A simple 'thank you' would've sufficed. https://www.comicsands.com/tiktoker-aldi-socialist-shopping-cart?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram

Living in the Pacific Northwest, ferries are a fact of life - there's so much water around it's often the fastest way to get somewhere.

But here and there you hear someone pronounce it "furry boat".

There's a BIG difference.

A ferry boat is what I take to get to the office.

A furry boat is... this.

Prior research finds “ketogenic diet is efficacious in reducing alcohol craving, consumption, and withdrawal.” New study with 10 subjects finds ketone supplements “significantly blunted breath and blood alcohol concentrations, reduced alcohol liking and wanting more, and increased disliking.” https://academic.oup.com/ijnp/article/27/2/pyae009/7601198?login=false

Newsweek is a zombie publication, with nothing to do with the magazine once issued, and this bizarre article is a good reminder.

This story tells us that some people left their puppy with a sitter, and the dog didn't love it but it went fine. That’s it—that's the article. https://www.newsweek.com/owner-drops-dog-daycare-gets-update-three-days-later-1995485

Google is trying to jam "AI" into all of their products but an interesting element of the way they integrated it into Android Messages is "Gemini" shows up as a conversation, which means it is actually possible to block and report it to Google as spam

There are different accounts of the MAGA project and what it seeks to accomplish and control.

Today it’s about money and wealth. Other days it’s about opportunity. Still other days it’s about the body.

At the root of all this, though, it’s about knowledge. What counts as truth, who gets to arbitrate, what is “natural” and what is “alien.”

That’s the essence of all authoritarianism. Dominate the mind and the rest will follow.

Resist much, obey little.

Terrific idea. It's good for researchers, good for govt agencies, good for evidence-based govt policies, and good for boosting the likelihood that useful research will actually be picked up and used:

UK govt agencies may now register their "areas of research interest" (#ARIs) as #Octopus "research problems" — "making it much easier for researchers to identify potential opportunities for collaboration as they browse or search the [Octopus] platform for work relevant to their own areas of interest. Reciprocally, when a researcher publishes a piece of work linked to a governmental ARI ‘research problem’, they are given the option to pass their contact details on to the relevant department."

An independent Scottish republic?

A huge majority would support independence if it also meant removing the King as head of state.

A newly independent Scotland must be based on a foundation equality and democracy. These principles are simply incompatible with monarchy.
