Everyone got popcorn? Or is this just to temporarily crash the stock market again? Anyway, the entire Universe isn't big enough to accommodate two egos that size, never mind one country.

@vickyyyf.bsky.social I told a friend about you today. Her 2-year-old has leukaemia - treatment is going well, happily. She seemed really pleased to hear about you :-)

BlueSky, what are some good organisations I can support to help stop the genocide in Gaza? I can’t bear what’s happening, but I’m not in a position where I’m able to do much research or activity.

To paraphrase Margaret Thatcher, not being the gestapo is a bit like being a lady. If you have to say you’re not, you are.

If the government tells you that masking to prevent disease is a lie used by people trying to conceal their identity, then any masked agent of that government can only be attempting to conceal their identity.

There is no honor in making others struggle solely because you did. Persevering through difficulty is worth celebrating, but is worth even more if you can lessen the burden for those who come after you, especially those less fortunate, less privileged. That way lies glory.

My partner got weirded out by how much my new calathea plant wiggles during the day, so of course I had to capture an 11 hour timelapse of it wiggling.

This was over 2 weeks ago. It's only today that we're all recovered. Noro is not always as short lived as they say - and I cleaned and washed my hands fanatically.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

Vaguely wondering why either a) the same guy’s followed, unfollowed and refollowed me about 15 times in the last 48 hours, or b) BlueSky has sent me about 15 notifications over 48 hours that he followed me.

Weren't there a load of memes a month or so ago about how all the tariff back and forth was just to crash share prices so the rich could buy them up cheap and then wait for them to get expensive again? And now it's happened and it's big surprising news?

Classic abuser move: create a crisis and then position yourself as its solution. After the abuser “solves” the crisis, he will expect gratitude and adoration.

And I hope that the rest of the world plans its future - its trade, its sustainability, its energy, its alliances, its peacekeeping - bearing the below in mind.

A few hours ago my dad took my mum to the hospital for some tests. Apparently he phoned my sister with some incomprehensible waffle about her possibly being "admitted" and hasn't been heard from since. Sister and I are on tenterhooks pondering all kinds of worst-case scenarios.

What would happen if we tried to launch a rocket from underwater? Say the bottom of a lake deep enough to submerge the rocket? Or the bottom of the sea?

My poor little baby has norovirus. How she got it such a long time after my husband - six days, him being symptom-free five days - I do not know. I thought we were in the all clear. We had started eating normally again and I was doing so much deep cleaning and feeling optimistic.

They can be. They are also invigorating & reparative at a time when isolation & loneliness erode the soul. Just be a safe (to your fellow humans) protester & show solidarity by masking in crowds, not taking pics, & not falling for provocateurs. There’s usually a goal for strong actions. Know it

I wonder if there were protests in the US towns I've visited: Boston, Chicago, St Paul, Princeton and Raleigh. I mean, I'm pretty sure there would have been for Boston and probably others ...

Americans, I'm slightly scared to share pictures of you protesting (although I know that if that would put you in danger then me sharing would not change that), but I am thrilled as ever to see the number of you going out on the streets and telling your government to stop its destruction!

The regime continues to threaten people and people are publicly saying 'we will not be cowed.' So very important.
