IT’S TIME!!!

Midas touch.

has anybody done a PALE FIRE/HOUSE OF LEAVES but with an academic book

Tbh if someone’s criticism of a game is that it’s an “industry plant” that’s a very clear sign to never take their opinion seriously 😑

@domingosmiguel.bsky.social As iniciativas expontaneas era o meu tema inicial de tese de mestrado...em 2005. So mudei para o dialogo concorrencial por causa de uma conversa com o PMB.

It’s delicious to watch the millennial meltdown about Mixtape.

Atmospheric CO₂ of 340 ppm

Scary diagram on how much of our daily lives would fall apart if somehow we were cut off from US tech. Tech sovereignty and resilience is going to be costly! www.ft.com/content/4c3a...

I’d hypothesise this happened here too: hospitals, magistrates courts, police stations etc concentrated in bigger centres, so solid jobs go, local services then fold, shops close - a downward spiral 1/2

Ah, yes that blight called wind turbines and solar panels 🤦‍♂️

Those two final episodes of Maul Shadowlord 😳

Academic citations fabricated by AI are now a widely recognized problem. But the scale of their production and circulation is still pretty shocking. This is quite a neat, accessible site presenting the results of the 2.5m papers study published in The Lancet this weekend www.maxtopaz.com/citadel

A short piece on my thoughts towards the rise of Ukrainian power and what it potentially means in a rapidly shifting world order.

There’s a contradiction in terms on that sentence.

Unsurprising, I think.

@apequenacereja.bsky.social chega aqui sff

DIY is torture for me and that includes painting shelves. All I can hear in my head is Mr Miyagi saying “wax in, was off” but with a paintbrush in my hand.

Danish Prime Minister Fredriksen fails to form coalition, liberal takes over

@reneartois.bsky.social precisamos dos serviços de comentariado do nosso correspondente para assuntos transcendentes…

@euroconcern.bsky.social ele jogou no Swansea ha muitos anos e uma vez cruzei-me com a equipa no aeroporto de Cardiff. Estava na fila no cafe e ele pergunta sobre um capuccino para um colega: “is this coffee good?”

🚨 | ALL Welsh Senedd Seats Declared! No overall majority - Plaid Cymru largest party Final results: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 PC: 43 (+20) ➡️ Reform: 34 (+34) 🌹 Labour: 9 (-35) 🌳 Conservative: 7 (-22) 🌍 Green: 2 (+2) 🔶 Lib Dem: 1 (+1)

Looking at today’s Labour results in Wales and the song that springs to mind is Silverchair’s Pure Massacre.

@euroconcern.bsky.social isto é tão tipico que dói. Urnas fecharam ontem as 10 da noite, sao 5.30 da tarde do dia seguinte e ainda não estão todos os resultados apurados.

“Counting is under way to elect 96 members of the Senedd, and it's estimated the first results could be declared about lunchtime, with the full picture known by this evening” Must be a late Friday lunch then.

This will end in tears.

Ah yes, taking back control.

Removing an EU Commissioner following national elections would set a devastating precedent. It would effectively make the EU Treaties a dead letter. Ties between EU Commissioners and national governments should be cut, not tightened.

Como disse na altura, saltou da frigideira para o fogo quando se armou num chico-esperto.

Steam Controller ran out faster than we anticipated, and we hate that not everyone who wanted one was able to get it. We’re working on getting more in stock and will have an update on expected timeline soon.

Excellent opportunity for researchers in computational humanities and AI: a 3-year Research Fellow/Postdoctoral Researcher position in Helsinki focusing on trustworthy AI across linguistic and cultural diversity. jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki... Please spread the word!

Someone out there decided it would be a good idea to put a German Shepherd in charge of babysitting a bunch of Doberman puppies and they were 100% correct

“It Ends With Settlement”

1️⃣ A “very concerning” trend is unfolding in the Danish Navy 🇩🇰 - according to confidential documents. Despite pay raises and recruitment drives, more sailors are leaving than expected. A slow, steady bleed of the frigate crews. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Managed to order a Steam Controller but “delays expected.” Still better luck than many in the US.

The real time tracker at dr.dk for how long Denmark has been without a new government after the last election is pretty funny. 40 days is a long time by Danish standards. In other countries 40 days is nothing.

“Let’s tune in and watch the race, shall we?” “Oh, it has ended already.” What a clusterfuck of a season.

Today’s iPad.

It’s going to be a long afternoon…

@euroconcern.bsky.social olha, por esta nao esperava no tugao. Um grande bem haja ao Doutor Tomas:

Time for the weekly presidential pump and dump.

Crikey.

Portugal é o 5.º país da UE com carga horária semanal mais elevada

What a clusterfuck of a season so far...

@reneartois.bsky.social Se alguem te vir de oculos, e melhor que desconfie!

Assim é impossivel.

Estava dificil tirar o ketchup hoje, irra.
