Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

I don't think people internationally measure quite how violent the French police is in its interventions against kids. It gives you a good sense of what to expect if the fash win the elections next year.

Eric Claxton's guiding principle when designing Stevenage was that separating bikes and cars was fine, if: - Their routes ran parallel - For every metre the bikes gave up in gradient, the cars should give up two - If necessary, you make the cars go further not the bikes Because cars have ENGINES

One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

QRP with your moon art 🌙

A digital illustration in a soft watercolor/gauche-esque, kidlit style. Two walruses, an adult and a baby, are on the moon (not to scale). Above them are a vortex of swimming fish. Each walrus holds a pole with a banner on the end: one says "Hoot!" while the other says "Toot!". Surrounding is a background of blue dotted with stars.

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

Trump historically wore Brioni, an Italian luxury company that makes suits in Italy. Here he flashes a Jos. A Bank label, a US company that long offshored its production to China and Bangladesh. They carry an associated label called Joseph Abboud, which is made in US. Curious he didn't choose that.

Donald Trump in a navy suit. He's opening the jacket, so you can see the label.

A close up of the suit label says Jos. A. Bank.

I've got a good idea for how the BBC should pick the live action show's next showrunner. Ask them how this show fits into canon. If they give any answer other than 'what on earth are you talking about?' 'who cares?' or 'grow up', they are immediately disqualified:

In 2023 I calculated you could inc capacity on BXL-Paris Thalys 186% without new lines jonworth.eu/make-internati… Today I checked the stats - on Mon 19 Oct amount of departing Thalys units is *precisely what it was* then - 32 Changes? Thalys is rebranded Eurostar Each trip takes 5-7 min longer

Make international rail cheaper? Capacity on a route is the crucial issue

It's a common refrain: more people would take the train - especially on international routes - if only it were cheaper! That line of argument assumes that there are actually more trains to take. In other words that there is spare capacity. The problem is that - in many cases - that is

"this wouldn't have existed without AI anyway, it's not taking away any potential jobs or opportunities" if you do not have the willingness or drive to make something without AI, then it shouldn't exist AI is built off of stolen labor. Want art? Do or fund the labor.

Rewatching Conclave for the third time. Utterly ridiculous film, with no plot logic, just events, held together by a handful of great performances. But somehow those performances and the way it's shot connive to make you feel like you're watching a great drama about important themes.

Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase tell me that all those "you should need a government ID to access the internet" people are rethinking this position now. [We know they aren't. Ed.]

The first two paragraphs of the linked-to story:

"Denmark has suffered a major data breach that has given unauthorised individuals access to names, addresses and personal identification numbers belonging to about 8.8 million people registered in the country’s central population database.

"The breach occurred after unidentified individuals misused a private Danish company’s legitimate access to search the Central Person Register (CPR), the government said in a statement Monday."
