The numbers for potential climate harm from direct fossil-fuelled data centres are just phenomenal. It makes no sense to help them realise their dreams here

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

Remember that time the #Cavs were up by 22 on the #Knicks in game 1 of the #ECF and then the Knicks came back, won, then swept the Cavs? Clearly Kenny Atkinson doesn't. Leave home boy in Philly.

"What is the book that will be written on #AnthonyAlbanese 's prime ministership?" #FranKelly, host of The #RadioNational Hour, recently put this question to veteran political journalist #KerryO'Brien. The former 7.30 host's response was characteristically blunt. #AUSPOL #Neoliberalism #Albo

Today I am sharing a new preprint and accompanying blog post. Hundreds of published papers include impossible western blots showing protein expression in cell lines that have deleted or mutated genes. These clumsy mistakes are widespread and repeated by LLMs.

Horrified to hear of the apparent attack on my friend and colleague Helen Haines. Helen is an extraordinary human being and brings people together like few others. In grief and solidarity wishing her a complete recovery.

Oh, Babble! We don’t see you as “a dissident”, we see you as an ignorant anti vax, overpaid attention seeking moron who could barely spell ‘medical science’, let alone understand it

He's faded with the bat and in the field. Disappointing.

Why? Why follow the leadoff walk by swinging at the first pitch? I don't like it when old Rocchio shows back up.

As Hammy just said, “You can tell Cleveland doesn’t play a lot of games on turf.” #Guardians infielders have had several misplays now, including Rocchio failing to field that DeLuca grounder to start the 6th, resulting in an infield single.

On the opposite side of the globe from this sportsball, my morning work will be more difficult than it usually is.

In an age where it seems like money is everything, it’s refreshing to have Cleveland and Tampa in the ALCS demonstrating that quality can’t just be bought

I’m feeling sick! ​Today, our supposed allies decided to give the mad goblin in the Kremlin more money to keep killing us, and blamed us for it in the process! We made them buy russian oil, you see? By defending ourselves. Freaking circus. ​Donate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Winner-take-all Game 5! It's Guardians vs. White Sox on Saturday with a trip to the ALCS on the line 🍿 #NoTimeLikeOctober

Kudos to the UCI for choosing Western Australia for this year's gravel race. The disinterest of many pros to travel outside Europe for the WORLD championships has elegantly identified the lazy road pros who chase local scraps in other genres of the sport.

It's naive to think that trade team loyalties will disappear at the Gravel World Championships, I expect some of the season's strangest tactics yet www.cyclingnews.com/pro-cycling/...
