APRIL Colloquium Fellow 2026
I'm pleased that I've been selected as 2026 Fellow for the Association for Public Religion and Intellectual Life (APRIL) Colloquium on “Representing Religion in Museums.”
The colloquium will provide a forum of like-minded cultural workers to discuss just how museums address religion and treat religious objects.

So far: Lion's Mane doesn't work in humans, aflatoxin contamination is dangerous, and very many herbal products on sale are not what it says on the label.

LCDS closed its investigation and shared results with the attorney general, then never heard back.
In its motion to dismiss, the school argued that it had no duty to report the images to local police because it’s only required to report tips on actual child abuse,
-- and AI images don’t qualify as that in the state, at least not yet

«Nutzer baff, nachdem Github nach tatsächlichen KI-Nutzungskosten abrechnete:
Künftig möchte der Anbieter die Nutzungskosten der KI nicht mehr selbst tragen»
Nun ja, überraschend kommt dies mMn nicht, da die Kundengewinnung fast immer über Niedrigpreise ausgeht und ab wann es genügend hat werden die Preise erhöht — und ja KI ist nicht günstig.

Starlink has by far the most satellites in orbit,
densely packed within a narrow altitude range, mostly near 550 kilometres from Earth.
A recent analysis by renowned space debris researchers Hugh Lewis and Donald Kessler shows that
this dense bit of orbit is the only altitude below 800 kilometres that is above the collisional runaway threshold.
In other words, if there is a collision at 550 kilometres altitude, the debris would collide with other satellites, making m…
