This is now what 75% of the U.S. economy is based on.

Wednesday marks 10 years to the day since Cameron resigned to let Brexit usher in a new era of stable self governance. Since then we've burned through: 5 more prime ministers 8 chancellors 8 home secretaries 9 foreign secretaries 10 education secretaries 10 defence secretaries Masterful work.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

nerd sniping folks by either saying "yeah it should only take like an hour to implement that" or "yeah this is not possible at all. there is no way this can be done"

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

The more I watch the news, the harder I find it to defend the democratic right of idiots to elect idiots. Also, my Dragons’ Den/Shark Tank pitch is for investors in my digital ration-book business.

🌈 Happy Rainbow-washing Month to all HR and Marketing departments who celebrate. Only a couple more weeks until you can revert to whatever your actual working practices are.

It turns out e-ink displays don't have to refresh slowly... This engineer made a controller to allow one to refresh at 60fps. It's quite remarkable.

Students' data taken in major University of Nottingham cyber-attack

I think he may mean venomous, as in injecting a toxin. Poisonous means the toxin is harmful if licked, eaten, or inhaled and I can personally attest women who color their hair are delicious

I’m on my own this week; wife’s away for work, son 1 on holiday, son 2 at uni. My only task was to look after son 2’s Guinea Pigs…found one dead in the cage this morning! He’d shown no sign of any issues yesterday, and was ok at 1am.

If the Nobel committee won’t give Trump the Peace Prize for ending the most number of wars… maybe they’ll give it to him for ending one war the most number of times.

Currently competing in the “Can you find your way at home from the wrong side of London before the trains stop running” challenge. Alcohol is is a factor here.

She promptly escaped to the Los Angeles underground where she survives as a soldier of fortune…

Not that ‘responsible’ disclosure shit again 🙄 No vendor uses that term unless they want to call someone irresponsible. Even if someone drops 0day, patch & move on. Going after a researcher is a great way to turn 1 bad relationship into many terrible relationships.

Wall-E origin story looks terrific.

The UK government should do something about malevolent foreign interference in British democracy. Urgently.

Short but fun story about laser safety and not thinking about the consequences by @funranium.bsky.social

Talking to son, who’s a vet student, about lambing: Me: “How many survive? Son: “Lambs or students?”

Well that certainly beat a day of working; Buckingham Palace garden party for son’s gold Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Despite the image below, personally I’m hoping there are no more teddy bears or AI slop 🫣

Do you ever think about the fact that the designers of General Midi were tasked with coming up with the 128 most important instruments in the world, and one of the answers they came up with was "Goblins"

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

It's all too easy to jump on the bandwagon, but I would also happily accept five million quid and never go to Clacton.

@rufushound.com Looks like it worked!

Whoa, Instructure (who owns Canvas) says they came to an agreement with the cyber criminals (typically this means a ransom was paid) in exchange for the stolen data being deleted instead of leaked and criminals ceasing all extortion requests from customers. Huge development.

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

Zelensky has issued a presidential decree “allowing” Russia to hold its annual Victory Day parade in Moscow. The decree provides exact coordinates of the Red Square that shall be excluded from the list of Ukrainian strike targets. Phenomenal power play.

I made the mistake of looking at the news today. Anyway, happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough! He has lived long enough to see the rise and fall, and rise of the Nazis.
