I learned about curling stones, where they are made, why they are made only in one place in the world, and why the granite comes only from Ailsa Craig - the Scottish Island in Ayrshire also known as Paddy’s Milestone as it’s about halfway between Belfast and Glasgow. www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-s...

Why all Olympic curling stones come from a Scottish island
Kays Scotland have been producing curling stones using Ailsa Craig granite for almost two centuries.

For the #CSCW2025 closing keynote, @ginasue.bsky.social discusses the myth of automation: automation uncovers and foregrounds current sociotechnical configurations. Technological innovation doesn't happen overnight, it's negotiated by people on the ground over time.

It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since. www.polygon.com/strange-days...

30 years ago, Katherine Bigelow made a sci-fi flop that changed her career for the better
Strange Days is a noir-soaked science-fiction thriller set against a backdrop of racial tension, police brutality, sexual assault, and disruptive tech
