We are all Zelensky.

@reckless.bsky.social Who should one speak to about sponsoring the lightning round? Hypothetically, of course

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Anyone on here work at Target in Watertown MA? Just tryna buy some undies

Honestly I think this holds even if the AI bubble doesn't pop. @braddanford.bsky.social and I were nerding out over an old school regression just last week

I mean, sure, Trump and Elon are turning the US into a fascist state, war rages around the world, and climate change will kill us all, BUT the barista gave me three stamps to fill up my card this morning, so...

In 2004, it took the world a year to add a gigawatt of solar power — now it takes a day

Trials abandoned due to the stop-work order on USAID-funded research:

Number crunching: Potential increase in GDP from new third runway at Heathrow v estimated fall in world GDP for every 1°C rise in global temperatures.

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

This is potentially both the largest security breach and largest graft in US history

My colleague (and neighbour) Kristina does an excellent job explaining why solar power really shouldn't be a divisive topic

BACK TO WINNING WAYS ON THE ROAD! #QPRSHW

It's happening people! The virtuous cycle is well and truly underway. I hope other cities (Boston maybe?) are paying attention

Reports of Navajo people being detained in immigration sweeps sparks concern from tribal leaders The DOJ argued in court that Indigenous people don’t have birthright citizenship, even though they have for 100 years azmirror.com/2025/01/24/r...

I’m suing DOGE

Los Angeles: The city's mutual aid groups are urgently looking for long-term warehouse space to receive and stage emergency supplies. Requirements: storage for 30-50 pallets, a loading dock, and a pallet jack or forklift. Ideally for 18 months.

Tense as biscuits at CBS ... 😬

"How many workflows that might plausibly be using @github.com actions/cache could a user have, Michael? Ten dollars worth?"

I salute the Independent for breaking the Brexit omertà Our membership of the European Union is a political question like any other We should decide what to do on the basis of what is best for our country not a single historic decision We would clearly be better off as EU members

Off to a stonking start at Hillsborough this morning 🤩

Computer, define ‘metaphor’.

In ancient Egypt, people drank low alcohol beer and wine to avoid the parasites in "raw water." The old graves, which I excavate, are full of children who died from diseases we now can vaccinate against. You are ghouls for promoting this garbage.

Gonna put this out there now: If someone is doing Dry January - that's fine. You've no idea why they're doing it. It might be to raise money for a charity, it might be because they're worried they have a drinking problem and need to prove to themselves they're okay. So leave them alone about it.

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

Truly a "game of two halves" today. I'd all but written them off by HT, but am glued to the score as we reach the conclusion. 😬

Granted this a cranky old man take, and also granted that the iPhone is in every respect a superior technology, BUT kids these days will never know the Christmas glee of getting a good gadget (Walkmen, Gameboy, pocket translator, etc…)
