The Labour government lurches rightwards once again, this time on asylum seekers (again), throwing human rights and dignity down the drain in the vain hope that Reform voters will be satisfied (they won’t)

Listening to Isaacman during the Artemis press conference last week saying that there were no cuts to NASA from the Trump administration made me want to turn into the Joker...

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.

I genuinely think one of the stupidest things a self-proclaimed “sensible” 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.
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 👇

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
