Brilliant, geeky, healthy news... well done to @bengoldacre.bsky.social et al.

Nobody needs A.I. but you know what we did actually need? Those new washing up liquid bottles that stand on their head and are always ready to squeeze and don't dribble. Can we do more of that stuff and less tech bro stuff please
Someone wearing a Lithuania Olympics uniform by Issey Miyake. There's a cape across the back that says "Lithuania." Also pleated, flowy sleeves, puffy chest, cinched torso, and close fitting shirt below the waist point. Wearer has metallic pants and white sneakers.
The hood on the uniform is pleated, so it has lines everywhere. The hood is half zipped, so it's covering part of the person's face.
Bunch of athletes in the Lithuania Olympics uniform. The capes across the banks say "Lithuania." There's a Olympics logo on the seat.
Similarly shaped Olympics uniforms for different countries, so they feature different colors in accordance with those countries.
Lithuanian Olympic uniforms by Issey Miyake for the 1992 games in Barcelona. This was Lithuania's first time in the Olympics after gaining independence from the Soviet Union. Fabric was cut and shaped using heat, not scissors or sewing machines.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
This effort has raised significant 💰 💰 💰 for the Charlotte Stoker Fund. The fund is supporting research that will prevent hearing loss in vulnerable newborns. Exciting updates coming soon.
The question isn't whether people should wear high-viz/helmets. People should wear whatever makes them feel safer. Question is whether mandatory high-viz/helmets is good public policy - it's not
Protected lanes, safe junction design, more cyclists, and better driver behaviour are good public policy
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

A pair of St. Brigid's crosses on a countertop, next to a mug. #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Ireland
For the uninitiated, these are Irish Throwing Stars, an ancient weapon wielded by St. Brigid during the 1916 Rising, striking fear into the hearts of the British, and responsible for the eventual smiting of both Cromwell and Thatcher.
In the Irish language, the goldfinch is known as 'lasair choille' (pronounced 'lasser-quilla'), which means...

And once again, a personal appeal if anyone knows a hay supplier in any county around Dublin/Wicklow, I’ve lost mine for the coming months (rain crisis) and only have about a 3,week supply left for a small equine herd 😳

Why don’t we ever see snakes slithering in the snow? 🐍
These cold-blooded creatures can’t hibernate - but they do have their own special skill to survive the snow and cold. ❄️

Letter to Irish Times The notion that ever more garish clothing will compensate for distracted driving is a convenient fiction. No amount of fluorescent fabric can counteract the motorist scrolling on their phone or the driver travelling too fast.

Thanks to 96fm for reporting my comments on the public consultation open now on 30km/h zones in the city.
The guidelines talk about residential areas, but for many areas the consultation will be very important. Speak up and don't assume where you live will be automatically considered "residential".
Teresa Deevy, the playwright once described as 'the Irish Chekhov', died #otd in 1963. Teresa lost her hearing when she was 19 but learned to lip-read in the theatres of London. She returned home to write plays that gave voice to women in the margins.

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage
I don't use LLMs. They're just stochastic parrots that deliver a string of text that looks like the most likely response to a question that a consensus-human would emit. It's not an answer, it's an answer-shaped object that's wrong 25-75% of the time. Utterly useless to me.
