In an expected turn of events, the rapture did actually happen, and not one single person made the cut.

Making particle accelerators sustainable has field-specific challenges. @hmwakeling.bsky.social, Philip Burrows, Jim Clarke, Jo Colwell, Ben Shepherd & John Thomason share how they collected relevant guidance and call on researchers in other fields to do the same ⚛️ www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Do you work with accelerators? Did you hear about our living guidelines for environmental sustainability? We are now working on version 2 and requesting feedback! #Physics #AcademicSky #EnvironmentalSustainability #FutureAccelerators #ParticlePhysics #ParticleAccelerator

The need to silence your critics only reveals how weak and fragile you are.

ORLCA: A concept for an open-source Life Cycle Assessment repository built for research https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.08901

Running up that hill by Kate Bush hits so hard

Just watched @kurzgesagt.org's A.I. video and can't help but feel that not only would A.I. eventually be limited, A.I. will be hugely limit*ing* youtu.be/fa8k8IQ1_X0?...

Today's episode of Foundation took me for a RIDE

Happy to share our concept for an Open Research Life Cycle Assessment (ORLCA) repository. We're working now to get this project going! If you're interested in finding out more and/or collaborating, email orlca [at] hecap [dot] eco arxiv.org/abs/2509.08901 #AcademicSky #GreenSky #LCA 🧪🔭⚛️

Absolute DOWNPOUR in Oxford right now. I love it when it's this heavy! (when I know I have a warm place to dry) The trees will be happier too!

I know this sounds crazy, but shouldn’t the Secretary of Energy know something about energy?

Wow. Check this out. Politicians actually trying to solve problems can achieve a lot! www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu...

Flags bearing the St. George's Cross placed in roadside locations around Oxford have been amended overnight. Two flags at Headington were amended to say 'Love Immigrants'. A national flag flying campaign 'Operation Raise the Colours' has provoked controversy👇 socialistworker.co.uk/anti-racism/...

My film HACKING AT LEAVES is now free to watch on the wonderful Internet Archive (@archive.org), hi-res download included. After too many talks with risk-averse distributors, I chose the open route -- free for all, everywhere: www.monochrom.at/hacking-at-l...

Apple TV just told me their pricing will go up. No explanation, no sorry, just we're gonna charge you more. Uhhh buhbye!

My parents treated me to "Good Night, Oscar" tonight at the Barbican and holy moly what a heart tugging romp! Astounding acting, set design, piano, and performance all round. 11/10. I'll be thinking about this one for years.

Lovely interaction with a woman at the bus stop today. How manners are important, it isn't hard to be nice, cats are often better than humans - harmless enough, right? Nope. With a glint in her eye she joked how she - I kid you not - likes to go home and stroke her pussy. Hilarious but WHAT

Public transit phone calls on speakerphone: yes you suck.

"Disclaimer" with Cate Blanchett had me on the edge of my darned seat. Highly recommend!

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

Can highly recommend tutoring a summer intern. I hadn't touched batch job submission in a WHILE, but I've still got it!

Best of luck today GCSE-ers. Remember exam results don't define you. You are awesome. Plus, my worst GCSE science grade was physics and look at me now!

A seemingly unpopular opinion: A Woman Under the Influence is over-hyped and underwhelming for all of its accolades. Sure, it's a raw telling of blue collar life and mental health, and perhaps revolutionary/visionary for its time, but the scenes of seemingly endless dialogue bored me to death.

First time visiting Edinburgh Fringe this year and I can't. stop. thinking. about. it.

I found myself at Edinburgh Fringe this weekend (what a place!), and I've been inspired to get back in to social media in a better way. Watch me post more for, like, a whole 7 seconds. I shall be sticking to non-Twitter and non-Meta platforms. Thanking you.

Today after a visit, I received a text from my brother, likely conveying the words from my conservationist father who was driving. Brother: "Sister" Me: "Brother" B: "At the end of your road there is a green space to the left with a bench" Me: "Yes." #GreenSky 1/3

Josie Long's "Now is the time of Monsters" show is absolutely bloody brilliant. If you need a little bit of renewed hope, and a good laugh with a bright, powerful, leftist comedian, get your arse in gear because tickets were almost as extinct as the megatherium.

Hurricane Erin is perfect reason why the National Weather Service and NOAA need to be fully funded and staffed. The National Hurricane Center has done an amazing job getting the word out with warnings, Watches, forecasts and discussions. NO EXCEPTIONS. NONE.
