Manatees touch snouts in the warm waters of the Three Sisters Springs wildlife refuge in Crystal River, Florida, US. More than 400 animals were in the area to escape from the cold gulf waters as manatees can not survive for long periods of time in cold water.

if you ramp up the production of information, you need better discernment, because your capacity limitations haven’t just magically increased

without better discernment things will break *even if* the quality of the additional information is high ….

it’s not just “AI slop” that’s a problem, just helping regular scientists to produce more is damaging if we don’t simultaneously provide better tools for discernment (human and technical) - but if anything, we are weakening those (e,g. by de-skilling)….

that’s a disastrous feedback loop in the making…

우원식 의장 “‘성평등 개헌’ 동의… 합의한 만큼 단계적으로 개헌하자” www.womennews.co.kr/news/article... "다만 성평등 개헌에 대해서는 조속한 합의가 어렵다고 봤다. 우 의장은 여성 대표성 확대 조항 등을 포함하는 성평등 개헌에 대한 입장을 묻는 여성신문의 질문에 “개인적으로 충분히 동의”한다고 말했다. 다만 “개헌 시기가 오면 모든 분야에서 개헌안을 들고나오고, 개헌안에 따라 반대하는 여론도 굉장히 높아진다. 그러다보면 개헌을 못하게 된다”고 말했다."

Bear’s-eye view … this image comes from a camera attached to a grizzly bear’s collar, as part of a project run by Washington State University and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The bears live on Alaska’s north slope, at the very top of the state. Researchers are trying to find out how they manage to eat enough to stay alive despite hibernating for eight months of the year.

Having been through the US immigration process (I got my first work visa more than 25 years ago and became a citizen in 2022), it's obvious to me that Americans have *no idea* how weird and tortuous their immigration system is:

A suburban house; on the law stand a couple, their backs to it, looking appreciatively upon it. On the lawn is a lawn-flag reading 'Chinga la migra' in ornate script, surrounded by butterflies and flowers. The flag is limned in red spokes.

진실화해위가 ‘중대한 인권침해'로 규정하고 재심을 권고한 과거사 사건의 재심 청구를 법원이 두 번째로 기각한 가운데, 재판부가 원심 자료를 확보하지 않고 기각 결정을 내린 것으로 나타났습니다. 이 재판부는 최근 김건희씨 1심에서 대다수 혐의에 대해 무죄를 선고한 서울중앙지법 형사합의27부(재판장 우인성)입니다.

A reminder, so people don’t forget. Substack unabashedly platforms and promotes literal Nazi publications.

If you publish on Substack or support authors there, you are paying rent for nazis. It’s that simple.

Refuse to support authors there, and they will move.

Ghost awaits:

The nazi problem:
arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20

2023. November 28: The Atlantic publishes expose of Substack, citing their “nazi problem.” December 21: Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie says nazis are welcome because he’s too fucking stupid to equate nazism with violence. Quote: “We don’t think that censorship (including through demonetizing publications) makes the problem go away. Our content guidelines do have narrowly defined proscriptions, including a clause that prohibits incitements to violence.”2025. July 28: Substack’s mobile app sends push notification promoting the nazi publication NatSocToday. July 28: Substack apologizes for glitch, but not for platforming nazis. Quote: “We have taken the relevant system offline, diagnosed the issue, and are making changes to ensure it doesn’t happen again.”2026. February 6, 2026: Substack is still platforming nazis. Including NatSocToday. Screenshot of a terminal command and results, showing that the nazi site is live as of February 6, 2026 at 6:56 GMT.

Out cold … in Sunrise, Florida, US, conservation officials are dealing with a spate of iguanas in torpor, handed in by residents who have found the reptiles immobilised by the cold. If temperatures drop low enough, iguanas will drop out of trees and stay immobile until they manage to warm up again.

Středa: Polsko se stalo první zemí, která zřídila vládní komisi pro vyšetřování případu Jeffreyho Epsteina. Dosud zveřejněné dokumenty totiž obsahují přes 1 000 dokumentů přímo souvisejících s Vladimirem Putinem a asi 9 000 dokumentů týkajících se Moskvy. FBI už dříve uvedla, že měla informace naznačující, že Jeffrey Epstein spravoval část majetku Vladimira Putina. Je známo, že Epstein archivoval všechny své zprávy, e-maily a dokumenty. Uchovával také videozáznamy a fotografický materiál. Nahrával a filmoval vlivné západní lídry – prezidenty, premiéry a šéfy velkých globálních korporací. Stále více komentátorů a odborníků proto naznačuje, že je velmi pravděpodobné, že se jednalo o předem připravenou operaci ruské KGB. Některé další evropské země taktéž zahájily vyšetřování vazeb Epsteina na politické elity ve vlastních řadách, ale primárně kvůli potenciálnímu obchodu s bílým masem a dalším zločinům. Ruská vlivová operace je ale čím dál pravděpodobnější a Polsko je tak první zemí, která se zaměřuje právě na ni. A také se stalo tohle facebook.com/dnesnaukrajine.cz:
