience, bigot. ✊🏿

You're wasting your time on this guy. The man who thinks he is black clearly had a sex change that has completely changed his physical body from male to female. The man hasn't changed his pigmentation, lineage, or family history! What an idiot. I am more black than that moron because of my great-grandmother's side being black African slaves who were freed in South America during the revolt. So this guy is really ghost-faced Blackface without the black paint—same thing.

The Black guy nailed it.

@MastermanDavies @AllForProgress_ Establishing intent matters for one-on-on interactions between people or in small groups. It makes no sense to try to establish intent with bureaucracies, you'll never get a satisfactory answer. Better to apply the rule "the purpose of a system is what it does".

@AllForProgress_ In public policy, when something is obviously wrong & not getting fixed, there can only be 2 possible reasons 1. Government & regulatory agencies, media etc are incompetent &/or 2. the situation is deliberate &/or designed &/or captured to serve the interests of those with power.

There is a furnace in St Helens that has been alight, in one form or another, since before your great-grandparents were born. Glassmaking is one of the oldest things this country does well; they were blowing it on Wearside in the seventh century, and it was a St Helens firm that gave the world the float-glass process every modern window depends on. Now the government has found a way to tax it toward the exit. The mechanism is the packaging levy, Extended Producer Responsibility if you want the civil-service name for it, and it charges a manufacturer by the weight of the packaging it puts on the market. Glass is heavy. Plastic is light. So a material made from sand, soda ash and a little limestone, one that can be melted down and remade without end and never stops being recyclable, is billed as though it were the enemy of the planet, while the throwaway plastic beside it on the shelf gets off lighter for being flimsier. The numbers give the game away. Glass is around 5% of the packaging market and carries some 27% of the entire EPR charge. The GMB puts 4,752 glassmaking jobs in the firing line. The brewers reckon it is costing their trade £124 million a year and adding about 6p to every half-litre bottle, which you settle at the bar without ever being told why. There was, we were promised, a reset in June to bring the glass charge down; Whitehall's own working moves the figure by around 1%. A rounding error, handed over as a rescue. It takes a peculiar kind of talent to assemble a thing like this. A tax raised in the name of the environment, falling hardest on the one everyday material that is endlessly reusable and harmless in the ground, and lightest on the stuff that chokes the rivers we are also instructed to mourn. A British glassworks already pays some of the dearest industrial energy in the developed world to hold its furnaces at 1,500 degrees; now it is sent a bill for the crime of making something built to last. A competent government would do the obvious thing and price packaging by the harm it does once it is thrown away, not by what it weighs on the scales, and a glassmaker in Yorkshire or on Merseyside would wake to find the state was on the side of the thing it makes. Progress has written that programme out in full, because knowing what to do was never the hard part. So if you make things for a living, or you have watched an industry you were proud of taxed and lectured into the ground and felt the anger that earns, do something heavier than feel it. The furnaces will not keep themselves open, and the formula will not un-write itself because you were annoyed online. Time to help build something that's going to change the picture.

@Tyr808 @klara_sjo Yes, both are failures at a higher level. In the analogy, it's the state's failure to "mercilessly crack down" and with Klara it's X's failure to deal with the bulk content scrapers. Neither the shop nor Klara should be having to solve problems caused by bad actors.

As extreme as the analogy is, it does make sense. The problem though, just like in the analogy, is when a shop or creator doesn’t perform the necessary security that their peers are they just get rolled over for free. It’s not like you can sidestep the game by not playing, you simply lose by default. In both cases the only real solution is to mercilessly crack down on bad actions with severe consequences. We have seen massive low value and content stealing accounts get demonetized on X though fairly recently, and it’s had a big impact.

Can't believe I'm actually soliciting opinions but here we are. What should happen with the winky outro?

@aimeeterese Forcing your enemy to improve their genetics is a curious tactic.

Sweden banned cousin marriage last year to combat coercive control in migrant communities. It doubtlessly contributes to clannishness and makes criminal cartels much stronger, blood is thicker than water.

Problem: The Catholics listen to the Pope's "let the poor and suffering violent immigrants into your country". While the violent immigrants don't listen to the "don't do crimes" because they're not Catholic and therefore have no reason to listen to the Pope. Result: Violent immigrants in the country doing crimes, often to the most vulnerable.

@ApeDukat @Michel_Ruffeil @visegrad24 Really? He tells them to obey the laws, that includes not committing violence. thefederalist.com/2026/06/16/pop…

Not far from the Vatican there is a cemetery where a young girl called Desirée Mariottini is buried. Desirée was a 16-year-old girl who was drugged and raped over two days until her death by a gang of Senegalese and Nigerians migrants in a “drug den” in the San Lorenzo district of Rome in 2018. Her rapists, Mamadou Gara, Brian Minteh, Alinno Chima and Yusif Salia were undocumented migrants who arrived to Europe via Lampedusa. When will Pope Leo go pay his respects at her grave!?

@Beatlesfab3 @sduncanhealth Oh, so why are they adding synthetic folic acid to flour?

@sduncanhealth There is no neural tube defect problem in the UK what utter lies.

The UK has a neural tube defect problem. The government's answer: add synthetic folic acid to all flour. But nobody is asking why folate conversion broke down in the first place. The answer involves a herbicide. 🧵

@HowardWorf @sduncanhealth @Pegsterone No, you're thinking of Lysenkoism, comrade.

@sduncanhealth @Pegsterone What a load of utter pseudo scientific bollocks. Sorry, has to be said.

@ministerofspice @Glinner x.com/natuid/status/…

@natuid @Glinner That may or may not be true, but you can forget about linking to wikipedia for anything related to Gaza or Israel. It’s a joke, especially now that they’ve blocked a co-founder. But even before that.

Based.
