I'd be more ticked off by that, James.

Under water, in denial: is Europe drowning out the climate crisis? Even as weather extremes worsen, the voices calling for the rolling back of environmental rules have grown louder and more influential

Fine Gael have decided that the political tide has gone out for protecting the environment. They are mistaken.

This Starter Pack by @consdotie.bsky.social is really handy for following and keeping us with conventions happening throughout Ireland. Be sure to let them know about others and maybe they can be added.

Anthropic didn’t want us to know that they were destroying millions of books to feed their software. Companies making machine learning and generative software aren’t just metaphorically ripping off books. In at least one case, they’re rather literally shredding millions of physical books to …

“AI giant Anthropic ran a massive program called Project Panama where they spent tens of millions of dollars to hoover up used books, which they then sliced, scanned, and pulped.”

Hani Mahmoud: "I'm not really sure if we can keep calling this a ceasefire, so let's just call a spade a spade. When you have four months of supposed ceasefire, you end up with 600+ Palestinians killed, close to 1,600 of various injuries.. this is not a ceasefire anymore" 🎯

Four new astronauts arrive at the International Space Station to replace NASA’s evacuated crew The International Space Station returned to full strength with Saturday’s arrival of four new astronauts to replace colleagues who bailed early because of health concerns.

The good news is the astronauts have arrived safely, the bad news is that no one on Earth has any record of sending them and when the other astronauts on the station try to talk to them or read the patches on their oddly-designed suits, they're striken with visions of the unending void.

Pancake on the streets of London. Pancake on the streets of Birmingham.

Wow! They were pretty cruel about it. Imagine dreading pancake Tuesday every year.

We are sorry for the confusion it has caused.

If you, like me, realised that you can't find a link to @easterconuk.bsky.social's PlanZ where they're collecting participation requests (dealine tomorrow!), the only way I've found so far to get to the site is to go back to the email we got sent on Feb 6th and ask to reset your password again.

[Scene is a domestic kitchen. Night time. The room is all blue apart from warm orange-pink light streaming in from a streetlight outside. In the center of the room stands a woman named BRANDI, standing in pyjamas looking contemplative, the light cast dramatically on her face. At the doorway, leaning against the frame, her partner JOEL stands has woken up and found her in the kitchen.] JOEL: Honey… what are you doing? BRANDI: Can’t sleep Guess I just like standing in the kitchen at 3am thinking about the supernatural threat we temporarily defeated last year. While saying that out loud in a manner which sounds casually ironic but is actually just blatant exposition. JOEL: Brandi… you're talking strange... BRANDI: Dammit Joel. It’s time you knew. You're a Netflix character. [Joel looks shocked] BRANDI: Everybody you know has been forced to speak to you in second screen dialogue. Second screen dialogue helps the people scrolling their phones in front of the TV to follow the - JOEL: Stop explaining, Brandi! [Hands on head, emotional expression, warm pink light cast on his face against the cool blue darkness of the room]. JOEL: So that's why my entire life has looked so glossy and... BRANDI: Yep... Warm/cool colour graded. [Cut to a TV show TITLE SCREEN]: SECOND SCREEN - A Netflix original - [Ends]

Yup! Tremendously inventive and fun :)

Fair afternoon. I'm about a fifth of the way in @aptshadow.bsky.social's latest, "Pretenders to the Throne of God". Magnificent so far.

This is my favourite ongoing series.

My previous read, "There is no Antimemetic Division" by QNTM was also great.
