Has anyone looked into the possibility of replacing small local train lines with a sort of covered constantly running conveyor belt? Like, just step on it ( walk if you're in a hurry!) rather than waiting 20 min for a 2 mins journey? Sure there's problems, but not the maddest idea?

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

🚨*self publicity klaxon*🚨 There is £6 off my books for the festive period. I’d say they’d make a perfect present for radiologists (and those that deal with radiologists) If you live in the UK, DM me for a signed & dedicated copy link.springer.com/book/10.1007... link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Does anyone that follows me happen to have a copy of the Sunday Times Supplement from Yesterday (7/12) that they'd be willing to part with?

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

Yep, he wants nothing but deregulating crypto to help his crypto business and scrapping net zero to help his aviation fuel business. Which by pure coincidence are two of our policies.

World cup draw presenters have got the kind of chemistry that gets red flags on beaches

Every time I look up at the info board at this train station, my train is even later (or just says "delayed"). Why are we so crap at trains in this country?

Anyone know which is that #PennyArcade strip where employees are forced into mandatory scooter races? It's for a thing

Considering the time, effort, blood sweat and tears that goes into these bloody applications this seems like a modest and reasonable proposal to modestly increase the wellbeing and work satisfaction of academics:

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

An international team of more than 100 experts undertook the first systematic effort to develop evidence-based guidelines for social connection. These guidelines are publicly available. #RSNA25 theconversation.com/we-created-h...

EV: A primer Exposure Value (EV) is the fundamental unit of measure that photographic ‘stops’ are in. While it gets a bad rap because of locked exposure systems on vintage cameras, it’s actually useful to understand when working with any camera as it demystifies exposure choices.

Over 100,000 signatures in a day. Let's get that to 1,000,000 by the end of next week. For a decade and likely much longer foreign and belligerent governments have inflicted lasting damage on our democracy and our society. Enough is enough. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement. Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph Because this does NOT add up! No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies… 🧵1/9

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism". These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

I am currently, because I know how to enjoy a Saturday morning, writing some guidance for people on filling this consultation in. As I do several things are highly apparent. Before I go through them though I don't want this to put people off of filling it in. It is important to do so nonetheless. 1/

Ok when someone says "men, reach out to people" what that DOESN'T mean is "wait until you're nearly dying of it, and then do a colossal no hold ls barred emergency trauma dump on someone that you've got no idea is barely surviving whatever horrific shit they are also dealing with right now, >>

I'd like to see the BBC get a 2 hour slot where they're held to the standards of Fleet street rather than their own impartiality rules. 2 hours of openly vitriolic reporting and commentary against their enemies or anyone they've taken against. None of the HIGNFY smug satire, actual venom.

You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters

Indeed. And remarkably, the guy who oversaw most of that destruction, and who unforgivably blamed the consequences on staff (when he wasn’t blaming patients) has since reinvented himself as some kind of wise, avuncular elder, wheeled on by the BBC to chin scratch about patient safety (yes, Hunt)

"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era. What followed was anything but. Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt. Our rivers are polluted, our bills keep rising, and we’re told to pay still more..."

The blazing cowardice of the centre-right: “Men go through life telling themselves a moment must come when they will show what they're made of. And the moment comes, and they do show. And they spend the rest of their days explaining that was neither the moment nor the true self.” Shirley Hazzard
