this is what I was trying to make the BBC acknowledge for the first time lmao

many many variables but it's at the lower end of that range, some reporting includes supply chain usage (power stations), often misreported as coming from the community the data centre is in.

it's a case of people choosing the most favourable way of measuring to make the point they want to make

it was about gen AI and water usage - why is there such a huge gulf between numbers shared in the media vs what the tech companies say

I was fed up of that 500ml bottle of water stat from an old paper, but also big time doubt in OpenAI's 0.3ml claim

I had a question answered on it recently lol

we love you very much

This update includes information you may find upsetting. Please take care when reading. From today, it is with a heavy heart that we announce trans girls will no longer be able to join Girlguiding. This is a decision we would have preferred not to make, and we know that this may be upsetting for members of our community. There will be no immediate changes for current young members, but more information will be shared soon. Most adult roles - including unit helpers, district helpers and administrative support - are already open to all, so we are confident that no volunteers will have to leave the organisation. Girlguiding believes strongly in inclusion, and we will continue to support young people and adults in marginalised groups. Over the next few months, we will explore opportunities to champion this value and actively support young people who need us. We stand in solidarity with trans girls and women.

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

the nominees were
-a campaign to get lifechanging medication for extremely sick children
-a campaign to improve access to justice for victims of rape and sexual assault
-a transphobic hate campaign that managed to convince some judges to make the worst ruling in Supreme Court history*

Glasgow residents launch petition to say pavement parking fines could endanger lives Glasgow residents say pavement parking fines could endanger lives.

"frequent fines from parking wardens, placing an additional financial burden on conscientious residents like myself"

look at all these conscientious people blocking the pavement to make passage easier for the big boy cars, modern heroes

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.

my sixth year 'ball' was at that place!

ol' dependable Alfred

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

I went on this journey too
