RIP to the world's first software engineer news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

"Joel" sent this vid of farm workers harvesting tomatoes in Gilroy CA. They earn 93¢/25lb bucket. Pickers carry two buckets as that allows them to work quicker. Walking over the uneven terrain with this heavy weight puts a lot of strain on their body. #WeFeedYou

In honor of Banned Books Week, a reminder that Civil Rights icon Ruby Bridges called book banning an excuse to "cover up history": "History is sacred—that none of us should have the right to change or alter history in any way.”

You can’t always see pollution, but you can see its impact on our children’s health. This World Lung Day, we're reflecting on the progress London has made in cutting harmful pollution and protecting young lungs across our city.

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

Found this lovely project - Yellow Towers - via @edinburghminute.com They're planning a physical exhibition! Submissions are welcome from the public and from artists of all kinds! Deadline: 14 Dec yellowtowers.cargo.site

Remember when Nigel Farage was more than happy to publicly big up the IRA for £74. The fuck you think he'll do for £72 million..

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

ULEZ was never a crack down on people driving, always a push for better respiratory health. 🚗 💨 “Examinations of London schoolchildren before and after the introduction of the city’s ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) found a restoration of lung capacity […] stunted by exposure to pollution”.

Relying more on gas power will save money, as long as gas is cheap – and stays cheap in the future. About that… (Annotated chart from Johnny Gowdy at Regen)

This stopped me in my tracks. An independent study by @qmul.bsky.social has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.

A brief note for Nadhim Zahawi.

I still absolutely think that the English rugby team should learn how to morris dance properly and do it in response to the Haka against New Zealand.

There now follows a party election broadcast by the Count Binface Party, And if I do say so myself, it's a banger. #VoteBinface #Clacton

@molassive.bsky.social you probably have some lovely cat art... :)

actually what you don't want to read while eating your lunch and scrolling... but the comments are good :)

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

Thinking of how my chapter in an academic textbook opens with this picture bc no one told me the “fun headshot” they requested would be published without further questions or context at the start of said chapter

This morning's quake in the Philippines detected in Edinburgh on both the gravity meter and the @raspishake.bsky.social. On the Raspishake it is mostly visible in the lowest frequency bin of the spectrogram. On the gravity meter the signal has stuck the instrument against its endstop.

Marjane Satrapi (1969-2026), the French-Iranian author and illustrator behind the popular graphic novel series and film “Persopolis,” RIP 🙏

This summary of different early medieval literature is still one of my favourite things on the internet. #medievalsky

Here are the facts: People have always had and will always have abortions in all 50 states. Abortion pills are safe, effective, and have been used by millions of people. No court or politician can change either of those realities.
