'Shock jock' Rosenberg says he apologized to Mayor Mamdani for calling him a 'cockroach'

A City Hall spokesperson said Rosenberg did not contact the mayor directly. “Time will tell how sincere of an apology it is,” Mamdani said on Wednesday.

Yeah, though I have a guess what time will reveal.

Rosenberg has a history of incendiary remarks. He referred to tennis legend Venus Williams as an “animal” and once referred to the U.S. Women’s Olympic soccer team as “juiced-up dykes.” He also mocked singer Kylie Minogue’s breast cancer diagnosis.

Time didn't stop him from making this new remark. And, hey, when reading that archived article linked in the original post:

He has also called female soccer players "juiced-up dykes," claimed "faggots play tennis," and said Palestinians were "stinking animals."

Hm! Yeah, going to need a lot of time to believe that he means it.

She helped design Australia’s aged care assessment tool – but now Lynda Henderson is too scared to use it

Jump

celeste @kbin.earth 2d ago

Well, if the assessment tool she made was created with the explicit intention that there would be room for notes and it could be overridden if necessary, and those aspects were removed to save cash by denying necessary care to the elderly, it's not really the tool she made anymore. If I make a hammer, give it to someone, and they take off the head, I don't need to feel responsible for it not working anymore.

Should she have expected this of the government? Maybe? But the responsibility has to primarily lay with the people who are using parts of her tool to abuse and neglect the elderly.

I changed it! Does that work better? It worked fine on my end, so I can't tell. I think I know where I went wrong this time.

Do werewolves shed? Or do they lose their whole coat when transferring back? Do Vampires have little holes in their K9s to suck up the blood after puncturing someone or thing?

Jump

celeste @kbin.earth 6d ago

I've seen some stories where vampires suck blood through their teeth, back when I read more vampire fiction, but I don't know how common those are. I think it seems a bit comedic, so it probably depended on how funny the story was supposed to be.

Recommend and discover lesser known indie games

Jump

celeste @kbin.earth 7d ago

Do you have a metric of what would count as an obscure indie game? Like, number of reviews or something? Or is the rule just to avoid the big ones like Stardew Valley?

I've played Tchia, Coral Island, and My Time at Sandrock recently, and they feel like middle of the road as far as indies go. MTaS and Coral Island both had successful kickstarters. Would they count?

Sorry, this kind of thing is difficult for me to judge.

US man issues challenge to disprove his claim of having world’s smallest penis to raise micropenis awareness

celeste @kbin.earth 7d ago

I read a blog post years ago by a trans dude about how seeing how little the winner of a smallest penis contest gave a shit helped him not give a shit about his own dick situation.

so, i guess it's nice for insecure people to see stuff like this?

Is creatine safe?

Jump

celeste @kbin.earth 1w ago

Reading around, it seems like if you keep it within recommended dosages and have no existing kidney problems, it's all good. The main thing is to make sure whatever supplement you're actually taking is reporting the amount of creatine correctly.

Supplements aren't regulated well.

No evidence behind RFK Jr’s claim keto diet can cure schizophrenia, experts say

Jump

celeste @kbin.earth 1w ago

I do think it'd be interesting to do a real study on it. Keto can reduce seizures, and after study it might turn out the same mechanism of action that helps there helps with schizophrenia symptoms. I hope there's a more extensive study being planned out there.

It's a treatment for people who don't respond to medicine.

https://www.epilepsy.com/treatment/dietary-therapies/ketogenic-diet

It's pretty interesting! I listened to a medical history podcast about keto years ago.

https://maximumfun.org/transcripts/sawbones/transcript-sawbones-ketogenic-diet Apparently the diet started as a treatment for epilepsy. Way back in history people noticed that if you were inclined to have seizures and were starving, you had fewer seizures. In the early 1900s there were experiments to figure out how to reduce seizures without, you know, starving them to death. keto!

I wouldn't be shocked if keto had some kind of effect on the brain that helps with schizophrenia, but there's no real info yet.

celeste @kbin.earth 1w ago

The evidence that ketogenic diet might help with schizophrenia symptom remission comes from two case reports that Palmer published in Schizophrenia Research in 2019. When discussing them, Palmer was quick to emphasise that “yes, it’s only two”, and that “case reports don’t prove anything. They’re not controlled. They come with tremendous amounts of bias.” But, Palmer noted, that can be important for generating hypotheses about what treatments might work. Palmer thought it was valuable to publish these case reports because remission of schizophrenia symptoms is incredibly rare.

Two case studies! The scientist quoted knows that it means nothing! Don't read one article that might show something that confirms your bias and go "this is real."

Is it possible that none of this is real?

Jump

celeste @kbin.earth 2w ago

I'd assume drugs if I saw a guy staring at a vending machine for ages. That's "took too much of something that doesn't leave the system fast" behavior. Possibly he wanted to get something from the vending machine, but couldn't hold on to the thought for long enough to go through the process. Perception of time gets fucked on those sorts of drugs, so he has no idea he's been there for however long. The behavior sounds specifically like that of people I've known who accidently took a higher dose of edibles than intended.

The world is real but we perceive it with a brain that can read signals of it imperfectly if something goes wrong in there. That leads to strange behaviors like you described.

Well, abusers also groom witnesses (like: "see? you were around me and i didn't abuse you or your kids. those accusers must be lying, right? you're such a good judge of character!") but I really really doubt that's the case with this specific dude.
