I couldn't figure out if this was a real reply that she made? Here's the reply she has up now:

New Chicago Review of Architecture wants younger voices weighing in on the city’s built environment An offshoot of the New York Review of Architecture, the magazine will feature “erudite, humorous and hyperlocal writing.”

Shot by Australia’s first camel The first camel in Australia shot its owner, the English explorer John Horrocks.

While researching Australia's camels looking for New Mexico oryx connections - this is what you call a freak accident generalist.academy/2021/02/16/m...

In 1956 the AP ran a story about Dr Frank Hibben, anthropology professor, shooting an oryx. As chairman of the New Mexico State Game and Fish Commission, he would release dozens of African oryx in White Sands. >5,000 now live wild in New Mexico and west Texas.

I'm making a video on Missouri v. Illinois (1901 and 1906) when they complained about Chicago reversing the river. This was only ~20 years after typhus bacteria was identified. Both sides hired experts and the scientific community followed the case "with intense interest".

In the trailer / your promo image they once had it launching from the DPRK/Russia/China border junction, which would raise some other realism issues IMO. Either way hard to know who is to blame.

The correct decision from the Nobel committee. If they had even muttered the words "quantum computing" the number of start-up founders posting about their quantum crypto coin NFTs would break LinkedIn.

multiple overlays on top of Google Earth view of a Berlin neighborhood, these represent an East German exclave, the Berlin Wall, and a map of other exclaves

ok 🤓 making progress! Digitized exclaves on github.com/mapmeld/leafhack/tree/main/berlin

I'm aligning a 1967 map of West Berlin with Google Earth and this exclave (Wüste Mark) is still a field

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

HSBC unleashes yet another “qombie”: a zombie claim of quantum advantage that isn’t Today, I got email after email asking me to comment on a new paper from HSBC—yes, the bank—together with IBM. The paper claims to use a quantum computer to get a 34% advantage in predic…

I was going to post a rant about the perils of quantum computing hype, following the claim by #HSBC & #IBM that they have improved bond market predictions using a QC, but instead I will just link to Scott Aaronson's blog which says it all scottaaronson.blog?p=9170 🧪⚛️ cc @bullshitquantum.bsky.social

tl;dr that a cure-all bed like in the scifi movie Elysium exists, the fullblown conspiracy version is once it's ready, we get free healthcare. This appeals to a lot of people with chronic, life-threatening conditions or medical debt

A Lime scooter is sitting on a walking path, coated in red paint. The paint is uneven on the wheels, so it looks like a bad spray paint job.

After all the rants about Section 230, especially from the GOP, are they really going to make a new one for AI companies??

I really hope this "antichrist lecture series" thing was dude read a lot of medieval lit and wanted to talk about it, halfway relatable, but making it a tech accelerationist talking point is so deranged
