By day, I look at how the EU funds health research for @helmholtz in #Brussels before reading lots of classic & contemporary fiction by night (and by day on weekends) […] 🌉 bridged from ⁂ https://mas.to/@JensJot, follow @ap.brid.gy to interact
In Svenska, Jonathan = Johan. It's pronounced like “yo-one”. It’s one of the most common names in Sverige, so I joke, “If you can’t be the Johan you love, love the Johan you’re with.”
I tried that joke 3 times with Johans in Stockholm before accepting that Svenskar don’t have a cultural […]
Vision does not come automatically after sight restoration. In fact, when people born blind gain sight, the hardest part isn’t opening their eyes — it’s teaching the brain how to see. @BigThink@flipboard.com tells us how newly sighted people build a visual world:

Erschreckend, dass die Häme über das Wahlergebnis der SPD größer zu sein scheint als das Entsetzen über das Ergebnis der AfD.
In a shitposting between Canadians we were talking about whether we can turn the Tim Horton's medium hot beverage size into a SI unit (My day job provides the experience telling me it can be a constant not a unit).
In doing research to remind me the conversion between Canadian fluid ounces to […]
Air quality index for Brussels on 7 March 2026 hovering between 130-140 all day.
Air quality index for Brussels on 8 March 2026, hovering around 150 before dropping down to 70 on the afternoon and then going back up over 100.
Decided to not go out to ride my bike due to excessive #AirPollution for the first time ever. Thanks for nothing dear car drivers, industry and other combustion engine users. 😔

RIP to the boomer used car dealer who referred to my 21 year-old staunchly feminist daughter as "the little lady" yesterday because her look, her face, in response was withering death. He'll have PTSD from that, assuming he hasn't already shuffled off this mortal coil.

Anlässlich des Weltfrauentags präsentiert Dorothee Bär "Versäumte Bilder" von Wissenschaftlerinnen. Dafür werden aber nicht echte Fotografien der Frauen gezeigt, sondern attraktivere KI-Bilder. Das erschließt sich mir nicht.
A small girl wearing a rabbit costume and blue coat carries a book as she walks to school. Her mother (head out of shot) wheels her baby brother along in a pushchair. The baby says "Peter Rabbit may be the 'Hero' of the story, but surely the obedient, widowed Mrs Rabbit is a more effective symbol of the oppression inherent within Mister McGregor's regime" The girls looks furious and snaps "Mum!! He's critiquing my world book day costume from a marxist perspective again!"

So mal gesetzt den Fall es gäbe, rein hypothetisch, einen #podcast der sich locker flockig mit #3DDruck beschäftigt. Was fändet ihr denn da thematisch interessant? Bitte gerne teilen für Reichweite.
[Admin] Liebe alle, @realscientists.de macht eine kleine Pause. In der Zwischenzeit suchen wir immer neue Wissenschaftler*innen, die eine Woche lang unseren Account übernehmen möchten. Wenn ihr Interesse habt, meldet euch unter: dasistsciencetwitter@gmail.com.
There is the kind of positive news framing that sets my teeth on edge - taking a bit of positive development and turning it into a full "things are going in the right durection" proclamation. It's dangerous, in more than one of way, and often disrespectful to people who made the change happen.

Rare use of a mild regional invective in a report about the regional electoral campaign on the German public news.
The headline is an attempt at translating ‘It’s the economy, stupid’ into a Southern German dialect.

Having an interesting discussion with a Gen Z'er on the topic "when did the world go to shit?".
His answer is 2008. Financial crisis, the genesis of austerity, yeah, I see it.
My answer? 2016, specifically when David Bowie passed away. I've heard about Gary Oldman's "cosmic glue" theory, but […]
A selfie of Mike, my boyfriend and me in front of a modern painting of actor Russell Tovey in a very expressionist, abstract style in red with a bit of black in a white canvas, approximately the size of three letter-sized sheets. The painting is hung between a lot of other portraits in different sizes and styles, we are standing close to the wall, smiling at the camera, all wearing hoodies.
A wonderful day out with @tmfox, Russell Tovey, my boyfriend and me (from left to right) at the National Portrait Gallery 🇬🇧
Yes, the #EU has a lot of regulations.
But remember that thanks to those regulations you can use a single USB-C cable that can charge anything, rather than 10 different connectors and adapters as it was common until 10-15 years ago.
Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you no […]

Dev: [Screenshot of log] are there any issues with Kafka?
Me, typed, but unset: His work is intentional impenetrable, and often times verges on the pointless.

A split photo — on the left, an heat exchanger unit hanging on the outside of a house. A huge bolus of ice has formed on the top, and long thin icicles drape over its front face. On the right, a picture of Joanna Lumley in the role of Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous. Her hair is piled up in a big blond bun with strands hanging over her face.
I knew my neighbour’s ice-covered air conditioner reminded me of *something*.
