Researchers looked at whether a tried-and-true poverty alleviation effort that gives cash and coaching to households, and is typically implemented in rural areas, could work in an urban setting. n.pr/3QREdO7

This is the report they're basing this story on can someone tell the ABC that sick leave isn't an income support payment?

walkable cities are also shittable cities

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

“The strongest evidence exists for shingles, flu, RSV, pneumococcal and diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis-containing (DTP) vaccines,” in case you wanted the TL;DR, but you should still read the article.

I would literally pay for bluesky+ to do automatic alt text on images because, I'll be honest, doing it on a phone sucks there are a lot of things I would pay for and literally no way they are enabling the paying-for-it

Richard Dawkins right now

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

ROFL

First time I notice this game. Art and theme seem nice:

The product I paid for vs the product I received. Do not buy from #Aeska, they are a rip-off.

In my experience, your”throwaway code” will work its way into production nine times out of ten.

This kind of mixed use urban planning is illegal in America

Also, it’s “toe the line.” Not naming any names, @zachweinersmith.bsky.social

“It’s ok guys. We’ve learned our lesson from authoritarianism and it will never happen again.”

The real shocker was the use of “towing the party line” instead of “toeing,” but only for grammar nerds.

The earliest DOS source code was found on printer paper in Tim Paterson's garage so we've open sourced it on 86-DOS 1.00’s 45th anniversary! This is next-level software archaeology for preservation, and plain ol’ curiosity. #DOS #RetroComputing opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2026/04...

Scott called me up last week to tell me about this, and I kinda went giddy with excitement. It is SO COOL that this stuff is being published.

'We've been a little bit too romantic about the idea that we should have employees and give people long-term job security' is an extraordinary thing for a video games CEO to say on record: aftermath.site/video-game-job...

One time I was crossing a one way street for a team outing and I looked both ways, as usual. The CTO laughed at me. “Uh, this is a one way street…?” And I said, “someone dumb enough to go the wrong way on a one way street would totally run someone over.” Stupid people are so dangerous.

Full disclosure re previous repost: I adored Jonathon Livingston Seagull when I read it in my teens.

"Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic." what a fucking banger

It’s an anechoic chamber.

Great horned owlet feets. That is all.

"Mr. Musk has used SpaceX as a kind of piggy bank over the last two decades, according to an examination by The Times... Mr. Musk not only secured loans from SpaceX to himself, but also relied on the firm to shore up at least three troubled businesses in his orbit, The Times found."

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.

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Feeling a little vulnerable putting this out there as I don't typically feel comfortable asking for financial help but here goes nothin' Now that the initial scary diagnosis part is over, I'm now entering the scary US Healthcare part. Any help at all is appreciated, even just a share. Thank you 💜

“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”

I finally put all my secure-coding training into one place 👀 New brochure is up, with what I actually teach, who it’s for, and what teams get out of it. If you’re curious (or responsible for training devs): 👉 https://twp.ai/9Paxnl 1/2

I mentioned this part of the life cycle of stolen cultural relics when the Louvre heist went down. The stolen-to-order art disappears into some pathologically selfish cocksucker's private vault for a generation, then resurfaces after they croak w/a golly-gee-where-did-this-come-from provenance gap.

i don't think believing this makes someone an evil person BUT all evil people believe this

Yes. I don’t think anybody has questioned that, Ben. The problem lies in those values of yours.

Y'all couldn't write "Connie Ballmer"???????

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

i will keep reiterating it but the mRNA vaccine is one of the most important human inventions in history, next to the printing press and the solar panel, and the fact america is abandoning it is frankly anti-human in all ways possible

this is very much not a new phenomenon, nor does it have much of anything to do with 'modern dating'

It's been just over ten years since @mikemignola.bsky.social and I first start talking about introducing "steampunk science guys" into the world of Hellboy, and I'm thrilled to be teaming up with the amazingly talented @christophermitten.bsky.social once again for their first solo outing!
