Scandal! At the Workhouse! Great thread on the corruption and abuse at Peterborough workhouse on 1909. #History

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

The existence of a sign into both English and Spanish at a Korean supermarket it what makes America great tbh

Whoa! It’s risky being a fictional geologist. Out of 202 movie geologists found in 141 movies released between 1919 and 2023, 69 die on screen or are found dead—a mortality rate of about one-third, according to an April paper published in Geology Today. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

recently saw this TERRIBLE advice to “write more human”: - don't use “curly” quotes, use straight quotes ( " and ' ) - don't use en or em-dashes, use -- and --- - never use an ellipsis (…), use three dots (...) please for the love of god don't write worse because ai exists. good typography is cool!

@davisjason.bsky.social maybe EFL's strong stance on S'hampton cheating will embolden SPL re abandoned title decider and EPL regarding the 115 charges.

The real Thucydides Trap was the power we squandered along the way.

@armscontrolwonk.bsky.social has previously said "Test a missile, get a Pod" so I'm hopeful. youtu.be/3JMghRUaSPs?...

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

I want everyone (EVERYONE) who wears Meta AI glasses branded as a creep and weirdo (bad weirdo as opposed to good one) and publicly shamed. We did it with Google glass, we can do it again

@davisjason.bsky.social re Gyökeres, 14+1+1+5 = 21 goals in all competitions. (5 is UCL _so far_) Is 21 goals enough? (The artificial round-numbers demand has been gotta buy a 20 goal forward.) -- Bill in Boston #ARS #NERevs

Enjoyed hearing #nerevs alum @briandunseth.bsky.social on the 🍎📺⚽️ call of @nerevolution.bsky.social @ MIA NU .

Socha has been nominated to be the next director of the National Park Service for some time now. But we still have the opportunity to stop his confirmation. We just have to make enough noise now.

Since we’ve been talking about unqualified people in leadership roles all week…we thought we’d keep going and tell you all about the current NPS director nominee, Scott Socha.

He's the worst thing that ever happened to America. I despise him BECAUSE I love my country. 🇺🇸

OR JUST WRITE THE THING YOURSELF FOR FUCK'S SAKE IT WILL TAKE LESS TIME THAN WHATEVER THE FUCK THIS IS mashable.com/article/sinc...

Googly eyes might stop seagulls from stealing your lunch. UK researchers stuck googly eyes onto takeout food containers in seagull-infested places and found that they were far less likely to be approached or pecked compared to un-googly-eyed control containers. buff.ly/G5i7JE5 #ShareGoodNewsToo

I’m generally pretty happy with the genetics I’ve got, but maaaaaaan, I would CRISPR myself to make cilantro not taste like soap.

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.

It's a good day that i can hear @briandunseth.bsky.social on SXMFC midday ⚽️ 🎙 and then on 🍎 📺 & SXM 🛰 📻 📲 on the game call in the evening.

This story has it all: Defunct New England retail institutions, coffee table books, Gen X social memory, a charming elderly curmudgeon, advertising history, and consumer behavior. I hit that pre-order button so quickly.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.

I do not want to be on guard when I read manuscripts. I do not want to be on guard when I read slush. I do not want to be on guard when I listen to music, when I look at visual art, when I WATCH A FUCKING COMMERCIAL. I hate Altman so much I burn with it. He and his kind have stolen the WONDER.

Happy National Library Week! 💙📚
