This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl... 6744231397
Tim Angus @timang.us · 17/09/2026I don't really care about royalty or royal stories, or whether we are a monarchy or not at all, but it does seem to me as if Earl Spencer has basically spent a large fraction of his adult life exploiting the death of his sister, and that's a bit grubby. 121
Tim Angus @timang.us · 14/09/2026Two things that are simultaneously true: 1) At some point in the future, true artificial intelligence may prove to be an existential threat to humanity and we ought to take that seriously in the medium to long term 2) In LLMs, the "AI" companies have not developed true artificial intelligence* 110
Tim Angus @timang.us · 13/09/2026I wonder how much money Jacob Coxon is making from doing this extensive media tour 🤔. 000
Tim Angus @timang.us · 12/09/2026You know when you watch a film and at the start there are characters that seem pretty innocuous, and by the end it's revealed that they're really total evil bastards? This pair give off that vibe. 000

Tim Angus @timang.us · 11/09/2026Slightly alarming seeing all the people on here sharing their childhood memories of 25 years ago. I mean I was only just an adult, to be fair, but time man... time. 011
Tim Angus @timang.us · 10/09/2026I wonder what the balaclava'd wanker "protestors" position is on banning the Burka... 000
Tim Angus @timang.us · 09/09/2026Not sure I really understand the people who use Bluesky to routinely quote post Twitter posts. Like, wasn't the point of using Bluesky to get away from that quagmire? 010

Tim Angus @timang.us · 06/09/2026I'm kind of hazy on this, but I'm pretty sure the last time Germany elected fascists it didn't go so well, right? 010
Tim Angus @timang.us · 05/09/2026Farage said he "deplored" anyone wearing masks or balaclavas at public demonstrations. He added: "You should not be allowed to be masked up, balaclava-ed up and go out and protest on the streets of our country. It is wrong at every level." Welcome to your core vote, sonny jim. 000

Tim Angus @timang.us · 03/09/2026"No longer are Reform comfortably leading in all the opinion polls - in some they're not leading at all." I do wonder if Chris Mason understands words sometimes. Since Burnham became leader, Labour lead in roughly twice as many polls as Reform. "Some". 140
Tim Angus @timang.us · 02/09/2026The SNP have spent a large fraction of their 20 years centralising power, and are continuing to do so. I wonder if their voters consider this ironic? 010

Tim Angus @timang.us · 26/08/2026I mean look, it's just a clumsy way to make SpaceX semi plausibly resemble an AI company, so that investors invest. 110
Tim Angus @timang.us · 24/08/2026It's kind of wild that, as far as I can see, there's been no polling at all on Scottish Parliament voting intention since the election in May. Totally normal country. 000

Tim Angus @timang.us · 05/08/2026I'm not sure I understand the business model of Starlink (and similar). Like, no one in a city is going to need to use it, surely? The rural market is by definition quite small. Rich military customers maybe? 310
Reposted by Tim AngusJames Ball @jamesrball.com · 03/08/2026It's sort of wild that the US president declares war and announces peace deals 3-4 times a week now and it's just...barely even news any more? Could it be unhealthy? Who can say! 4745192
Tim Angus @timang.us · 31/07/2026All these AI companies failing to practice the most basic sandboxing and firewalling protocols. Either they're incompetent or... 120
Tim Angus @timang.us · 30/07/2026For someone so interested and obsessed about AI, Rory Stewart really doesn't seem to understand what it is at a basic level. So frustrating to listen to. IT IS NOT THINKING. 100

Tim Angus @timang.us · 26/07/2026I do wonder what some people (with large followings) on here think they're accomplishing by calling out random anonymous newspaper article comment replies. It's just deeply weird and pointless. 100
Tim Angus @timang.us · 19/07/2026It annoys me more than is rational that the F1 clock's minute hand hits its mark a second later than it should do. It should be in sync with the second hand, not lagging behind it! 020

Tim Angus @timang.us · 05/07/2026Honestly whichever company does the F1 graphics needs fired. They're pretty useless in terms of at a glance information and frequently buggy. Indefensibly so for something so (relatively speaking) simple. 000
