Am minded to document my upcoming hysterectomy, and wondering if any followers would be interested in that

'A quarrel in a far away country between people of whom we know nothing' isn't really excusable in this context

Not quite. The world is now controlled by boys who recognised themselves as Gollum, and are now trying to rewrite the story to say it ain't so

Actual lol

i like this theory: if you don't stimulate your NDs you get revolutionaries, if you do you get bureaucrats

Am minded to push this slightly

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

Oh my DAYS

Happy 4th anniversary to the night in Svalbard when my phone took this unedited photo of a giant lunar halo over the glaciers of Svalbard to which the only response was to fall into hysterical laughter, serially taken up by each shipmate, how else to respond to such outlandish, annihilating beauty

If things had turned out properly the technological accommodations for elderly people would be much like Wallace and Gromit's house, taking care of everything *except* the people who stop by for a cup of tea and a chat

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Productivity as an adult is just an endless process of applying new psychological tricks and operant conditioning to yourself until an acceptable number of tasks are completed.

Farewell to Eva Marie Saint, the sharpest and sexiest of the Hitchcock blondes who got to wear one of the best dresses in cinema history

If you don't have an account they can't do this

FFS are we really doing this again?

Could the "LLMs can't do anything" crowd and the "LLMs can do everything" crowd go somewhere private to yell at each other so the rest of us can have a normal "this new tech can do things previous tech couldn't but is limited in various ways, let's figure out best uses and regulations" conversation?

It's possible that I'm the only person that finds hilarious robot videos also to be deeply unsettling

Not sure we can talk about social care without talking about private equity

Tech industry is laser focused on solving the problem of humans enjoying each other’s company bsky.app/profile/down...

the tech titan backlash to “woke dei hr ladies” makes a lot more sense now huh

after consideration, I have produced this necessary reference guide, perhaps @sundersays.bsky.social may be interested. If someone wants to provide funding after the fact, I can promise it won't constitute a donation in kind to Reform.

Bayeux Tapestry good but massively upstaged by seeing a cat in a ruff right before

It's just weird isn't it when the British Museum is running a sold-out exhibition, when The Odyssey reports $1billion at the box office, when the V&A has just opened the most innovative and accessible museum model in Europe....and this is what our minister for research comes out with.

This never gets old

Halley’s Comet is sighted - a bad omen

The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.

Rough Draft vs Final Draft

This is the 300-year-old Yew Tree Tunnel at Gormanston Castle in County Meath, Ireland 🇮🇪

Rishi Sunak announced Teesworks as his flagship Brexit freeport as Chancellor in 2021. Over £600m in public money followed. The freeport is now effectively closed. The site is being repurposed as an AI Growth Zone. The named partner: Anthropic. europeanpowell.substack.com/p/sunak-buil...
