Gen Z might just be talking smack about you behind your back — or right to your face. But you'd be none the wiser, as the slang-savvy generation has adapted lingo only found in video games into their ever-expanding lexicon. In a TikTok video with 1.5 million views, Harvard-educated linguistics expert Adam Aleksic likened the rise of gaming terms to that of commonly used sports metaphors. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, Two NYPD officers involved in the fatal shooting of Kawaski Trawick inside his Bronx apartment five years ago will not face internal discipline in a announcement by NYPD commissioner Edward Caban. Robert MacNeil, who created the even-handed, no-frills PBS newscast “The MacNeil-Lehrer NewsHour” in the 1970s and co-anchored the show with his late partner, Jim Lehrer, for two decades, died on Friday. He was 93. And in Washington, Saturday's attacks on Israel created new questions about replenishing aid to war-torn Ukraine after months of tumultuous Republican infighting.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Today is World Malaria Day (April 25), published by tobytrem on April 25, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Malaria is massive. Our World in Data writes: "Over half a million people died from the disease each year in the 2010s. Most were children, and the disease is one of the leading causes of child mortality." Or, as Rob Mather, CEO of the Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) phrases it: the equivalent of seven jumbo jets full of children die of Malaria each day. But I don't see malaria in the news that much. This is partly because it was eradicated from Western countries over the course of the 20th century, both because of intentional interventions such as insecticide, and because of the draining of swamp lands and building of better housing. But it's also because malaria is a slow catastrophe, like poverty, and climate change. We've dealt with it to varying degrees throughout history, and though it is an emergency to anyone affected by it, to the rest of us, it's a tropical disease which has been around forever. It can be hard to generate urgency when a problem has existed for so long. But there is a lot that we can do. Highly effective charities work on malaria; the Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) distributes insecticide treated bed-nets, and a Malaria Consortium program offers seasonal malaria chemoprevention treatment- both are GiveWell Top Charities. Two malaria vaccines, RTS,S and the cheaper R21[1], have been developed in recent years[2]. Malaria is preventable. Though malaria control and eradication is funded by international bodies such as The Global Fund, there isn't nearly enough money being spent on it. AMF has an immediate funding gap of $185.78m. That's money for nets they know are needed. And though vaccines are being rolled out, progress has been slower than it could be, and the agencies distributing them have been criticised for lacking urgency. Malaria is important, malaria is neglected, malaria is tractable. If you want to do something about malaria today, consider donating to Givewell's recommendations: AMF, or the Malaria Consortium: Related links I recommend Why we didn't get a malaria vaccine sooner; an article in Works in Progress. WHO's World Malaria Day 2024 announcement. The Our World in Data page on malaria. Audio AMA, with Rob Mather, CEO of AMF (transcript). From SoGive, an EA Forum discussion of the cost-effectiveness of malaria vaccines, with cameos from 1DaySooner and GiveWell. For more info, see GiveWell's page on malaria vaccines. The story of Tu Youyou, a researcher who helped develop an anti-malarial drug in Mao's China. What is an Emergency? The Case for Rapid Malaria Vaccination, from Marginal Revolution. More content on the Forum's Malaria tag. ^ R21 offers up to 75% reduction of symptomatic malaria cases when delivered at the right schedule. ^ Supported by Open Philanthropy and GiveWell.

This heartbreaking reality confronts the families of over 200,000 Australians battling Parkinson's disease. In Australia, someone is diagnosed with Parkinson's every 27 minutes. These aren't just numbers - they're stolen futures. This isn't a mysterious affliction, it's a mass poisoning, and the culprits line the aisles of every supermarket.” This is a terrifying and enlightening conversation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Summary In this conversation, Tim and April discuss negative reviews Tim has received for his podcast and delve into the topic of prophecy. They also analyze a controversial statement made by pastor Josh Howerton about women's roles on their wedding night. The conversation highlights the unrealistic expectations and harmful stereotypes perpetuated by purity culture and the need for open and honest discussions about sex and relationships. In this conversation, Tim and April discuss the harmful rhetoric and misinformation spread by Christian nationalists. They also delve into the controversy surrounding President Joe Biden's recognition of the Trans Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday, which sparked outrage among Christian nationalists. The conversation exposes the hypocrisy and disingenuousness of these individuals, who claim to be defending Christianity while promoting hate and discrimination. The hosts emphasize the need for critical thinking and a more compassionate approach to faith. Takeaways The statement made by pastor Josh Howerton about women's roles on their wedding night perpetuates harmful stereotypes and unrealistic expectations. Purity culture can create unrealistic expectations and hinder healthy discussions about sex and relationships. Open and honest conversations about sex and relationships are necessary to challenge harmful beliefs and promote healthy attitudes. Harmful rhetoric and misinformation perpetuated by Christian nationalists can have damaging effects on individuals and communities. The controversy surrounding President Joe Biden's recognition of the Trans Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday highlights the intolerance and discrimination of Christian nationalists. Christian nationalists often prioritize their own interests and beliefs over the well-being and rights of marginalized groups. A more compassionate and critical approach to faith is needed to counteract the harmful influence of Christian nationalism.

[08:35] April Fools' Day – April 1st, is an extension of a centuries-old tradition to entertain and trick, – or is it? In today's episode we unravel this annual enigma that today we call April Fools' Day. This is the audio from the article to be published at Troy Media & Gadgetgreg.Com. The Text, while not exactly a transcript is below: Here's the Article: In the modern era, we find ourselves ever vigilant on April 1st, wary of pranks, hoaxes, and fake news. Yet, these antics have roots that delve deep into the past, to a time when court jesters were commonplace and laughter was the order of the day. Long before the advent of television, movies, or the Internet, jesters, jokers, and fools roamed the land, captivating audiences with their quick wit and comedic talents. Originating in the Medieval and Renaissance periods, these entertainers often began their careers as nomads – performers, traveling from town to town, accompanied by minstrels, and regaling crowds at fairs and markets with their humorous tales. However, it was those jesters who found favor in the courts of monarchs and noblemen who truly rose to prominence. These quick-witted individuals became valued members of the household staff, their jests serving as a welcome reprieve from the rigors of royal life. But competition was fierce, the court jester being the career pinnacle for a talented few. Successful candidates could rise above the simple nomadic existence, entertaining peasants living in poverty surrounded by disease and filth. Their new life would be to entertain a captive audience, and enjoy stability, shelter and more to eat in one meal than others had in a week. No doubt, everyone wanted the top job, but the supply of fools always exceeded the demand. There were no employment agencies and Monster.com was still almost 5 centuries away. To get the attention of potential employers, jesters would take any opportunity to perform in front of the wealthy – not unlike what the paparazzi do to celebrities today. Except you can't behead a paparazzo, as King Henry VIII did to one fool on New Year's Eve 1544 outside the Palace of Whitehall in London. In fact, in that era, beheadings were as common as weddings and banquets. Despite being warned, this fool pushed the monarch too far. That night, as Henry's temper flared, even the king's personal jester, Will Sommers, couldn't amuse the angry monarch. According to Sommers' diary and stories passed down over the centuries, the ongoing commotion and Henry's drunken rants marred the evening, with the king threatening to cast away the ships of fools and behead each and every one of the jesters. Sommers had been serving the king for years and had become his friend, confidante and earning his trust. Legend has it that when asked why, in all that time he didn't fear the king's wrath, Sommers replied, “Why should I fear a man who couldn't keep a wife?” At the risk of his job, and perhaps his life, he tried to convince the king that serial execution of fools wasn't in his majesty's best interest. Perhaps Sommers made the appeal for selfish reasons, coming from a family of fools. He attempted to convince the king that he needed to laugh, that all people need to laugh in tough times. Henry had just buried yet another wife, Catherine of Aragon, so his temperament was certainly suspect. Failing to make an impression, Sommers eloquently reminded the king of their first meeting and how he had made a life-changing impression on his majesty. His words struck a chord with Henry, eliciting a rare smile from the monarch. With the Kings fiery temper subsiding, for now, Sommers confessed he had concerns about his own longevity. Sensing an opportunity to diffuse the tension, instead of waiting for his demise – natural cause or otherwise, Sommers proposed a novel solution—a grand audition, if the king so wished. This could uncover fresh talent for the court, sparing his fellow jesters from further retribution, i.e., the ultimate job dismissal. Henry, intrigued by the idea, granted Sommers full authority to organize the auditions, scheduling them promptly upon his return from Versailles on April 1st. The auditions proved a resounding success, with laughter echoing through the halls of the palace like never before. Henry was so delighted by the spectacle and thrilled by the outcome of finding a suitable successor for Sommers, he declared April 1, as the “annual Night of Fools,” as a testament to the enduring legacy of jesters in his court. The King would only enjoy a few of these events since he died in 1547, just three years later. Sommers outlived his master, carrying on Henry's tradition, honoring his legacy, and entertaining Queen Elizabeth I until his passing in 1560 – of natural causes. In the years that followed, the tradition progressed, taking on new significance and acquiring yet a new name. In 1582, the Day of Fools was officially christened April Fools' Day, aligning with the introduction of the Gregorian calendar by Pope Gregory XIII. This change, while seemingly minor, served to solidify the holiday's place in the calendar and cement its enduring legacy. April Fools' Day continues to evolve, adapting to the changing times and embracing new forms of humor and mischief. Today, people across the globe eagerly anticipate the arrival of April 1st, eager to partake in the age-old tradition of pranks and practical. So, today as we celebrate April Fools' Day, let us pause to reflect on the origins of this beloved tradition and the jesters who helped shape it. And if you find yourself on the receiving end of a prank, - like this one, remember to laugh along—it's all part of the fun! April Fool! This is an updated version of the podcast originally released as episode 80.
