Is there any evidence that mandatory humanities classes actually produce more ethical engineers, as opposed to engineers better able to articulate a justification for what they want to do anyway?

I am pleased with how my betta fish dish came out. I’m having a lot of fun playing with the glaze on these fish!

Ceramic dish sculpted in the shape of a betta fish. The glaze ranges from green to blue to purple.

Pleased to announce that after an evening's labour, I have produced the World's Saddest Custard ™️

Translucent white goop with the consistency of really thick custard in a pyrex bowl sitting on a saucepan. It looks like it tastes of sadness but that would be overstating its flavourfulness.

Eine schöne Bastel- und Malarbeit. Manchmal trägt Obelix den Hinkelstein. Manchmal ist Obelix der Hinkelstein. Dürfte nicht leicht gewesen sein, diesen Stein zu finden. #Asterix #Fanart

Das Bild zeigt einen kleinen, länglichen und nach oben abgerundeten Stein, dessen Form an einen Hinkelstein erinnert. Der Stein wurde rundherum so bemalt, dass er selbst zum Körper von Obelix wird.
Auf der Vorderseite sind Obelix’ Gesicht mit den roten Zöpfen, sein nackter Oberkörper sowie der grüne Gürtel mit großer gelber Schnalle zu sehen. Darunter setzt sich seine typische blau-weiß gestreifte Hose bis zum unteren Rand des Steins fort. Seine Füße stehen auf einer kleinen grünen Wiese, die mit roten Pilzen und Blumen verziert ist. Der obere, dunkelgraue Teil des Steins bleibt weitgehend unbemalt und wirkt dadurch wie ein Hinkelstein, der hinter Obelix aufragt.
Die Rückseite löst den kleinen optischen Scherz auf: Dort fehlen Kopf und Oberkörper völlig. Stattdessen sieht man nur Obelix’ Arme, die sich von beiden Seiten um den grauen Stein legen. Seine Hände greifen hinter dem „Hinkelstein“ ineinander. Darunter sind wiederum die gestreifte Hose und seine Füße auf der Wiese zu erkennen.

The internet makes it easier than ever for people to talk about their faith where others can see it but aren't forced to. And as someone who isn't Christian but sometimes thinks I should be, that's what makes me consider it.

This sort of walkable mixed-use loading gauge is illegal in Britain.

The interior of the Shinkansen at the National Railway Museum. It's very beige and has comfortable 3+2 seating with a decent aisle, vertical side walls and plenty of overhead space. Imagine the opposite of a Voyager.

That is not a job within the skillset and tools of even an above-average British homeowner. Which means we're past "redneck ingenuity" and back to "Europe needs to develop a domestic air conditioning industry"

Jess Gwen @gwendrawsquickest.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

By the way, at least in the UK this probably requires planning permission, or at least the average homeowner doesn't know whether or not it does.

Yep, we can all start cutting holes in the brick, insulated-cavity walls of our rented homes, which see significant rainfall during all twelve months of the year.

Tried this out this afternoon and it rules. Downthread Madeline recommends adding peppermint to the black tea - I had only had camomile and that was lovely.

Haven't international ideological alliances been going on at least as long as "international" and "ideology" have been meaningful? International brigades vs the fascist "international" in the Spanish civil war, the literal Communist International, the revolutions of 1848 vs European monarchies...

The result is indistinguishable from a right-winger's imaginary communist dystopia where jobs are compulsorily assigned at random, except this version somehow makes the worst people in Silicon Valley trillions of dollars.

The year is 2037. The jobcentre LLM assigns you 5,000 jobs to apply for each day. You instruct an LLM to apply for them and the 1.5 million applications for each job are evaluated by the employer's LLM. If you do not accept a job you are offered, the DWP LLM will sanction you.

I will accept the criticism that actually Nick Clegg's experience is more focussed on the (very brief) self-interested pivot to the _left_

Jess Gwen @gwendrawsquickest.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Oh wow, really? If only Nick Clegg had seen a self-interested rightward pivot before, he could have noticed this one earlier.

I guess my point was more that progressives don't get to mould institutions like that, either because the rest of the institution pushes back or because squeamish liberal is as far left as you can be in that position
