OK, I know I was only promoting this podcast last week, but I just listened to the whole thing front-to-back and I really enjoyed it. I think some of you might too.

I was on the Ethical Machines podcast, where I talked about interpretable machine learning, bias feedback loops, the social and interdisciplinary backbone that generative AI needs, and receiving yellow cards in rugby. It was a very fun conversation.

I hope you'll listen to it and let me know what you think. Links below...

I asked this before.

Are there any chronic pain mutual help chats/discords?

I am at the end of my fucking rope

@shram86 I have a friend who has a network of folks with ME-CFS, I can ask her if that helps. It’s a chronic disease with many symptoms and pain is one of them

Just discovered that Meta AI has been enabled on my WhatsApp app with no option to disable it but I found a handy workaround - I've changed the app language to Gaeilge and that switches it off.

فکر می‌کردم شعر کتیبه از شاملوئه. لحن نا امیدی‌ش به شاملو می‌خورد. ولی لابد اخوان ناامیدتر هم بوده.
احساس می‌کنم اتفاق کتیبه داره برامون اتفاق می‌افته. یک عالمه هزینه خواهیم داد برای اینکه بچرخیم و ببینیم بعدی هم همینه.

@Privacymatters @thierry1thomas Thierry Iranian school girls (or women in general) in Iran don’t look like this at all. Wretched and not knowing what to do. This drawing is a bit insulting to us tbh.

@PotMetPetunias who are you, the Spanish Inquisition?

Go pick on someone else, I’m too sad to get in a fight.

@PotMetPetunias Did I just get mansplained about Iran? 🧐

2025-06-22

@PotMetPetunias I mean, I’m from there. So I know.

2025-06-22

@PotMetPetunias so like I said I use the one without the signs but it would be historically correct to use the other one

2025-06-22

@PotMetPetunias I actually thought the same way but found out later that the lion and sun have been the flag way before that. Look up on Wikipedia

State flag (1906- 1933)

More explanation - the flag on the left is the Islamic Republic flag - Here I have included one with no symbols and one with the historical flags of Iranian monarchies which included a lion and a sun. I use the one without symbols at the moment but either of the two are ok. The Islamic republic one is the one I ask you to please not use. #iran

Flag with a Green, a white and a red horizontal stripe and the design for allah in the middle in red. I have pointed out the parts of the flag that are the symbols of the IRThree-striped flag in green, white and red with no other symbolsSame flag but in the center there is a golden symbol of a male lion holding a sword (for real) and the rays of sun behind it.

If you are protesting, please don’t wave the flag of an oppressor (Islamic Republic) - use the three colors of Iran instead. Don’t be this person.
#iran

This is from an article by #AFP titled “Tens of thousands join pro-Palestinian marches across
Europe”

A protester in a black t shirt and cap wearing a keffiah and waving the the Islamic republic flag (green, white, red) which has the word allah in red in the middle.

Some Americans thought Trump was going to be the president of peace.

@Lana the two cities I spent most of my life in are Tehran and Los Angeles. So I think this is about me personally.
