Football GOAT Tom Brady Seeks to Follow in the Footsteps of Basketball GOAT Michael Jordan: Brady Is Moving Forward In Bid to Acquire Ownership Interest in the Las Vegas Raiders
Tom Brady‘s bid to acquire a minority ownership interest in the Las Vegas Raiders is “making progress” according to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Goodell made the remarks at the Annual NFL Team Owners Meeting in Orlando, Florida. Following in the footsteps of basketball GOAT Michael Jordan, football GOAT Tom Brady is seeking to acquire an ownership interest in a professional sports franchise. Jordan owned the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets for 13 years, before selling the team for approximat…

I was going to post a question on Reddit about what two or three comics I should start reading that would be relatively easy to get caught up on and have good characters with little to no triggery stuff in them and have some fantasy or space opera elements, but then I realized that literally any subreddit I would post in would immediately ban my post for failing to follow some obscure rule about asking research questions and I’d be admonished by some mod for failing to have already ingested seventeen years of that specific /r/‘s culture and mores.
EDIT: because this is getting all the right kinds of lovely folk boosting—stuff I love in comic books would be things like Catherine Asaro’s Major Bhaajan, steampunk elements (god I don’t have the energy to catch up on Girl Genius but I used to love it), Honor Harrington, Xena Warrior Princess, anything hopeful future like Star Trek, the anime series Trinity Blood, no fae sexy shit because I already know how to find ACOTAR on Libby and I don’t need an illustrated guide, and whimsy eg a Psalm For The Wild-Built.

Hey friends, sorry for the spam. But I just rediscovered this shot and remembered this uncommon situation where we decided to retreat from a hike as we didn't feel comfortable of crossing the part ahead. One of us was also a little afraid of heights ... a challenging section paired with anxiety - in such situations I don't hesitate a second to cancel.
And NEVER give that person a bad feeling. I hope you agree.

Choosing Safety Over Summit
Choosing a recommended trail, we confronted a precarious section, captured in the poignant photograph. This narrative explores the wisdom of prioritizing safety over summit ambitions, discovering that true adventure lies not just in peaks but in the courage to retreat

This morning’s #SpammerDuJour is from the unending fount of poop that is my day job's "careers" inbox, on our .ch domain. Most of that flow is a single uninteresting German-language spammer who always hits twice in the same round, recently advertising office chairs. Sent via the same handful of shoddy VPS providers and networks full of compromised personal machines. Boring.

Happy and blessed Easter for all who celebrate it, at sea, in foreign ports and ashore, seafarers, Families and friends.
Frohe Ostern allen, die es feiern, auf See, in fremden Häfen und an Land

How motility drives the glassy dynamics in confluent epithelial monolayers?
As wounds heal, embryos develop, cancer spreads, or asthma progresses, the cellular monolayer undergoes glass transition between solid-like jammed and fluid-like flowing states. During some of these processes, the cells undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT): they acquire in-plane polarity and become motile. Thus, how motility drives the glassy dynamics in epithelial systems is critical for the EMT process. However, no analytical framework that is indispensable for deeper insight…

AIR-Bench: Benchmarking Large Audio-Language Models via Generative Comprehension
Recently, instruction-following audio-language models have received broad attention for human-audio interaction. However, the absence of benchmarks capable of evaluating audio-centric interaction capabilities has impeded advancements in this field. Previous models primarily focus on assessing different fundamental tasks, such as Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), and lack an assessment of the open-ended generative capabilities centered around audio. Thus, it is challenging to track the progres…
