Timeline cleanse: You're watching Mei & Kira, two sea otters (Enhydra lutris) at the Toba Aquarium in Japan, help clean the pool area after playtime. The reward is an ice treat. Enrichment activities like this promote mental wellness. Let's talk about the SUCCESS of sea otter conservation.

I have just resigned from the board of "Statistics and Computing", along with 17 other Associate Editors. This was a difficult decision: this great journal has published many tremendous articles under the leadership of EiC Ajay Jasra, and before him David Hand, Gilles Celeux, and Mark Girolami.

New Rust GCC backend report: blog.antoyo.xyz/rustc_codege... We made progress to prevent regressions, which will allow us to spend a lot less time trying to fix unexpected failures everytime we sync with new rustc's updates. Slowly but steadily, we're moving forward! :)

Google removed my article about the shameful collapse of events tech company Pollen (employees lied to by CEO Callum Negus-Fancey, salaries unpaid, a seemingly deliberate $3.2M customer double charge manually initiated by CTO Brad Wright). This island will be important: (cont'd)

The past years have seen horrendous attacks towards trans people. We have a duty to protect the most vulnerable members of our communities. There is no Haskell without the trans people who have shaped it through the years. This June is a month of celebrations, but the struggle continues. ✊🏳️‍⚧️λ

Just like last year, we replaced a whole wall of movie posters with our own punny movie posters at the cinema where RustWeek 2026 took place. I designed seven new posters for this year's event. See the thread below 👇

Scientists are asking if it might be unconscious

My illustration for Ray Cluley's story in Lovecraft's Brood. "Sideways" is about test pilots, an experimental aircraft and something monstrous that lurks in the upper atmosphere. I illustrated all the stories, it's a great collection.

🪼 Your tax dollars paid a scientist to squeeze jellyfish through cheesecloth. Osamu Shimomura processed tens of thousands on an NSF grant to understand why they glow. He found a protein that glowed green under UV light. Called it "green protein." Nobody cared. For decades.

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

so, this is deeply, deeply horrifying thedreydossier.substack.com/p/i-found-a-...

amazing this is not a skit

🎶 Well, the word got around, they said, "This kid is insane, man" Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland "Get your education, don't forget from whence you came, and The world's gonna know your name, what's your name, man?"

New blog post: Evaluating Dr. Cuddy’s Claim that the Debunking of Power Posing is a Myth. daniellakens.blogspot.com/2026/05/eval... On an AI generated description of a non-existent study, incorrectly citing findings from studies, and the importance of scientific criticism.

fascinating

It is genuinely disturbing how much of the current economy is based on having to pretend everything random rich guys say is true.

...marry? Sir, this is an open science relationship.

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

This took way too long and it's not even done, but here's an update: the rewritten version of `crowley` with SIMD parsing on streamed JSON now breaks 2GB/s on my main benchmark nrposner.mataroa.blog/blog/crowley...

Breathtakingly corrupt and indefensible theft of taxpayer money. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Musk v Altman JUDGE: The jury has sent a question and the answer is no, the death penalty is not "available for both sides" please return to the jury room and limit your consideration to civil damages.

In fisheries models, natural mortality (M) is often set to 0.2 per year. A detailed derivation of this result was provided by John Pope in 1975, see below:

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

Chen Jialing（陳 家泠 Chinese, b.1937）

Remember that bug that cost you three days? Or was it a week? What if we could just tell you why it was happening?

YouTube Support, I wish to appeal my ban on the grounds that death threats are acceptable greetings among my people. Worf

aside, i lamented to a coworker today "we only had performant software because computers were slow, and had quality software because distribution was expensive and neither of those are true anymore" then i threw in the old joke of "startups actually lose less money when the service goes offline"

So the statue-pfp crowd on The Bad Place are Having a Moment about the depiction of Achilles (image as a representative example). But the first guy to subvert Achilles was...Homer. Achilles isn't intended as some uncomplicated role model; that Alexander treated him as one is kinda a red flag.

Funny thing: your Rust team probably uses #bacon, #broot, #dysk, or #lazy_regex daily. I'm their author — freelance, available, based in Lyon (remote-friendly). If your company hires #Rust developers and you value open-source, let's talk. Or just boost this. 🦀 dystroy.org

Flash back to this time someone complained about the `let` keyword in Rust and, in doing so, essentially called the biblical god a beta cuck

It's Pancake Day! Time to EAT PANCAKES in HONOR OF MACHIAVELLI! What do pancakes have to do with the founder of modern political science? Our boy Nick was obsessed with pancakes! & wrote about them at length in his "Art of War." Why pancakes? He'd been studying the ancients of course! 1/?
