I worry that we are in a brief interregnum during which web browsers can provide good online translation of news stories in other languages, from foreign media.

Sooner rather than later, the big tech folks backing Trump will realize they can corrupt the online translation LLMs to bias foreign news stories in favour of their own political agenda. (After all, isn't propaganda the ideal application for AI slop?)

A long time ago in a galaxy far away, we put together a book of vegetarian starters. A few years later, I made this into an e book. If you want it, follow the link below. My wife did all the hard stuff (cooking), I just ate them! (And took the photos).

In a nutshell:

In the 1990s, neoliberal triangulation was sometimes a viable electoral strategy against a backdrop of economic growth and generalised optimism about the century ahead. In a world defined by stagnating wages, falling living standards, rising precarity and a faltering political and economic settlement, the so-called “third way” is an anachronism that can no longer deliver even short-term victories against compromised opponents. As long as nominally progressive and liberal parties continue to champion a broken system and reject transformative mass politics, the radical right will continue to win.

Democrats Have Only Themselves to Blame

Kamala Harris supporters are already blaming a stupid electorate and an inclement economy for their historic defeat, writes Luke Savage. Maybe it had something to do with cosying up to war criminals and billionaires?

This week's #NewBooks at the library: I chanced upon a very affordable copy of Atlas of Submarine Glacial Landforms from the #GeologicalSociety. A rare Dutch addition this week is De Thigmofiel by one of my favourite Dutch biologists, #MidasDekkers. Lastly, I offered sanctuary to a damaged copy of #Evolution and Fossil Record of African #Proboscidea from CRC Press
