The #Oversight Board, an outside group funded by #Meta, called on the company to extend the policy to address #altered audio as well as videos when they falsely depict people doing things.

“We agree w/the Oversight Board’s argument that our existing approach is too narrow” because it only applies to #fake speech & not altered actions, Meta VP of #Content Policy Monika Bickert said in a stmnt.

Here is a bonus piece of #CoinArt from the same post as the 1902-10 #UK Penny art piece: coinofnote.com/1902-10-uk-penn

This is a coin with a king on one side and Britannia on the other. To my best guestimate, this can only be a 1799 George III UK Half Penny. I love the way this has been done, and am very pleased that with no text, I can narrow it to a single year (That style bust of George III was only used on this coin that year). #SaturdayNightCoinShow #Coins #Altered #UnitedKingdom #History

Laureate and draped bust of King George III facing right, legend around. (Text no longer visible. Edge cut with triangle marks). Script: Latin Lettering: GEORGIUS III DEI GRATIA REX Translation: George the Third by the Grace of God King Engraver: Conrad Heinrich Küchler
Seated figure of Britannia facing left, trident in left hand, olive branch in right, shield with Union flag resting on left, legend around, date in exergue. (Text no longer visible. Edges cut with triangle marks. Script: Latin Lettering: BRITANNIA SOHO 1799 Engraver: Conrad Heinrich Küchler
Edge of 1799 1/2 penny showing triangle marks cut regularly from alternate sides of the coin.

For #NationalPigDay here is a 1953 1/2 Pingin from #Ireland. Featuring a sow standing with five piglets, this reverse design was issued from the Irish Free State of 1928 through to the last pre-decimal coins of 1967. Later 1/2 penny coins changed the design. While the coins were issued in Bronze, my 1953 coin has been silver plated. I don't know if that was ever common?

This fundamental interpretive shift is noteworthy and prompts serious #questions regarding the #RFRA's #congruity with the #Constitution.

#ConstitutionalAmendments like the #1stAmendment must not be #altered or #misconstrued through the #enactment of #ordinary #legislation like the #RFRA. Such #alterations must be viewed as #undermining the inherent #authority of the #constitution and its #amendments, potentially creating #legal #discrepancies and #loopholes. (6/8)

Prior to this act, the #legal #position since our countries founding was #unambiguous: the #government must not #promote or #favor any specific #religion, upholding a #wallofseparation between #church and #state. The #RFRA, however, has #fundamentally #altered this #interpretation, insisting that the #government must actively #foster #religious #freedoms, even if such action leads to #unequaltreatment or #discrimination which violates the dictates of the #14thAmendment.

Cortical thinning is associated with altered neurotransmission in young adults with a history of heavy drinking since adolescence

The article discusses a recent study conducted in Finland that explored the effects of #heavy #alcohol #consumption during #adolescence on #brain #development.

The study followed a group of young adults over a 10-year period, comparing those with a history of heavy drinking in adolescence to those who consumed little or no alcohol. The researchers found that the heavy-drinking group had #lower #cortical #gray #matter #thickness in several brain regions and #altered #neurotransmission compared to the control group.

Specifically, they observed increased activity in inhibitory neurotransmitters and thinner gray matter in the #frontal and #parietal lobes.

The study highlights the potential negative impact of heavy alcohol use during adolescence on brain structure and function, emphasizing the need for further research to understand the underlying mechanisms
