Never miss a chance to tell my favourite science joke:

Q: What did Crick & Watson discover?

A: Rosalind Franklin’s lab book.

Please don’t. I’ve heard you attempts at Aussie accents. It’s best if you just say you’re a refugee

musician Gary Numan, born March 8, 1958, aged 68

actor Gary Oldman, born March 21, 1958, aged 67

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone!

The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

I'm worried when Kristi Noem finds out she's been fired she's going to become America's first obedience school shooter.

the LLMs can be defeated by POETRY, its only fair the ai can be defeated by ART

this world is so beautiful and a relative handful of ppl are destroying it on purpose

I'd like to hear the answer to this - especially seeing as this govt has let AI into the treasury already FFS. Some people, me for one, wonder why AI safety wasn't publicly assessed *before* we infested the whole country's money system with it.

We need national broadcasts of the Rick Steves hour on Iran and Anthony Bourdain’s hour on Iran. Back to back, every day on multiple outlets and at different times.

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default

“I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

There is no marketing I'm more susceptible to these days than any company saying they don't use generative AI in their projects. I'm a sitting duck for that promise even if they're selling graham crackers or masking tape.

How does all of this affect the next Riyadh comedy festival?

I turned off the tv today
I painted flowers
I listened to old playlists
I danced in the kitchen
I made good food
I watched the sunset

What can happen to a centre left government party when it decides to follow the racists to the populist right, forgetting that it doesn’t have a mortgage on the left

If Reform had won this, it would be all over our media as an ‘unstoppable force’ and Hanson would be platformed as saying it was inevitable here. But no one ever treats a progressive win in the same way. That’s an ‘outlier’

#lastfourwatched #letterboxd #filmsky

in a literal total collapse of civilization everyone is fucked and the most practically skilled people don't become kings, they just live long enough to watch the people they love all starve so yeah if you think that's gonna happen just enjoying life in the city isn't a bad play

I went to buy Amy’s book but it didn’t fit on the boat so I cleared some space and threw my children overboard.

AUKUS submarine vs East Coast High Speed Rail: neither will ever exist

at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Good, and?
