I just want to message a picture of my empty bank account to all the bots so they know they're wasting their time on me. And on most writers, to be honest

I'm just fascinated why authors particularly are being targeted in this way. People who write books are not, on the whole, wealthy people. Is it really worth it?

Pretty sure it's all basic flag-waving nationalism. People are afraid of global changes they can't control and they want leaders they feel are in their corner

"Here's the interesting part." Honestly I'm so, *so* sick of reading those words. Get them out of your emails, your presentations, everywhere

The vast majority of art and creative work ever made is destroyed and forgotten, usually very quickly. It is so unusual for these things to endure!

Everything still points to warming of well over 2C and all the horrible things that come with it, but emissions peaking and then falling would demonstrate decarbonisation and sustainable development is possible. It would throw the world a lifeline.

I wish there was a clearer line between science fiction (fiction about science) and sci-fi (essentially fantasy in space). I adore the former and will occasionally dip a toe into the latter, but they are dramatically different genres

While mums probably are the ones with the mental load most of the time, sometimes it's dads. Yet these articles never include one. Would be nice for once to emphasis that this is an issue of responsibility distribution, not a simple battle of the sexes www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why more women carry the 'mental load' - and how couples can share it
Planning, organising and remembering household tasks falls disproportionately to mothers - here are some tips to help.

It's the proportions that are wrong. Autumn, winter and spring should be a fortnight each, with the rest of the year one long delicious summer

It's exactly what happened in the books. One minute, Bond's dead. Next book, he's alive again. Unfortunately afterwards someone invented the concept of canon and all storytelling was ruined forever

I struggle with this idea that it's only heatwaves we need to worry about in the climate crisis. There will also be excessive rainfall, flooding, periods of extreme cold... it's not like winter will be some safe haven

Spring being almost as bad as winter, that's not much reassurance

Is there a reason that the 2026 eclipse is on almost exactly the same day of the year as the 1999 eclipse? Is it just a massive coincidence? Feels like something someone should explain if not

Personally I think it's cute that there are fans of a fictional character who have built them a shrine in the real world and want to protect it. Not everything has to be an outrage

Like someone still has to be out there creating the knowledge the AI is going to chop up and regurgitate later on. I truly do understand that the technology can be powerful and transformative but it has to have something to transform. The research can’t all be just on improving the regurgitation.

Yes. In Denmark you can rent a property out for 2 years. After that if you're not living in it, you have to sell

I always thought that as a writer I would be useless in a post-apocalyptic scenario but if enough other people outsource their thinking and writing to AI, I might be in with a shot of becoming the "scribe" while the rest of the community hunt, kill marauders, filter drinking water and whatnot

The street design priority list is 1. pedestrians 2. cyclists 3. cars etc. Delivery robots are, maybe 2.5? Probably ok for them to use cycle lanes provided they don't get in the way

4. Providing every person with individual AC units is a wildly inefficient way to proceed. There are many ways to dramatically reduce *demand* for cooling, both at the urban-design level (tree canopies, etc.) & at the building-design level (shades, reflective roofs, etc.).

Growing up in the South Pacific, the school day stopped at 1pm, most work too, so you could relax and avoid the afternoon heat. The structure of the working day can be completely different, if only the powers that be will allow it
