The new Stanford list is out and I’m apparently in the top 0.3% of scientists worldwide. Really hoping that someday, somehow, I can parlay this into a permanent job.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Listening to Australians trying to pronounce “chilaquiles” and it’s not going well

Okay so I have driven to Melbourne like three or four times now (about a 3.5 hour drive) because I didn't know that there was a train from Wodonga that's only $11 each way. I see many more Melbourne trips in my future now that I know.

The biggest public embarrassment for a Cuomo since "Beverly Hills" was released as a single.

I learned about this Messenger feature by accident yesterday, just in time for the application it was clearly designed for

Woke up this morning eager to see the mayoral results in NYC only to realize it's only 3 PM on Tuesday there. Get with it y'all, that's just embarrassing. I trust Mamdani will fix this.

I’m coining the phrase “the centrist two-step.” Step 1 is declaring that the left needs to focus on kitchen table issues instead of social issues to win back voters and step 2 is insisting that all left-wing approaches to kitchen table issues are impossible to deliver on.

Swooping season is supposedly over, but yesterday I learned that some magpies will make an exception for you if you maintain eye contact for too long while cycling.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

If you haven’t been listening to this season you should be. In ep 1 they called it “hours of messy bitchiness occasionally interrupted by dialectical materialism” and that is right on the money.

Playing BG3 multiplayer with friends last night and @scottinawa.bsky.social screencapped an absolutely fantastic rendering error.

This is a few weeks old but I just saw it. Just a fantastic articulation of what's wrong with Klein's worldview. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

"You can't defeat bad ideas by adopting them. You can't grow a coalition by selling out its members. And you can't persuade people who disagree with you that you can be trusted to fight for them when you won't even fight for those you say are with you." www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

Ah good, the democrats are already working on a solid game plan for sucking even worse; let the right control the entire conversation and then take the results of their own spinelessness and failed messaging as a mandate from heaven to appease even harder. deciding-to-win.org

Heck yeah. All it really takes for this stuff to stop working is for enough good people to say no.

I had it do exactly this when I was trying to dredge some data from FAO pdfs. It'd give me the first few results and then tell me it'd have the rest of them shortly. It took me a while to realize that it was just flat-out lying to me.

I dunno man, I have a PhD and publish a lot of scientific papers and I play video games constantly. Sounds like a skill issue.

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

New favorite example of nominative determinism

Where can I buy this, chat?

This is terrible but I’m mostly mad that they’re listing biology separate from science

Every sane person agrees Betty Gilpin is only a fraction as famous as she deserves to be, but apparently she is a pretty damn good writer too. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

Surest sign that spring is here is that I no longer have to grit my teeth and brace myself to use the (unheated) bidet.

Hey, maybe people suck less than I think. Slightly.

Thanks to guidance from the Trump administration, Microsoft Word now flags any use of the word "evolution" as ideologically flawed.
