That's Dan Simmons dead. Rare to find someone who is such an incredible author with such rich ideas who also holds such banal, cruel thoughts about the world around us.

what's the source of this image please Ian? Looks v useful.

Parking-aware navigation system could prevent frustration and emissions By minimizing the need to drive around looking for a parking spot, this technique can save drivers up to 35 minutes — and give them a realistic estimate of total travel time.

​New research from @cathywu.bsky.social et al. confirms something I've long suspected:

Navigation apps could save their users a lot of time — and tilt travel decisions toward transit and biking — if they showed users how long it takes to find parking.

there is a dril tweet for everything

considering him for an FPL pick now.

Right but what's the end goal here? What happens when websites become moribund from lack of traffic?

B) IMO. You can bring in Rogers later for Bruno when Villas fixtures are a bit kinder.

Terrific piece this. Culture has got to a weird point where pictures by Matisse have a nudity filter yet the language of porn is everywhere.

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

UK weather: Temperatures to hit 33C for hottest two days in a row Temperatures could peak at 33C on Friday to break Thursday's record for hottest day of the year.

It's about time these stories weren't accompanied by an image of someone frolicking in the water or eating an ice cream.

It's not going to stop getting hotter, we really ought to fucking grow up and treat this seriously🤦🏻‍♂️

Cart Narcs Videos promoting personal responsibility from the courageous agents of the Cart Narcs. As heard on The Woody Show.

it's on a lesser scale of seriousness but have you heard of Cart Narcs? It's a small group in the US who patrol supermarket parking and annoying people into taking their trolleys back. The absolute ego driven RAGE that comes out when people are challenged is incredible.

this is just like the parable of the scorpion and the scorpion

this is just the modern version of all those old ads where clumsiness or difficulty is utterly contrived in order to sell a gadget to fix it. Except we're wasting colossal resources to power this nonsense.

Idk about this. The practical value of a salary doesn't increase in a linear fashion.

you're missing that Twitter exists to a) create profit for Musk and b) promote Musk's worldview. There may be some benefit from posting on there with a view to changing some minds on a topic but it's drowned out by the fact that your clicks are supporting a fundamentally immoral platform.

The best thing about pronouncing Aristotle to rhyme with Chipotle is no-one can definitively tell you that it’s actually *wrong*.

Ah brilliant, thanks!

Very sad I missed this.

Can't stop thinking about the scene on the porch in the most recent episode of The Last of Us.

under the 'agentic' scenario, the cake will be the absolute lowest quality possible, probably made by a ghost kitchen set up to scalp orders made by AIs incapable of discerning actual quality.
