This is why I enjoy the type of editing I do. Because my job, essentially, is to find all the places in an article where the analyst didn't have the time or the skills to do this, and help them I'm also on a time limit, because my work isn't books, but it is the best part of the job by far

Question for the people who Mastodon: when people do that automated cross posting thing from there, does every post come through individually or can you create a thread there and have it post here? I'm just curious because the one user I follow who I thought was posting on M posts like it's IRC

UPDATE: I absolutely did trigger my fire marshals to go through the code and grumble about it continually playing catch up. That part of the point of building the datacenters where they are isn't just cheap land and resource they can exploit, but older code with poor enforcement.

Very amused to see that the NHS provides a very broad brush description of who gets the COVID jab this season, and says to ask your GP And then every GP has a post saying, essentially, we've received a LOT of calls about vaccine eligibility. Here is much more detailed info, please stop calling

Here's a handy video on how millionaires like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are EXACTLY the kind of person the farm bailouts are for. pls pardon the clickbait thumbnail, it does have real math in it youtu.be/3kEr0jb6zhU

A Brief History of Men are Becoming Less Manly 🧵

So many Reddit posts that include "my husband and I both work full time, but when I get home I have to do all the housework too and my husband won't help because he says he's tired and deserves to relax" And here is that same attitude, described as a new problem in 1967

google wants to introduce errors into my spreadsheets and attribute them to me

I finally got around to the final episode of the latest sewing bee, and then this pops up on my following feed

I took a few CDs I had bought on the band's retirement tour with me to my father in law's, because I remembered at the last moment that their internet is shit but they have a CD player The look I got from the 16 year old when she realised how I was playing music was priceless

I'm so glad to find this in the quote posts, even if the original thread is lovely Because it might be of interest, cross pollinating to the only rehabilitator I follow @foxfeather.bsky.social

People are also so used to huge powerful big tech corps that they cannot fathom different sized ones, or "power scale" them accurately. I made these charts about funding received some time ago and the proportions surprised even me.

Bah, picked up a daylight light at Lidl the other day (craft week). It is completely unfit for purpose. In theory, the end of the pole has a thread on it, and there's a nut on the other side of the stand. Except that the pole can't go through the stand, so the two threads never meet

I'm in the wrong line of work

Yesterday I looked up how the UK police are supposed to handle guns. It is so jarring watching US police after that And the thing is, the UK police can also be unnecessarily intimidating and use way too much force. ACAB doesn't change But every US cop would be on a PIP, at best, here

I'm gonna get my Kellis-Amberlee after all!

Blustery day, isn't it? Here's the National Grid: Live generation data. Wind and solar are generating 74.2% of our electricity. Gas is generating 13.1%. And yet our household electricity prices are pegged to... the volatile price of gas. Which is the basis on which the right attacks... renewables.

The Hampstead ponds have REPEATEDLY voted to include trans women. But the officious pricks at Sex Matters don’t care what other women think and are forcing a public consultation anyway. Throw the ponds some support.

UK cis women, please sign this to acknowledge that trans people are not a threat. (Unless you think they are, in which case you're awful so please fuck off and never come back.) Everybody else, please circulate. 💜

Occasionally you get a gem from the bot that tracks edits to the NYT

It looks like there's a reason TKMaxx is so full of too cutsy for trad goth Halloween stuff Apparently some US corporations are pushing for "boo baskets" at Halloween, a made-up tradition involving tat, with the cringe factor of a £5 workplace secret Santa (Source has blocked quote posts)

To add to this: Sadiq Khan took a big political risk by doing this, and it appears to have paid off - or rather, the policy has worked as intended. London Labour will be (quite reasonably) hoping voters notice...

This seems…backwards? “OpenAI is planning to release a new version of its Sora generator that creates videos featuring copyrighted material, unless right holders opt out of having their work appear..”

Re-upping this one more time: this is the audio version of one of my new stories for the year, "Data Ghost" originally published in the Tanith Lee Tribute Anthology Storyteller.

Paging @nick.gark.net There are brutalist bees

This is how we know ivermectin doesn't work for Covid and there's no conspiracy keeping it secret. Any time that a cheap and widely available drug finds a new use case, everybody wins and it gets widely publicised.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

Banana bread is one of those cakes I just keep making, because it's so damn easy. This one has a mix of banana and apple puree in it, because those were the fruit we needed to use up. It's darker than usual because I use brown sugar

This IS a great headline and also: Seattle! Get the word out! Someone was exposed to rabies and needs to seek medical care IMMEDIATELY!

A video has been shared online with claims it shows two boys being arrested for waving an England flag. But the footage is actually from a 2008 episode of Traffic Cops, and shows something entirely different.

The first of many to get caught, I hope. Too many people in public life have taken money from foreign powers to act in ways that harm us all. Ironic that so many of them tout conspiracy theories while being part of actual conspiracies.

The structured finance industry has started creating securities backed by data centers. Not mortgages on a range of different commercial properties, ones that are backed exclusively by data centers Better yet, they can be counted as green bonds because data centers often use green energy

This video is giving bsky energy. Or, at least, the energy I want it to have.

My neighbour got kittens. The other one was not interested in playing and so I gave him some space. This one here has a surprisingly loud purr for a small kitten

Went away at the weekend, and there were bunnies🐇 Literally on the other side of the glass from me. At one point the first rabbit sniffed at the glass. Didn't get a good shot, though

For some reason, the local pest control company brought their birds into my office the other day. The barn owl was extremely keen to get a turn being shown off, while the falcon was checking out the rest of us. The other two birds were no cooperating with photographers in a hurry

Dawn Foster knew.

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

Let us not forget that Leo’s job before he took the big chair was Guy In Charge of Replacing Bishops I think he’s had his eye on this

"Uncritically repeating the most extreme and nonsensical thing an extreme-right leader has said in the last 24 hours" is now SOP...

Let's put this in modern terms: prepandemic, when shops took cash, forged notes were a problem. The most common solution, by 2019, was not to accept any £50 notes, real or fake, because it was easier than spotting fakes Oh look, the metaphor broke Also, forgers moved on to £20 notes

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

It is a truth too often unacknowledged, that a populist in possession of the public's rage must be in perpetual want of an enemy.

For those of you who were thrilled by That Meeting Could Have Been an Email, Academic Horror Productions is delighted to present the sequel, That Other Thing That Could Have Been an Email is Now a Recorded Video.

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

Your reminder that legislation to curb the rights of trans people to use restrooms or do anything else means everyone's behaviour, clothing etc will be opened up to intrusive and unwanted scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. This is not a 'them' issue. Trans rights are human rights.

This does not look like “impartiality”. It looks like propaganda. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

The Telegraph was complaining about the use of the term chair instead of chairman/chairwoman when I was at school in the late 80s None of this stuff is new. Quite possibly, even the advice on use of pronouns has been there for ages
