Amazon defends facial-recognition tech sale to FBI despite moratorium
  • Not to mention the primarily black population of Louisiana who are disproportionately targeted for crimes will be the greatest number of false positives .

    Due to the common knowledge the facial recognition is severely lacking when it comes to successfully identifying black populations due to darker tones being harder to differentiate.

    This would take an existing problem and magnify it by creating a larger, more automated police state.

    Not to mention data privacy/security, which the LA DMV just got their data hacked in the last two years...

    Seriously a public safety violation all-around.

  • LSD Effective in Treating Anxiety, Phase II Clinical Trial Shows (2024)
  • Yay!

    So it's MindMed using their own analog of LSD-25 called MM-120 (lysergide d-tartrate)

    "MM-120 (lysergide d-tartrate) is a new drug developed by MindMed, a biotech company the focuses on psychedelic-based medications. This drug is a “new and improved” version of LSD that is currently undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The most recent results from phase II of testing found that the drug candidate, particularly at the 100 µg dose, “demonstrated effectiveness, significantly reducing anxiety symptoms.”"

    ... without psychotherapy, which is HUGE

    "MM-120 is the closest we’ve ever had to a clinically-proven and FDA-approved LSD-based medication. Phase II trials are currently underway, so it’s well on the path to becoming available via prescriptions in select markets, although it could still be some time before we can expect more widespread use of this drug.

  • Psilocybin, LSD And Other Psychedelics Improve Sexual Satisfaction For Months After Use, New Study Finds
  • Good to know (☞゚ヮ゚)☞

    "“It’s important to stress our work does not focus on what happens to sexual functioning while people are on psychedelics, and we are not talking about perceived ‘sexual performance,’” said Tommaso Barba, a PhD student at the Centre for Psychedelic Research and the lead author of the study, “but it does indicate there may be a lasting positive impact on sexual functioning after their psychedelic experience, which could potentially have impacts on psychological wellbeing.”"

  • NASA predicts a decade-long surge in coastal flooding in the 2030s due to the Moon's orbit
  • oh shit

    "Starting in the mid-2030s, however, the alignment of rising sea levels with a lunar cycle will cause coastal cities all around the U.S. to begin a decade of dramatic increases in flood numbers, according to the first study that takes into account all known oceanic and astronomical causes for floods.

    Led by the members of the NASA Sea Level Change Science Team from the University of Hawaii, the new study shows that high tides will exceed known flooding thresholds around the country more often. What’s more, the floods will sometimes occur in clusters lasting a month or longer, depending on the positions of the Moon, Earth, and the Sun. When the Moon and Earth line up in specific ways with each other and the Sun, the resulting gravitational pull and the ocean’s corresponding response may leave city dwellers coping with floods every day or two."

    This part is very interesting

    "In half of the Moon’s 18.6-year cycle, Earth’s regular daily tides are suppressed: High tides are lower than normal, and low tides are higher than normal. In the other half of the cycle, tides are amplified: High tides get higher, and low tides get lower. Global sea level rise pushes high tides in only one direction – higher. So half of the 18.6-year lunar cycle counteracts the effect of sea level rise on high tides, and the other half increases the effect."

    Proton Recommendations

    pr.tn Try Proton Mail Plus for free with this link

    Private and secure email, no credit card required

    Hey everyone 👋

    If you've been considering using Proton's services like ProtonVPN, ProtonMail, etc then try it out with my referral link to get a FREE month of ProtonMail Plus. :)

    https://pr.tn/ref/CZC33K0HVWGG

    Now my personal schpeel about why I like them:

    I really like their apps (no this is not some paid sponsor bs). I just genuinely like them as a company. I do pay for the Unlimited subscription but I love it and have it on annual for cheaper.

    I know there are many providers of email and VPN. But nowadays it's v important to have a company you can trust. ProtonMail has been around for a long time and has always been very coveted on the dark web for years. So you don't have to just take my word. They also have many servers out of the prying eyes of the 14 eyes Alliance. Here's some proof:
