US House to vote on bill criminalizing boycott of 'Israel' in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Co-sponsored by pro-Israeli lawmakers Mike Lawler and Josh Gottheimer, the legislation proposes punishments of up to $1 million in fines or up to 20 years in prison.

idea for a bit: start campaigns to "Boycott Mike Lawler" and "Boycott Josh Gottheimer". Put up yard signs and posters and billboards in each of their districts (NY 17 and NJ 5) with their names and faces on it, calling for them to be boycotted and for businesses not to serve them. Like signs that say "do not trust this man, do not do business with this man, this man supports genocide." Find out what companies they own stocks in or who they get campaign donations from and start boycotts of those companies. Boycott any companies their family members own or work for.

The site has an e-shop with no products in it, and a purple button that says "LAWYER" that does nothing when clicked. The links in the menu are either broken or lead to a blank placeholder page. The estate planning page lists upcoming events located at "123 Legal Ave, Suite 100, City, State, 12345" and has obviously fake testimonials from "Johnathan Smith" and "Michael Brown" giving them five star reviews.

I've been interested in "locksport", competitive lockpicking, ever since reading about it in a Wired article about DEF CON years ago. During covid quarantine I got a transparent practice lock and a set of picks and started learning picking. It's pretty fun and I find it relaxing, kind of like a fidget spinner. Masterlock padlocks are super easy but I haven't practiced much on doorknobs or harder locks.

Anyone else taught Young Earth Creationism growing up? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I went to Catholic school growing up, so they weren't the young-earth type. They had a more balanced approach of, talk about the biblical origins of earth in religion class, but still teach the scientific origins of life in science class. The Catholic teaching is that when the bible says the earth was created in seven days, it's not literally seven days, God experiences time at a different scale than humans, so one day for him could actually be millions of years. Interesting how the different denominations get to pick and choose which bible passages are literal and which are figurative.

While I was in high school, a public school near me had a big trial and lawsuits about teaching intelligent design in biology class. Ironic that the Catholic school had a more science-based biology curriculum than the public schools.

In college I had a classmate who was very Christian. He was studying physics and wanted to work in aerospace engineering at NASA, and he did not believe in evolution. That blew my mind when I found out, that he was into science and fully educated on the subject but was just like "no, I don't believe that macroevolution is a valid theory". Like he's read Darwin but just thinks that he was incorrect.

Middle-Aged Man Trading Cards Go Viral in Rural Japan Town (www.tokyoweekender.com)
 

While kids in most parts of Japan are obsessed with Pokémon cards, the children of Kawara are clutching to something a little closer to home.

They are playing a trading card game (TCG) where the stars aren’t fantasy creatures, anime heroes or even famous baseball players, but ojisan (middle-aged or older men) from the local community of Saidosho.

On the surface, this Ojisan TCG looks like any other collectible card game. As of March 18, there are 47 different cards in the collection, including 28 featuring local men with stats and special abilities.

Take the Firewall card, for example. It features Mr. Honda (74), a former fire brigade chief who helped keep the town safe for decades. Then there’s Soba Master Mr. Takeshita (81), who runs a local soba noodle-making class and now holds legendary status among the town’s youth.

why did humans invent "get a job" and "go to work"? other animals don't have to "get a job" or "go to work"? seems unfair (hexbear.net)
 

why can't we just frolic in a meadow and eat berries in the sunshine?

why did humans choose "get a job" and "go to work" to occupy their time rather than hang out with friends and make music and art

DOGE Has Deployed Its GSAi Custom Chatbot for 1,500 Federal Workers (www.wired.com)
 

Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency has deployed a proprietary chatbot called GSAi to 1,500 federal workers at the General Services Administration, WIRED has confirmed. The move to automate tasks previously done by humans comes as DOGE continues its purge of the federal workforce.

GSAi is meant to support “general” tasks, similar to commercial tools like ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude. It is tailored in a way that makes it safe for government use, a GSA worker tells WIRED. The DOGE team hopes to eventually use it to analyze contract and procurement data, WIRED previously reported.

In February, DOGE tested the chatbot in a pilot with 150 users within GSA. It hopes to eventually deploy the product across the entire agency, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The chatbot has been in development for several months, but new DOGE-affiliated agency leadership has greatly accelerated its deployment timeline, sources say.

Elsewhere in the government, the United States Army is using a generative AI tool called CamoGPT to identify and remove references to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility from training materials, WIRED previously reported.

Why Vermont farmers are using urine on their crops (www.bbc.com)
 

Urine's power as a fertiliser is due to the nitrogen and phosphorus that it contains – the same nutrients that are added to the synthetic fertilisers used on many conventional farms. But these synthetic fertilisers come at an environmental cost. Nitrogen is produced using the fossil fuel-intensive Haber-Bosch process, and the mining of phosphorus creates harmful amounts of toxic waste. Urine, meanwhile, is freely available – as Williams puts it, "everybody pees. [It's an] untapped resource".

The UNRP (Urine Nutrient Reclamation Program) in Vermont is pioneering peecycling in the US, but projects in other countries are also underway. In Paris, volunteers are collecting urine to help save the River Seine and fertilise wheat for baguettes and biscuits. Swedish entrepreneurs saw the harm caused by algal blooms around the island of Gotland and came up with a product that collects urine and turns it into fertiliser. Peecycling pilots have also run in South Africa, Nepal and Niger Republic.
