FT - German politicians criticize media conglomerate Axel Springer for publishing an opinion article by Elon Musk in praise of the far-right AfD as anger grows over the tech billionaire’s increasing advocacy of right-populist parties in Europe.Journa.host
My article demonstrates that Legacy Admissions, not Affirmative Action, is the actual racist policy that destroys meritocracy. And that because Legacy disproportionately benefits unqualified white people, it is protected.
It's been read more than 50,000 times and shared thousands of times—and I've not seen even 1 single rebuttal.
Can't imagine why.🤔

“We need to get one thing out of the way: Rust is cool. It’s fun.
“It’s tempting to try to sweep this under the rug because it feels gauche to say, but it’s actually important for a number of reasons.
“For one, fish is a hobby project, and that means we want it to be fun for us. Nobody is being paid to work on fish, so we need it to be fun. Being fun and interesting also attracts contributors.”

Today I am testing a new #BoardGame with my humans. It's called Castles of Mad King Ludwig.
Results:
👎Top cover is too deep - not comfortable;
👍Bottom cover has a nice foam on the bottom so its not as deep and it's soft - very comfortable;
👎 The board is full of cards which are constantly moving under my tail - not comfortable
Hi all, I have what may be a strange request. My Nan is in a nursing home and can't go out due to mobility problems, but she loves birds. I show her bird photos I come across online but sometimes it's hard to find a lot of new/interesting ones. If you take any cool bird pictures, could you please add the hashtag #BirdsForBecsNan so I can find them more easily for her? The more colourful/exotic/pretty, the better, but she also likes to see rare/unusual birds.
(here is my crappy rosella photo)
Have a look at one of the later posts from @billyjoebowers about the sparrows.
Amazing.
I once had a sparrow chirp frantically at a group of people I was with. At first I thought it was trying to shoo us away from its nest. After a while I realized it wasn't behaving aggressively, but urgently. It was trying to get our attention so we approached it and it led us to another sparrow that was upside down and tangled up in dense ivy-like brush.
One of us managed to get up to the tangled bird to get it freed. It took a while and the whole time the bird that got our attention just hovered nearby watching us free its friend. It was making no effort to keep its distance from us. When we finally got the trapped bird free, the two of them flew off together.
I was astonished that an animal with such a tiny brain had the wherewithal to understand how to summon help and who to summon help from.
(Updated to include a photo of the incident that I found after I posted.)

Oh, Ian. For such a smart and respected man you sure do toot some shit sometimes. 
The security protocols behind this are well documented. Apple isn't 'sending your data to the cloud'. Rather, Apple has gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure that the data that they send to the cloud, which enhances on-device functionality, is encrypted and obfuscated up the wazoo.
You're being disingenuous _at best_ to suggest that this is not the case. Shame on you for amplifying this nonsense.
