Not too much hope for Burnham, but at least he's started off with one good thing

Found out you can set css properties on an elements style tag and it feels like I've gained a superpower

Students need to remember that Inigo Montoya method for emails and greetings: "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” Polite Greeting Name Relevant Personal Link Manage Expectations Keep it BRIEF.

my favorite part is that this scene is very important in the 2000s-era Star Trek vs. Star Wars debates. There are entire articles about this scene, and it's solely arguing about the rules of the debate and not believing that there can be any non-linear elements in a star wars movie

"DEI"

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

Every none brit: you see the problem is they need to leave the windows closed during the day to not let the hot air in Me: what do you mean *in*

The kings new nail

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

So the EHRC guidance has been updated from "Fuck trans people's rights" to "I'm terribly sorry but fuck trans people's rights", and it remains glaringly obvious that the government's response to the Supreme Court judgement should have been to fix the law rather than cower in fear of bigots.

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

Be careful biting strangers, you dont know where they've been

Other documents from the same court case transforms "Robin a Negro" into "Robina Black." The handwriting is perfectly clear, but the AI is programmed to replace what it says with something it doesn't say.

How can you be so bad at criticising Starmer that I even start to side with him. Me, siding with Starmer!? The the guy doesn't even have a side, just a nebulous void of opinions

Flock: we've very sorry for creeping on your children for a sales demo, going forward we promise not to do this and creep on other town instead 🙏

Ok, so here's the real headlines from the newly-published BMA critique of Cass: 1) the evidence being weak means it does not clearly support treatment withdrawal either; 2) the policy decisions by NHS and government went beyond what Cass recommended;

notably his cure is from CAR-T therapy, which is so new I didn’t even learn about it in med school THIS is why we invest in science

I feel like we’re willing to make Pluto a planet again, at least provisionally, if they’re willing to fund astrophysics. I’d say $100 billion/year is reasonable But if you keep cutting our budgets, I swear we’ll keep eliminating them. Hope you like a three planet solar system!

"Anglo-saxo heritage" is a dog whistle everyone needs to learn

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it. It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

So Pluto was redefined as a minor planet in 2006, 20 years ago. 10 years before this girl was born. She's got some real salty parents

“Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.” This is why we should fund science. 🧪

she said - and the whole room really seemed to feel this one right in the chest - that Democrat politicians are historically much more concerned with trying not to lose than they are with trying to win, which is the reason for the lack of courage we all feel so acutely and she did explicitly name

So many replies/quotes are "thats cos traffic makes me drive slow" which essentially advocating for more road deaths

A little more more forgivable when you look at the tie breaker rules tho: "The tied teams shall be ranked in the standings according to the lowest quotient of fewest runs allowed divided by the number of defensive outs recorded in the games in that round between the teams tied"

Posting on bluesky about the wonders of WAP

i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript) you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS lyra.horse/x86css/

@worldbollardassoc.bsky.social have you seen this story of the brave Councillor Maurice Perry vs the evil Charles Wood

Full scorched earth bans! If you run an org not condemning these people as well you are also banned

please do not talk to me about anything else, this is all I want to be talking about for the next 12 hours

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So: In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

I like to think every person out there is a wierd nerd with a niche hobby/skill waiting for their time to be useful in the revolution

But look how many parking lots you can look at it from!

I remember when I used the pure gym I the uk they gave you an 8 digit code to get in. That was also your password for their website with my paymemt details. That I could not change

The utterly shameless & widely covered "report" out today, claiming net zero will "cost" £9tn is based on: * Assuming free fossil-fuel energy, free petrol cars, free gas boilers, free gas power plants etc AND * Including climate damages in the "cost" of net zero I kid you not, it is that stupid

They may be bots parroting made up comments, but because they're reform ones we need to give them more credence than a party with 72 sitting MPs

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

This ry dude has never had to talk to a paying customer

Nothing brings the family together like grandads tv breaking

Gift idea lists for wife, for mother, for sister, for daughter, for aunt, for grandmother, for girlfriend, for ex-girlfriend, for ex-girlfriend you want to get back with, for cutie who just smiled at you And finally, gifts for him. Which him? *waves vaguely* all of them

Why do the aliens speak in ASMR?

No one’s rich like Gaston That’s the pitch for “Gaston” No one’s complex and tragic yet kitsch like Gaston He’s a circle that begs to be squared It’s a tentpole, a four-quadrant hit Yes his backstory’s moving and layered And it’s starring a CGI de-aged Brad Pitt

"Modernising human rights" is a new euphemism

after watching the most powerful tools of the last 20 years go from "extremely useful, just ad supported" to "deliberately worse to sell more ads" you absolutely cannot convince me that LLMs will not become intimate, deeply convincing and subtle advertising/influencing mechanisms

Got round to playing Clair Obscur and it's varying between best game of year and THE most fustrating thing

Everyone saw the frosted tips of the 90s and noped the fuck out
