Did more dreadful bougie parents start flinging their entitled offspring onto STEM courses after the Facebook IPO? Maybe? Am I grasping for a societal phenomenon to explain three or four grad hires who annoyed the shit out of me in 2015? Absolutely!

More Britons are failing to comply what used to be seen as civic obligations. Disparate, sometimes important and sometimes trivial, overlay them and it seems like something has slipped in the relationship with the state

ICYMI - A genetically modified pig kidney kept a man off dialysis for nine months before a successful human kidney transplant, according to a world-first report in The Lancet. Read now: spkl.io/633257r8p1

Figures showing (A) Total daily urine output (mL) during the first week after xenotransplantation. (B) Serum creatinine and eGFR throughout the xenograft period. Note that scales on y axes differ between plots. Vertical dashed lines indicate for-cause kidney biopsies—key histopathological findings are annotated: day 14, Banff IIA TCMR; day 176, MVI with endothelial injury; day 264, TMA with transplant glomerulopathy. (C) Serum sodium. (D) Serum potassium. All panels share a common x-axis representing days relative to xenotransplantation (day 0). eGFR=estimated glomerular filtration rate. MVI=microvascular inflammation. TCMR=T-cell-mediated rejection. TMA=thrombotic microangiopathy. Copyright: 2026 Elsevier Ltd. All rights are reserved.

Headline: 'Shoplifting has become totally normalised': The crime blighting communities across England' What's 'normalised' is poverty. What 'blights' is poverty. Without poverty, the only shoplifting would be the cri(m)es for help of the guilty, filthy rich. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq...

The government also doesn’t know why I’m riding a train or using the internet. The issue with data centres isn’t the transparency of their use. But the resources they consume space they take and their impact on the places we put them. Attack the tangibles.

There is no greater driver of economic growth than good public transport links. Look at the boom of the Elizabeth Line. People who whinge about the costs of it are just short-sighted morons. Ignore them and build everything. HS2. HS3. Crossrail 2. Trams in every city. Just do it.
