Something I wish more people would realize.

Ysabel Yates'... I mean Cookie Monster's superb takedown of why GenAI in the workplace sucks.

Artists, show us how you draw black women!

ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton. she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

Imagine replacing this with any physical illness. "Is your cancer diagnosis really helping you?" Because there are no physical symptoms that can be pointed at and because columnists absolutely have no empathy they can't wrap their heads around something that they can't see physical evidence of.

FFS people! They haven’t “gone rogue”, they’ve been ALLOWED to go rogue by humans who are profiting from those rogue actions, and who can be arrested and incarcerated for their willful fucking negligence. Get a grip!

Not everybody knows this, and everybody should. On Sept. 26, 1983, a Soviet nuclear warning system alerted Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov that the U.S. had launched a missile attack. He did not retaliate, preventing WWIII. This is a post about AI. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanisl...

Your occasional reminder that performative sneering at whole genres of fiction is not a sign of intelligence, nor is performative misery a sign of superior talent. Read what brings you joy. No-one else gets to decide or to control what that means to you.

Oh god damn.

Last week The Lancet, arguably the most trusted journal in medicine, published an editiorial condemning attacks on LGBTQ+ healthcare and vigorously reaffirmed the necessity of gender-affirming care for both adults and minors. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

People, young and old, came to the witch for directions. "I seek adventure." "I seek wisdom." "I need a place to feel at home." "I feel like I need to cry, but I can't." The witch listened, and told all where to find what they sought. And the local library thrived. #CrossRepost

So, we found a live bat in our galleries. 🦇 a thread🦇

It's honestly so crazy to me that we're facing a technological revolution that could displace millions of jobs in the middle of a housing affordability crisis and every day we talk about whether a trans woman is playing sports or if someone has a non-Anglo name.

Callback to recent data center discourse - why don't people want them in the community? Because of shit like this: futurism.com/artificial-i...

This should work for any decent country...

Posted again with alt text, apologies.

As Pride Month comes to a close, I want to emphasise the importance of uplifting LGBTQ+ voices all year round, particularly our trans, intersex and non-binary siblings, migrants and asylum claimants, racially minoritised groups, as well as disabled people. Pride is 365 days of the year. #PrideMonth

Let this and the incredible work and results still being done in immunology this year *alone* positively radicalize you. There are people out there care so much and are working so hard to make the world a genuinely better place.

Having one of those days where it feels like everyone in the world has their shit together except me. 🙁

Oh by the way my 15 yr old son would like to let you know the "online safety act" stops him accessing mental health support but has no problem with him accessing websites like "watch people die"

If politicians really want to “save childhood,” they can start by ensuring every child has three meals a day, a safe place to sleep, and safe access to education. Banning social media does nothing to help kids who don’t have basic resources.

The UK Government has moved faster to destroy the online communities of teenagers than it has to limit the power of a foreign white supremacist to launch race riots in the UK's cities and spread child pornography online

RSD is very *very* triggered today.

The amount of sportswear (particularly safety helmets) that don’t consider the notion that a woman doing a sport might have her hair in a ponytail is *astounding*. 😞

This is not "legitimate grievances", this is not about "anti-white racism" or "two-tier policing", this is not about "protesting" This is fascists having been emboldened by decades of mainstreaming We can keep pretending it's not and encourage them or we can do something about it

"Tolkien [...] described our responsibility in this way: 'It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.'"

@labouruk.bsky.social - Why are you wasting time on bigoted nonsense like this when there are real problems to solve?

The swifts!! Are back!!

the president of the united states sued his own government for ten billion dollars and “settled” it by directing that government to use taxpayer money for a nearly two billion dollar slush fund to distribute to his political allies at will typing it out barely feels real

Life is short, hold on to each other while you can ❤️🧡💚🩶

Weird that so many people resist a technology that promises to ruin the environment, steal your data, ruin art and make you unemployed. Buncha luddites.

@calicogame.bsky.social Hi lovely people. Probably-odd question but here goes… Is there sheet music for “A Cat Is A Cat” anywhere in the world? I am willing to pay actual money for some.

AI asking when you type a shit email "should I polish this for you?" but what it is really asking is "should I polish your brain to a shiny pebble so you won't have any thoughts left?" and some people click "yes, please do" consuming metric tons of water whilst at the same time losing their brain.

Five decades of pumping out escalating terror that somewhere, some disabled person might be getting a free sandwich, will do that to a nation.

Nearly two-thirds of unpaid carers live in poverty. New analysis shows how carer's allowance is failing to keep up with wages.
