#SGDQ2025 starts today!
For those who haven't heard of it, it's a charity marathon steam (plus in-person event for many of the runners) that raises money for Medicines Sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders). Some of the best runners in the world speedrun games for an entire week, and while there's sometimes cringey moments, it's overall an LBGTQ-inclusive space with a thoughtful core team, and there are always going to be a ton of epic and/or hilarious moments throughout the week.
Check out the schedule page to see if any games you love are on it, and you can always catch VODs on YouTube after the fact if you miss something good.
I was going to post some games I'm looking forward to, but it seems like the schedule & main page are down right now. Hope it's not a DDoS...

Great showing from Pulp at Glastonbury. Jarvis in full effect in a charity shop brown suit that's too big for him. He's 61 years old but it's like 1995 again. And my favourite track is actual new music, released only this April.

This from IPPR on the greatly increased costs of UK government debt servicing seems reasonable from IPPR.
1) Tax the big 4 banks on the windfall profits that the government is, effectively, funding.
2) Slow down the QE buy-back.
I would also think that the government/bank could, as an exceptional measure, buy back some of the long term gilts using 'monetary financing' aka 'printing money'.
Not something to be done willy-nilly, but here it could get govt ou…

Figma IPO’s surprise winner is a charity with 13 million shares—and a famous backstory that sparked a bitter feud over an oil fortune decades ago
The Marin Community Foundation netted $440 million as the IPO's largest selling shareholder. The philanthropic organization is itself the product of a previous generation of big business—and a famous legal fight for control of the money.

Ten years ago, my friend Rik Wanninkhof's son, Patrick, was killed while cycling across the US doing charity work for Habitat for Humanity.

An absolute curtain of rain closed in and caused a delay. It soon passed and the game was able to resume.
At 3-2, it was a narrower victory for the home team, the Salem Red Sox, than it ought to have been. The Carolina Mudcats had 6 errors. There could have been a 7th, but the scorers must have felt some charity for a duffed ball at 3B and let it slide.
Single A baseball is that of dream chasers and prospect pitching, not necessarily brilliant talent and discipline.

Unusually High Gas-to-Dust Ratios Observed in High-Redshift Quiescent Galaxies
Tracking the cold molecular gas contents of galaxies is critical to understand the interplay between star formation and galaxy growth across cosmic time. Observations of the long-wavelength dust continuum, a proxy for the cold gas, are widely used in the high-redshift community because of their ease and efficiency. These measurements rely on the assumption of a molecular gas-to-dust mass ratio, typically taken to be GDR ~ 100 in massive, metal-rich systems. We present Atacama Large Millimeter/s…

The influence of nitrogen doping and annealing on the silicon vacancy in 4H-SiC
The silicon vacancy ($V_{Si}$) in 4H-SiC at its cubic site (V2-center) has shown significant promise for quantum technologies, due to coherent spin states, the mature material system, and stable optical emission. In these SiC-based applications, doping plays a crucial role. It can be used to control the charge state of $V_{Si}$ and formation of different types of defects. Despite its importance, there has been little research on the effects of doping. In this work, we perform a study of the eff…
