Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that wearing a Harvard shirt would count as an emblem of resistance

A strong contender for understatement of the year

I bet Isaac Asimov predicted this kind of scenario in one of his novels… 🧪 #digitalhealth Via @mark-ungrin.bsky.social

This is organist Olena Kohut, killed today in Sumy by the Russian missile. Joseph Rheinberger, Visione, op. 156 no. 5 💔

Daughter: I've brought something home. I think it should be your profile picture. Me: That's so thoughtful. What is it? Daughter:....

Have been thinking about how many people I know are facing tough situations with grace and great strength. I hate that anyone should ever have to be so strong.

Done. Sneaky fuckers.

If you see an inky blot at the side of the road that says "15 miles to the RORSCHACH"

hope Normally Weird finds readers - I know it won’t get the shower of publicity that something like Age of Diagnosis got because the media prefers the story of “over diagnosis” but I will work hard uk.bookshop.org/p/books/norm...

It’s very odd to believe that informing people about history is trying to “correct” it. www.thetimes.com/uk/society/a...

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, except those with the wrong current or expected beliefs.

Just realised I haven't posted any photos for a while, so here's the most intriguing sign I've seen in a walk

Something that always stays with me from training, 20yrs on is- "if you leave someone feeling a bit more valued, a bit more heard, a bit more hopeful, if you uphold a person's dignity- then it's time well spent." This is foundational. Even in the most complex situations, this simple guide applies.

as I keep saying, you can't put the shit back in the donkey even if he scraps all the tariffs tomorrow, the damage is done

Plug for my print shop. No new pictures for a while due to a very distracting and ongoing medical problem but I can still post stuff like a brave little trooper. There's well over a hundred original and unique pictures on there though. marswasrubbish.etsy.com

I don't think it's universal but it really should be... Calling @adamcsharp.bsky.social "As rough as ten bears"

Trump to apply tariffs to Hoth, Dune and Muppet Treasure Island.

they really need to invent a second type of money these guys can play around with separate from the money I need to buy food. Business Money. Money 2

Dead people telling the President to pursue a trade war with an uninhabited island is real George III territory

This is part of the problem, as far as I understand it. Nobody crosses the corridor to ask the people from the other side of the tech-arts divide what they think, what they need, what might be useful, what they can help with. It's a really stupid war.

The existence of jet streams implies the existence of fiercely opposed shark streams.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Worth sharing with alt text. Brian Eno's response to the Quaker arrests.

Yesterday, the UK government confirmed that mental health spending as a share of the NHS budget fell last year in England - and is set to fall again next year. 1/3 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/mental-health-nhs-funding-wes-streeting-b2723146.html

We took over the giant screen at Farage’s big rally in Birmingham

my favourite soviet era joke: kgb agent 1: tell me, comrade, what do you think of the leader? kgb agent 2: i think the same as you, comrade! kgb agent 1: in that case, i’m afraid i have to arrest you

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

This is like watching all the animals fleeing inland right before a tsunami. They know what's coming. So did Einstein in 1932 when he left. Doctors Stanley and Snyder are two of the top experts on authoritarianism, and have called it quits. I'll be joining them in Canada this summer.

The DWP appear not to have modelled the impacts on local authority social care services and local authority budget of the cuts to PIP and other disability related benefits assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/67e3fa...

I think we have the start of a romcom www.theguardian.com/environment/... Alt: Guardian article titled "I'm a vet for bees - I think I might be the only one"

I know this is a dull thing to say, but I'm gonna say it again. If you "like" something on Bluesky, nobody sees it apart from the person who sends the post. It's a whole different thing than Twitter. So reposting is very much encouraged if you think something is groovy Soz for being a twat.

Leena Jassi, a researcher at the University of Bath, is looking for participants for a survey into the experiences of dementia caregivers from minority ethnic groups in the UK.  Read More: buff.ly/0QrpDsl

'The damage done by a vehicle to a road surface is proportional to the fourth power of its axle weight. A two-tonne SUV therefore does 16 times more damage than a one-tonne car.' www.theguardian.com/business/202...

It's 5 yrs today since lockdown started in England, but "We must never have lockdown again" is the wrong lesson. Lockdowns are terrible but so are deadly pandemics. Our choices 5 years ago were limited - we can & must do better in the future. Do read my post. open.substack.com/pub/christin...

Welp, there goes the US defense industry.

This is where the 'lefty lawyers' rhetoric leads, if anyone was still in doubt
