Re the Sally Rooney news, I was looking up data on arrests under terrorism legislation the other day, and hadn't quite realised how utterly bonkers the effect of the Palestine Action prohibition had been. That big purple spike is basically all PA-related arrests.

Great stuff from the Telegraph. archive.ph/r2nTA

A 29-year-old woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said the high levels of unemployment were “noticeable” in the area.
“When you go into Somali town, as we call it, you just see people outside in the cafes,” she said, gesturing down the road, before adding: “It annoys me, they are loitering around and doing nothing.”
Addressing her own career path, the 29-year-old said: “I can’t work at the moment because of my mental health. Of course I want to work, I went to uni and studied English Literature for two years. I want to be a writer.”

Argonauts (genus Argonauta) are a genus of pelagic octopuses like to ride around on jellyfish and salps. Female argonauts have a "shell" that is actually an egg case that they live in. They are also known as paper nautiluses, although true nautiluses are actually named after them. #OCTOtober

A female Brown Argonaut (Argonauta hians) riding a red bell jellyfish. The argonaut is sitting on the bell of the jellyfish, and the jellyfish is swimming downward, so the whole thing is upside down. The jellyfish has a dark orange bell and light orange arms. The argonaut has a wavy, spiral egg case that it wears like a shell. The egg case is a off white with black or grey on the outer rim. The argonaut itself is mostly in the egg case but you can see its head and part of its arms sticking out of the egg case. Its arms are sucker side out, and it has a bright orange eye with a round black pupil.

A female Noury's Argonaut (Argonauta nouryi) being held by a person in an orange bucket. The octopus is in its "shell". The "shell" is actually an egg case and is white and bumpy. It forms a spiral shape but that is not visible in the photo. The photo is showing the opening where the octopus is. The octopus is a dark red, almost purple, colour with white flesh that just peeks out behind the chromatophores. It has most of its body in the "shell" and its arms are reaching backwards into the shell, exposing the bottom of its arms. The offset two rows of suckers are visible. Its eye is just peeking out from the shell on the left side, at it has a round pupil. On the front right, its siphon is poking out from between its arms and its opening its sort of shaped like a gridiron football, making it look a mouth. If you see the siphon as a mouth, it makes the octopus have a confused, dazed expression.

A male Knobbed Argonaut (Argonauta nodosus) riding a jellyfish. It is very small All of its arms are visible, including its hectocotylus. It is translucent, with its mantle, siphon and arms being clear but its head being white and more opaque. Its eye is round and silvery. The jellyfish is pointed to the right, and the argonaut is hanging onto that side. The jelly is transparent and clear with some orange bits visible through the flesh. There are numerous shrimps (or similar looking crustaceans) swimming around. The water is black.

A Brown Argonaut (Argonauta hians) riding a translucent jellyfish. The argonaut has a spiral "shell" (actually an egg case) that is it wearing, and its mantle is in the egg case, and its arms are reaching back into the "shell." The shell has a wavy series of edges. The parts of the arms that are exposed have their suckers sticking out. Its mantle is sticking out on the left side. The argonaut has round silvery eyes, its body is white with purple chromatophores, and a beige shell. The jellyfish is clear and has frilly edges. The background is dark.

He buscado en google noticias relacionadas sobre Maricarmen en estos últimos días, y me he sentido obligado a hacer este dibujillo-parodia en cuestión de minutos porque la mayoría de los medios de este país están obsesionados con sacar mierdas sobre ella.

ALT:
pestaña de noticias del buscador de Google con la palabra "maricarmen".
abajo aparece una noticia inventada de la razón, con un dibujo del payaso de It, el titular es "Rentisto el Payaso acerca de Maricarmen: No me pagaba nunca, pero bien que veía Netflix" (artículo promocionado por la fundación La Caixa).

debajo otra noticia inventada de The Objective:
Gilito McPato sobre la mala imagen que se está dando acerca de su empresa "Maltratadoras de Viejas S.L": "Lo estoy pasando tan mal que he tenido que vender mi primera moneda en Wallapop", justo al lado un dibujo-miniatura de un parecido a Gilito McPato con una lágrima, y a su derecha otro dibujo de su primera moneda.

más abajo, otra noticia inventada del ABC: Los reveladores dibujos de Maricarmen a la tierna edad de 4 años bajo la mirada de un psicólogo: "se puede apreciar en ellos que quería una vida ostentosa. La sonrisa de su cara aquí denota narcisismo" (artículo promocionado por Maltratadoras de Viejas S.L.), justo al lado un dibujo que parece hecho por una niña, con ella con unas trencitas, un sol sonriente, y una casa con dos ventanas.

otra noticia inventada de El País:
EXCLUSIVA EL PAÍS, LAS JOYAS DE MARICARMEN: Encuentran un Casio F-91 escondido en un cajón de su antiguo piso: "Con esto Osama Bin Laden fabricaba bombas: no solo era más rica que Zapatero, también pretendía provocar otro 11 de Septiembre, declara Policía McPoli (artículo promocionado por Núcleo Nacional). La miniatura es una foto de un Casio F-91.

por último otra noticia inventada por OKDiario (como todas)
NOTICIA DE ÚLTIMA HORA: MARICARMEN (cegada por la riqueza y la lujuria) HA ADQUIRIDO LA HABILIDAD DE TRANSFORMARSE EN UNA NÉCORA GIGANTE. "Bueno, que haga lo que quiera con su vida, país de envidiosos gracias poderosa señora", declaraciones de Izquierdoso McRojo. A su lado, un dibujo que emula el meme de "wtf amancio ortega adquirió la habilidad de transformarse en una nécora gigante", pero con el texto "wtf maricarmen".

Humaning.

A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

Literally hours later, although at least nobody was killed.

MSF International 2
@MSF
On 13 September, an MSF bus carrying 10 humanitarian staff in Gaza City was damaged by an Israeli airstrike on a targeted vehicle just two metres away. One of our colleagues was injured in the strike.
The bus was clearly identified as an MSF vehicle, with a large MSF sticker visible on its roof. Once again, Israeli forces have shown a blatant disregard for the safety of humanitarian and medical personnel.
Nowhere is safe in Gaza. Civilians, healthcare workers and humanitarian staff must be protected. Clearly marked medical and humanitarian vehicles must be spared from attacks.

I kinda consider this a soft confession to what I was theorising 1) He admits they only care about maths in so far as it brings good PR 2) they're only interested in announcing results that make it sound like they're gonna replace mathematicians ∴) they're optimising for impressive-soundingness

twitter user Noam Brown tweets

Today I was asked why we haven’t announced more math results from Astra since these problems.

At
@OpenAI
we aim to devote time to finding and announcing math results from internal models only when they would meaningfully change people’s understanding of the pace of AI progress. Our main focus is shipping great models so everyone can use them to make discoveries of their own.

The post is a quote retweet of a post from August 1st sharing 10 major open problems in mathematics, saying

An internal version of Astra, @OpenAI’s next major model family, solved 10 major open problems in mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science.

We believe it will be a major step for scientific reasoning....

Hummingbirds.

A four panel comic. In panel 1, a rufous hummingbird flies down toward a large hummingbird feeder with as many as 6 holes on top. He thinks "The humans put up a new feeder!" In panel 2, he lands on the feeder and gazes down at it. He thinks "It's huge. Many of us could feed here at once." In panel 3, we see a close up view of the hummingbird, and he's thinking "This could end the ancient rivalries. Usher in an era of peace. Interesting." In panel 4, an Anna's hummingbird hovers over the feeder and says "Hey, can I have some necta-" and the rufous hummingbird says "No."

Post on X Remember in early 2000s thousands of Polish men immigrated over to UK cause their economy crashed but no one said fuck all cause they came to work, minded their own buisness an left our kids alone.....
