Sad and frustrated to see almost 3000 people are up for redundancy at my alma mater. Those keeping the place running shouldn't need to bear the consequences of catastrophic central management failures . www.theguardian.com/education/20...

If Shaggy does a Geordie accent then this is entirely worth it.

Its like a bleaker version of a punchline from The Mighty Boosh where Vince is running late as he had to copyright his own face.

Perfect

This feels like an @actualnames.bsky.social prank that’s got out of hand

We are pleased to announce that the SPM for MEG/EEG course hosted by University College London will take place from Monday, May 18th to Thursday, May 21st, 2026! Registration is now open via the UCL Online Store:

It’s weird what makes you homesick, would not have bet on a BBC Sport montage being one of them.

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

That’s two Superbowls on the bounce where a Drake has been humiliated in public.

Watching the Winter Olympic luge heats and they’ve now got drones chasing the riders down the track. Proper WipEout vibes.

Look, we've all been overlooked for positions at the University of Nottingham, but you don't see me becoming an ethno-nationalist in response.

Yeah the Bears clearly have the big man on speed dial.

Locked out of my work's Google services as I didn't respond to the email sent at 11.40 pm on New Years Eve to enroll in something before New Years Day. Love it. 🙃

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was present at the end of the universe, having witnessed every black hole evaporate and every proton decay. Even so, Death would not come.

Berghain by Roaslía is screaming for someone to make an ABBA version of it.

Happy 55th Anniversary of the time in Oregon they tried to use dynamite to dispose a beached whale. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6CL...

SCORIGAMI!

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

That Broncos game has aged me considerably.

Saw my first lenticular clouds in person today. The lamination!

I think I’ve spent too long looking at linear algebra that I thought this donut shop was celebrating the pseudo-inverse of 90 years.

Well don't I feel stupid

Do it for the job security, or the mountain view. I’m not judging!

Just saw Mario turned 40 this week and so, once again, I present to you: the first level of Super Mario but all the sound effects are farts.

I wouldn't normally link to an AI paper but the DeepSeek paper in Nature has one astonishing stat in the supplementary. The cost to train on top of the base LLM was below $300k. I think the cost of the original model was only 10x more. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

You can tell SPM is uncomfortable about turning 30, it’s spent all year telling everyone it’s 25!

Laurent is fantastic to work with and never short of inspiring ideas. Please apply or spread the word!

We've got a very jet-lagged niece staying with us for a fortnight, so this will be me for the forseeable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhdC...

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus

What a first six seconds for the Eagles, an injury and a sending off!

Its a complex feeling to receive two papers in the same week for comments, both including authors who sadly passed away too soon in 2025. Hopefully these papers in small part help their names echo though the ages that little longer.

I've got 99 problems and they are all related to how FreeSurfer stores mesh data.

One thing I wasn't expecting to have regularly to look up is what the Americans call paracetamol.

Pleased to see this paper finally published. We investigated which conductive models are appropriate for source analysis of spine electrophysiology. Turns out modelling the bone is quite important! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Standing perfectly still so I don't accidentally spend money

This years @meguki2025.bsky.social is the first I’ve not attended since 2012. The fear of missing out is real!

Just written what cnly be descriped as a response to reviewers... to the property disputing issues found with the flat I vacated last month. Less hoping for paper acceptance and more hoping I get some deposit back!

WHY DOES MY MOUSE SOFTWARE INCLUDE ACCESS TO AN LLM, IN WHAT WORLD IS THAT EVEN A USEFUL IDEA?

I once tried to offer Toby Jones some ear defenders when he was clearly having a bad time with the screeching of the Victoria Line.
