iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This took my breath away. I am seething with anger at the way this professional was treated, and at the utter stupidity of the people involved in that treatment.

Same pattern in UK polling. YouGov's last big poll on trans issues also indexed respondents' views on other social prejudices, and what do you know - pro-trans respondents were much more likely to recognise misogyny and see it as a problem, anti-trans respondents more likely to dismiss it!

How is that a back pedal? The situation changed and so he adapted to it. When you are driving down a road and come up to a car that is going more slowly than you, would you rather crash into it than "back pedal" by braking?

Argh. Of all the takes... They could have made something about how it's possible to transition from one career into science (while pointing out the amount of effort and study it takes) , they could have talked about the massive importance of science communication and education - but no ..

The leading European powers could help Ukraine resolve the issue of Russia's unprovoked invasion within 120 days. If they had the courage to.

My mother adored the robot vacuum cleaner she was given by my oldest son. So much so that she defended its utility at every challenge - even to the point of quietly following it to sweep up any missed spots.

As Pratchett said:

“They avoided one another's faces, for fear of what they might see mirrored there. Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest, and then I'll murmur agreement, not actually say anything, I'm not stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard...
No one said anything. The cowards, thought each man.”

This is an absurdly good analysis. It counts as one of the best things I have seen all year. It is actually thrilling to watch something and feel my mind being whispered into expanding.

Rare footage of St Paul’s Cathedral testing its giant flamethrower

The sun rising over the London skyline this morning, only it’s a very cloudy sky and the sun is visible only as an orange streak of fire that coincidentally seems to be emanating from the spire on the top of St Paul’s dome

No. The two are polar opposites. One group was calling for the overthrow of the state, the other group is calling for people to obey the law. I don't think it's that subtle a distinction

Cities thrive not on fear but empathy, on cooperation not division. That's the NYC we know and love. It has found expression in this movement. And it is rising up at the ballot box today. Polls close at 9pm: zohranfornyc.com/vote
