Teaching overran (I will be logging the extra half hour). Got back to my office, put my earphones back on and turns out I had perfectly timed turning off my iPod earlier while listening to The Wall which meant I immediately heard “I WANNA GO HOME”. Same Pink, same

It's October, and here in southern England it's around 17 deg C today, which is something like 6 deg C over the mean. Decades of failing to take action mostly mean that it's too late to disrupt climate breakdown. Vote for people who speak about the issues and are prepared to do something.

I have no idea if this is true but the collage kills me

I’m so used to the wrong pronouns at work and never bother correcting people. It’s on my lanyard, email signature, profile. So when this morning’s lecturer introduced me I didn’t even notice the pronoun use, until about 15mins into the practical session she spotted my online profile and apologised 🥺

A very funny thing is happening where our lovely autistic audience is so horrified with the weird numbers that everyone’s trying to fix it at once, causing further weird numbers. Have we accidentally stumbled on the world’s most neurodivergent marketing strategy???

Making fun of overwrought queer community drama is only acceptable (and truly appreciated) if you yourself are queer. So, str8s interested in the Covid Conscious Lesbian Bar Drama: either have some gay sex or get out of our business.

Today I saw the idea that AI will empower anybody with a good idea to become an entrepreneur and use it to build new business ideas and models and I need you to understand that if you innovate anything profitable enough to notice, OpenAI is going to integrate what you do into ChatGPT and market it.

If you see an increase in cancer diagnosis you don’t impose a wait limit on time it takes people to get assessed. You employ more cancer specialists. People are going after a disability because it’s an easy target. This is state sanctioned suffering, abuse and neglect.

Never been a more appropriate time for this tweet
Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Think I’ve cracked how i can do conferences with minimal anxiety & burnout. Today’s conference and the multiday one a few weeks ago, I’ve intentionally avoided the social side of things when I don’t feel it’s necessary. I used to awkwardly linger at edges, now I just take myself away.

🧪A v interesting-sounding study but I don't think it is showing elephant self-medication as is being reported; it is showing that eight people, knowledgeable about local medicinal plants and about elephants, *think* that is what the elephants are doing... www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Screengrab, text:
"As interpreting medication behaviors in wild animals is inherently challenging, participants in this study relied both on direct observation and on their familiarity with medicinal plant use within local cultural and medical knowledge systems. Many interviewees were familiar with the medicinal uses of plants consumed by local elephants in human traditional medicine. At times, they also referred to modern biomedical concepts, such as immunity and digestion. This knowledge may have helped informants recognize unusual feeding events and interpret selective feeding behavior. Consequently, some therapeutic explanations may result from an interpretive process in which observed elephant behaviors are contextualized through existing medical knowledge. While this dynamic can help identify potential self-medication behaviors, it may also influence how informants perceive and explain the function of those behaviors."

When I said something about a good detective being "miss marple on steroids" my friend coined the phrase muscle marple. So I had to draw her.
An illustration in the style of a promo poster, in black line drawing. The text reads: Forget  HOT POIROT....meet.... MUSCLE MARPLE!

The illustration shows an old lady in a flowery hat with HUGE GUNS.
