If you know me, you know I've always thought that leaving twitter was 1) an absolutely fine personal individual choice but also 2) NOT something you should *insist* others do because it was *possible* that the good of speaking with others etc might outweigh the bad

Geert Wilders posted an islamophic image in a tweet a few days ago and is now being sued for it.
The thing is, the image is clearly AI generated. This means that the prompt for it is still around somewhere.
Under US discovery, that prompt would certainly be made public; possibly in the Dutch system as well.
This suggests some interesting possibilities. First, if Wilders made the image himself, his language in the prompt may have been more candid than his public persona.

Evidence for synchronisation of Gaia eclipsing binaries from their stellar rotational velocity

In this study, we focus on a subset of 977 short-period main-sequence systems with primary radii between 1.25 and 3 solar radii, effective temperatures from 5600 to 8000 K, orbital periods between 0.3 and 3 days, vbroad values from 30 to 300 km/s, eclipse depth ratios below 0.7, and eccentricity indicators |e cos(omega)| less than 0.1.

Recent advances in semantic segmentation of multi-modal remote sensing images have significantly improved the accuracy of tree cover mapping, supporting applications in urban planning, forest monitoring, and ecological assessment. Integrating data from multiple modalities-such as optical imagery, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and synthetic aperture radar (SAR)-has shown superior performance over single-modality methods. However, these data are often acquired days or even months apart, du…

Menstrual cycle length and regularity are important vital signs with implications for a variety of acute and chronic health conditions. Large datasets derived from cycle-tracking mobile health apps are being used to investigate the effects of various covariates on menstrual cycle length and regularity.

How did I not know that Dogtoberfest is a thing?
Yesterday, the tapping of the keg officially kicked off #Octoberfest in the Kitchener-Waterloo region of Ontario. For those Canadians who live in a cave, KWs Octoberfest is the largest beer festival in the world outside of Germany. It is the 57th anniversary of the event, and in my student days, the big draw was beer and buxom women serving and keeping us in line. But in recent years, there has been an effort to reduce drunkenness and increase the family friendly activities. Kidtoberfest and Dogtoberfest are now part of the festivities that draw happy participants from across Ontario and beyond. It also has the added economic benefit of increased lederhosen production for Canadian factories. Seriously, Google dog lederhosen.
