No more illegal wars. Introduce a prevention of military intervention act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.

Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.

The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.

Saw The Testament of Ann Lee last night and I can’t remember the last time I saw such an impeccably lit and graded modern film.

I genuinely think one of the stupidest things a self-proclaimed β€œsensible” political party can do is act like they’re entitled to the votes of certain people, because it inevitably turns into haranguing the electorate for not voting the way the party wanted.

Looking at you today, Keir.

Murder for Dummies -- Episode 01: Victim
YouTube video by Casual Violence Murder for Dummies -- Episode 01: Victim

As a lot of people are pointing out, now is a very good time to support independent media and creators.

Here’s a fun way you can start: you can watch the ENTIRE INDIE TV SERIES my friends and I made, for free!

It’s a horror-comedy mockumentary murder mystery! And it’s really good! First episode πŸ‘‡

And to think I've been told multiple times that I'm "going to fall behind" by not using AI to summarise or gather information for me. I'll stick to actually reading and understanding, thank you.

A screenshot of prompting chatgpt with "how many new clusters were detected by hunt and reffert". It invents a first author for a paper that doesn't exist and returns a wrong answer (five) instead of ~2300.

I'm starting to find that papers mis-cite my own papers in really, really perplexing ways. It's quite obvious why if you just go to that one hyped up tool and ask it about your own work...

ChatGPT got my supervisor's name right but changed me to be a "William" (lol) and gave the wrong number

What is it with funding bodies saying post docs cannot be PI, how else can we get our foot in the door?

My brain just tapped me on the shoulder and handed me a note that said β€œthe only spaghettos I have are regrettos” and honestly I don’t know what to do with that information

I honestly cannot recommend this film enough. If you like slapstick you have to see Hundreds Of Beavers.
