What good are notebooks?

Not here for anything in particular, you'll just have to go with vibes (although films [movies], motorsport, politics, and culture seem to come up a lot.)

I hope he didn't choose railways for his new career.

Good explanation here, hoorah! And this depends on Josephson Junctions which won Josephson a Nobel. Now I'm wondering whether his work depended on earlier Nobel-winning work...

Gotta send 'em to Sellafield for reprocessing, sorry.

I have married friends who discussed this years before they got married and agreed to post-ironically call each other "bloke" and "bird"

I am a deeply scientific and empirical person in general but I can still tell you some people can fuck up a cup of tea just by being in the same kitchen. It's unfathomable.

That sounds like an Adam Buxton podcast tho.

I can't really get past a kind of roaring sound rising when I read that whole thread. I think maybe your pinned tweet is the best summary of it.

Also looks like I'm blocking *another* Bluesky staffer, huh.

Convinced they went with Tron Ares because it’s an anagram of A Snorter.

I'm still stuck on pronouncing it "Tronares" as if it's "Pleiades"

Meanwhile I see the Nobel for Physics has gone to a quantum thing, so when I look at that I will go "huh?" with a question mark

@nndroid.bsky.social Listening to Miranda's Prodigy ep - what you said about them being the only band that could be on Kerrang *and* Mixmag - they were also the first time I heard anyone from post-rave at Jilly's Rockworld! That was a bit before Fat tho, Poison and Break+ Enter were the biggies

Or "Tronares" as in "Pleiades" or whatever.

New rule: anyone who comments on how Bluesky runs this place should be made to run a social media platform for a week. By themselves. In a basement. With no pizza.

Imagine taking the time to set out TEN things you simply won't fucking do whilst claiming that you do.

I need to think of a ship name for Elite:Dangerous which is comprehensively and breathtakingly rude about Dr Loeb but also ToS compliant.

You know, I have been following this stuff since I could read and this is the first time in 50 years I find myself genuinely thinking of a supposed scientist as "a wanker" instead.
