Fucks sake. We could really use a lot of those to do some actual useful science and we will be carrying on paying through the nose for them to sort LHC data and do other interesting stuff, rather than steal art.

Trying to eat less meat this month and got a vegetarian pizza at Pizza Express and then a meat one arrived so they swapped it and I went all food waste panicky, but I'm pretty sure they boxed it up for a homeless guy so that's all good.

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

A tweet by SarahStarberry that says "oh god read the vertical axis" on top of a chart measuring AI models' release dates and model numbers rather than any real capabilities

This is like the discovery that all the tests to see how much microplastics are in the environment were all contaminated by the microplastics present on the nitrile gloves used to avoid contamination.

As arXiv announces a new submission rate limit policy, I refer anyone who is up in arms about it to👇Hogg 2026👇. I'm so confused who would want to submit so much slop? For me (both writing and hiring) it's always been about quality over quantity, every single time. 🧪⚛️ blog.arxiv.org/2026/10/01/u...

This reminds me of this bonkers story from the Marshall Project: www.themarshallproject.org/2018/04/19/f... ... which was also told on the podcast Crime Show: open.spotify.com/episode/0MfW... Anyway. It sort of shifted how I think about DNA evidence.

Framed for Murder by His Own DNA

We leave traces of our genetic material everywhere, even on things we’ve never touched. That got Lukis Anderson charged with a brutal crime he didn’t commit.

Ian Hislop on Newsnight being asked about his biggest wins. Not his biggest losses, like MMR, as people die of measles.

It’s time for Newsnight with Ian Hislop, claiming to agree with me but I’m going to wait and see cos he’s kind of an asshat.

Still hearing the news from around Fairford and fuck all reason why bail was granted given the story being pushed.

Really struggling on today’s Minute Cryptic. Thought the definition was “back to back losses in swimming races”, but there’s not enough letters for the answer to be Riley Gaines.

This is horrific. Lethal injection has never been a reliable means of execution, because doctors with the necessary expertise refused to help develop the process, and most drug companies don’t want to supply the substances used. It is a story of cruelty and incompetence.

I'm proud of some stuff I do at work. Particularly teaching HPC and including ecologically progressive ways to do it. I'm very glad also to see at work @jumpingjupiters.bsky.social is teaching ethics. Kate is a brilliant progressive person in our work environment.

I've gone through some thought about this but fundamentally you must acknowledge AI use. Other stuff I have strong opinions about but not cancel worthy ones.
