Monty Python had an album called Matching Tie and Handkerchief. Was a 3 sided record, but only putting the needle down by hand, could you find the 3rd side. Had it over 2 years before I discovered it. I know the feel.

Elephants are said colloquially to never forget anything, and donkeys are supposed to be stubborn as hell. Somehow, (R)s can't remember history, and (D)s are rolling over. I feel like they need new mascots, like (R) jackals and (D) sloths.

It was such an honor and pleasure to chair the Signal Transductiion in Microorganisms GRC. What a wonderful team - with vice chair Victor Sourkjik and GRS chairs Varun Sridhar and Yajie Xu!

They [Labour] need to recognize that polling shows many across the country support Greens' policies. Labour is rightly worried about how many seats the Greens could win in England and Wales in just 106 days.

I met her at a Private Eye organised thing once. Mistook her for Harry Enfield's dads' wife. Got her to sign a book of hers I then gave to a lady at Xmas but she rejected it. Anyway, glad Norwood & Tulse Hill are now trendy. Didn't know she lived near there. Knew Edna O'Brien lived in Herne Hill.

I've been writing in C++ for 30 years and have never understood what that :: shit means, and have never needed to 😄 Thank god I don't have to read any code I don't write myself! Also, you CANNOT trust C/C++ arithmetic. If I could change to Swift I would in a flash.

The Grille 17/21 SPG design took its final form #OTD in 1943. This enormous vehicle based on the Tiger II chassis weighed 55 tons and could carry a 17cm gun or 21cm howitzer. One prototype was partially completed before being captured and scrapped. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

🤮🤮🤮and more off and on since 1:20 AM. A norovirus, I think, likely picked up at my friend’s on Tuesday. Washed my hands there A LOT, but not enough, apparently. She was sick on Sunday, I was there Sunday & Monday to bring her soup, crackers, etc. & walk the dog. Then there as usual on Tuesday.

Just watched Blade Runner with an in-sync live orchestra at the Dolby Theatre. Yeah, that didn't suck. You know what will? Watching any epic movie now without one!

I mean, I'm sure it's not ALL familiarity that makes some designs stand out as class. The sloping and rounded turret profile; the size of the gun relative to the rest; the size of the caterpillars; sloping body armour; yet overall simplicity.

Yup! 👍 I said this the day before yesterday but got 1 like🙄 It's not fair! 😆

It's quite nice! Also, I can't quite understand why it isn't more common. It's a basic geometrical form.

Fascists are known for "zero-sum game" strategy - that the easiest way for them to profit and gain is via causing suffering or loss to all others; by extortion, blackmail, oppression, subjugation, enslavement and/or annexation of others' lands. "Fascism is Narcissism Writ Large", also known as EVIL.

That part.

I both love and hate this robot hand... the nerd in me thinks it's such a cool idea for a hand to detach and wander around, using its fingers like tentacles. But it also totally creeps me out! Anyone else? #robotics 🧪 www.sciencenews.org/article/deta...

Hubble took a long look at a nearby cloud of gas suspected to be hiding billions — BILLIONS — of times the Sun's mass worth of dark matter, and found out… yup. It's a dark-matter dominated cloud that failed to make a galaxy when the Universe was young. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/hubble-pee... 🔭 🧪
