Wile E. Coyote is doing a reddit AMA right now for Coyote vs ACME and strictly answering through signs, and it's genius.

Does it come with Simon Pegg's voice or is it old school?
During the “Rings of Power” Season 3 presentation at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, it was revealed that Simon Pegg will voice the Balrog, a hulking magma monster that will help Sauron forge the One Ring.

My feed is full of people watching Top of the Pops on BBC4. Might be some confirmation bias from the people i follow though. Still, good chunk of folk at home on a Friday watching TV.

Short-sighted, stupid cuts to the UKRI budget include shutting down Jodrell Bank, the icon of British astronomy. (Many other cuts too, including 20% to our brand new @vrubinobs.bsky.social). Interesting politically to shut down a major facility in...um..Manchester 🔭 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Astronomers warn it would tear the heart out of UK science, and leave a generation untrained.

Did you see you were in Tom Scott's newsletter today? Got it in my email earlier and was 'yes, i do know what a sqiudmobile is'
And around the rest of the web:

    Yes, the "door close" buttons in elevators are actually connected. J. B. Crawford corrects an urban myth with just the right amount of detail. (Thanks Stefan for the suggestion!)
     
    A friend of mine drove past the "Squidmobile" this week, and sent a picture to a group chat. What's the Squidmobile? Well, when you text the Squidmobile, this Fishtown scientist texts back squid words of wisdom. (The same person runs the excellent Skype a Scientist!)

I remember Charlie Duke giving a talk and he said after all his geology training, when he got to the moon, his orders were 'get a black rock, get a grey rock' and made him wonder what all the training was for :)

A few years ago, i had a job which involved getting various records of the NHS. Every single trust sorted their own IT out and all the records came in different formats on different media. It was a shambles. And they want them all to talk to each other?

1st gig of the year done. The marvelous Half Man Half Biscuit with @ottomancer.bsky.social and @spikerello.bsky.social . As is standard, we did end up next to "film the gig with flash on" nobhead, but a good gig none the less.
