A genuine treat for £1.60? Try the shortest railway line in Britain Adrian Chiles There is an even shorter route in Germany, but that runs less frequently - which gives the shuttle train in my home town the moral victory Thu 16 Oct 2025 11.00 BST class 139 train

it's the one redeeming feature of nandos

Not a fan of single track or shrinking the active travel corridor. But the mixed traffic is my main gripe with so much of the city centre part of existing line.

Ideally they'd substantially take motor traffic off of the Dean Bridge route. Seems a more useful set of stops on that one too. Wishful.

National speed limit road

Try explaining to someone outside the UK that this road, shared with walkers, cyclists and horse riders, legally has a 60mph speed limit. Madness, really.

Article on BBC news. Title: AI designs antibiotics for gonorrhoea and MRSA superbugs Description: Two new potential drugs have been designed by AI to kill drug-resistant bacteria, in a major Massachusetts Institute of Technology study.

I really dislike how science has started calling almost any fancy computational technique AI. 🧪

The framing of this entire article makes it sound like a benevolent AI independently made these drugs.

That is *pure fantasy*.

Instead: a team of scientists made a machine learning model for a study.

Oh come the fuck on

The damage Sonia Sodha has done by spewing hate from the Observer is incalculable. I feel it is worse than the Sun and Mail because she radicalised Observer readers who consider themselves liberal and gave them permission to be openly bigoted.

Headline: deputy pm says ministers must accept real concerns people have - regarding migrants - amid fears of another summer of riots

If you take nonviolent direct action, Labour will brand you a terrorist.

If you riot, and try to burn buildings down, Labour will listen to your legitimate concerns.

Take note, comrades

Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!" This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows: Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

The Times headline: Transgender teenager’s German chess triumph prompts call for ban

IT’S FUCKING CHESS

What POSSIBLE advantage, even in the warped mind of a transphobe, could being transgender give you at chess? They’re so nakedly hateful they just can’t stand any trans person winning anything ever. Pathetic.
