A magnificent set of choices led to this. What a time to be alive www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s not actually thinking. Please, stop this.

News keeps talking about Brewdog's Equity For Punks as if it was an actual company shares system and not just rudimentary crowdfunding where people paid £250 and all they were ever guaranteed in return was a discount on beer.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

For those who care about such things, this 8th birthday DIPA from Polly’s is absolutely lush.

The bereavement thing is…difficult.

Death has the great truth of being entirely certain — everyone will die! people die all the time! it’s a normal part of life!

I used to live in Seattle. Hard approve for their public health valentine’s messaging: “My love for you can't be explained by science. Just like the new federal vaccine guidelines.” #IDSky #Valentines

Happy Birthday, THELMA RITTER 🎂 Six Oscar nominations. She should have won all of them! Here she is in the performance she deserved a seventh for: REAR WINDOW. Alfred Hitchcock adored her. Who didn’t? My Ritter #MovieReview Playlist 👉 youtube.com/playlist?lis... #MovieSky

The Women’s Institute was pressured to exclude trans women by the threat of litigation brought and paid for by JKR’s legal fund. So now the newly trans-hostile WI groups are haemorrhaging members and many groups are folding, closing opportunities for all women. Well done JK and the GCs, eh?

Ok but detained for what crime exactly?

Absolutely legal to stick a screwdriver in his tyres.

You don't have to drive an offensive SUV to be an arrogant prick. But. It sure helps. To make this worse, there was about 10 feet free behind this car. But they wanted to be as close as possible to the bottle bank. Because fuck you.

It is unclear what a putative terrorist could do that is not already achieved by sitting back and watching things unfold

Huh, would you look at that. *stares directly at the camera lens*

over a year ago, i gave a talk at the xoxo conference about a mural, a mcdonald’s, and a man. (but it was also secretly about life, and legacy, and meaning.) finally, i’m blogging the full story, with behind-the-scenes details, and a video of the talk. enjoy. cabel.com/wes-cook-and...

Conclusion on ground 2 - the decision to seek proscription was contrary to the Human Rights Act 1998 because it amounted to an unjustified interference with the rights protected by the European Convention on Human Rights.

Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court! A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest. A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

Vilken finansiär var det och hur får man kontakt med dem 🥲

Problematic Jim Henson serves up nothing more than sickening violence with ‘newly discovered’* Wilkins Coffee advertisement

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

New video! I went on a tour of the @cmsexperiment.bsky.social at @cern.bsky.social with Prof. @freyablekman.bsky.social ⏬ youtu.be/dumEjuLWo3Q

If you want people to be 'reasonable' about a subject, I highly recommend not stealing from them, attempting to coerce them into using a mutilated mockery of their own stolen goods and then sniggering that this will ruin their livelihood.

Delighted to see that the Climate Emergency declared by Cherwell Council in 2019 is presumably now over, so no need for woke green nonsense like this... 🫠

Absolutely love the title of this Ada Lovelace Inst report into use of AI transcription in social work www.adalovelaceinstitute.org/report/scrib... and am frankly a bit jealous it didn't occur to me

So apparently white Americans in Minneapolis are putting Mexican flags on their cars so ICE agents waste time pulling them over. They call it ICE fishing. 🤣😂

"Dooring" is a hazard that cyclists face all the time, normally when passing parked cars. The "Dutch reach" is a way of opening a car door that forces you to look behind - you reach with your non-door hand, turning your shoulders. You should *never* open a car door without checking behind you.

Additional advisory, if you are a UK or Irish citizen but also a citizen of another country, you must use a UK paper to travel to the UK.

"Yes, when Mandelson was a minister in Brown’s government, he betrayed the national interest. But this is what, by other means, he was appointed to do. His treachery, while it went way beyond his official mandate, was not a bug, but a feature. The corrosion of democratic values was institutional."

The book is the result of “work for hire by the US government,” which means it is not eligible for copyright and can be freely distributed. There are many sites that host pdf scans of the book if you’d like a copy of your own to keep on hand. (6/n) personal.math.ubc.ca/~cbm/aands/

Milton Abramowitz, Stegun’s co-editor on the project, died of a heart attack in 1958. That was after the book was underway but well before it was finished. Stegun took over and saw the project through to its publication in 1964. "Stegun and Abramowitz" is probably a more appropriate name. (3/n)

Did you know that a famous math reference – most physicists have owned a copy at some point – is the result of a New Deal project to employ scientists and mathematicians? Thread incoming.

Eva Besnyö, 1936.

Just found this photo of my dog during lockdown

4. Your final point of "just promote in person alternatives" is both incredibly condescending and ignores real world situations for many. Also, I know of no one saying "kids should only spend time online, not in person" so it's also a total non sequitur to this conversation.

Important 🧵

Rep. LaMonica McIver, for New Jersey’s 10th. Yielded back just after saying, “and that’s why I support abolishing ICE.”

If someone has held a job with real government influence or power and used that time to do evil while repeatedly lying to the public, you don't actually have to listen to their punditry when they're eventually out of power. You just don't have to do it!

It is so fundamentally obscene and offensive that any data centre developer feels brave enough to tout "jobs created" as selling point when the core selling point of the product they offer is to explicitly cut as many jobs as possible www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Another data point in why Starmer is so amazingly unpopular.

The UK's continues to approve new oil and gas exploration on nature reserves, where pollution is already at alarming levels.

me when i shit myself in public but the next day i successfully do it all in the toilet

Labour making a £6billion policy announcement and it’s hardly getting any coverage I know it’s quite niche, but this change will ensure the survival of numerous councils of all political persuasions Not many people will see it & even fewer will care, despite the scale of the financial commitment

h... how much poison is supposed to be in baby food?

Something compelled me to make this
