Proust Baking Company Recalls Thousands of Madeleines

NHS England went out of its way to tell us (www.england.nhs.uk/digitaltechn...) our data was safe. It wasn't. And we are right to worry. Palantir is deeply political. And highly unethical: it paid for a smear campaign against Good Law Project. Did they also access my medical records? My family's?

In general, (re)orienting education wholly or chiefly to specific perceived market needs is always going to produce disaster once the near term passes. It also eviscerates institutions that might otherwise help people weather change, intellectually and in other ways

Ooh, Hungary. Niiiiiiiice. 👍🏽

I have just learned of "Occam's Kazoo" heuristic to understand the actions of Trump; basically the most likely explanation of his actions is the stupidest. (Original RT didn't have alt-text)

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Exquisite work in this thread

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

I, also, dislike the changes to the @metoffice.gov.uk app. I wish I'd prevented the update. Ugh.

von Däniken relied on the JAQ (just asking questions) method to promote racist ideas through pseudoarchaeological narratives. These ideas permeated all of his books, were broadcast to and normalized through enormous audiences over decades, and have even found homes in far-right places.

It is snowing in SE Ldn. It's hinting at settling. Slightly excited.
