As a handful of us have been screaming for a long time now: there is no "ceasefire". The UN security council has approved the further colonisation of Gaza, and Israel is being rewarded for its genocide. It's still the 1700s in the West, we just have phones and cheap dopamine addictions now.

the first film I ever saw in the cinema! spilled a big box of smarties down the back of my seat, which tainted the experience somewhat

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

IT'S '6-7', COOPER. A GENERATION ALPHA TREND. WHAT THEY CALL A 'MAY-MAY'. IT'S AN ORPHANED SIGNIFIER, NO SIGNS ATTACHED. ONE COULD CALL IT DADAIST, BUT SOMME SAY IT'S TOO STUPID TO BE DADA. IT'S ANTI-MEANING, ANTI-HUMOUR, BUT DAMN IF THOSE KIDS DON'T FIND IT A CRACK-UP.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Rosalind Franklin at her microscope

Raising a glass for Rosalind Franklin tonight. James Watson absolutely did her dirty.

But beware...

I see we've reached the point where news organs are putting out deeply harrowing, and incredibly reported, stories like this every single day, without it making even the slightest dent in ChatGPT's constant fellation by all other sections of the press.

Train hero who saved passengers during attack named: Samir Zitouni is credited with saving lives on the train

spread Samir Zitouni’s name far and wide

As a biologist, It really is a great analogy. Also trees. It's like saying, "There are trees and grass, you have to be one or the other." Ok... where is the line that defines "is a tree?" what about bush-like grasses? Palm trees? NON-tree palms? What about horsetails and their tree-like ancestors?

As we await a verdict in the trial of Soldier F, another reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found

- the killings were unjustified
- none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns
- no warnings were given
- no soldiers were under threat
- the troops were the first to open fire

Aw man, she'd have loved being 69.

Nigel Farage says Britain's eachers 'poisoning our kids' and predicts a teachers' strike as PM GlAean

I'll not even consider paying attention to anything Farage has to say about what happens in primary schools until *every* member of his party is legally allowed to be within 50ft of one

Science journalists find ChatGPT is bad at summarizing scientific papers LLM “tended to sacrifice accuracy for simplicity” when writing news briefs.

Reading papers is a basic skill (and dare I say duty?) of scientists, and I include medical doctors in that group. Keeping abreast of the literature is a foundational part of our professions. There aren’t good shortcuts. In any case, reading papers regularly is fun.

[Withnail, close to tears] “I have become vulnerable in the night-time economy”.

A tumblr post that says The year is 2014. She has been given a lifetime achievement award from the National Book Awards. Neil Gaiman puts it on her neck in front of a crowd of booksellers who bankrolled the event, and it’s time to make a standard “thank you for this award, insert story here, something about diversity, blah blah blah” speech. She starts off doing just that, thanking her friends and fellow authors. All is well. Then this old lady from Oregon looks her audience of executives dead in the eye, and says “Developing written material to suit sales strategies in order to maximize corporate profit and advertising revenue is not the same thing as responsible book publishing or authorship.” She rails against the reduction of her art to a commodity produced only for profit. She denounces publishers who overcharge libraries for their products and censor writers in favor of something “more profitable”. She specifically denounces Amazon and its business practices, knowing full well that her audience is filled with Amazon employees. And to cap it off, she warns them: “We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.” Ursula K LeGuin got up in front of an audience of some of the most powerful people in publishing, was expected to give a trite and politically safe argument about literature, and instead told them directly “Your empire will fall. And I will help it along.”

She really is the best to ever do it. I will always adore Le Guin.
