Did someone in Iran round the corner, unexpectedly see UAE just 45 miles away, and in their surprise and panic accidentally launch a bunch of missiles and drones. Whoopsie Daisy. Sorry about that, chum.

@… No.
Sorry but it needs to be both capitalized and punctuated, that’s how hard one should not.
Oh, dear thing, did you see a post by a Palestinian facing genocide on your favourite fucking sci-fi hashtag by mistake? You, poor, delicate flower. Do you think you’ll survive? Should we call 911? @… ht…
Think about how expensive Uber has become. Now look at this chart (sorry; borrowed it from Reddit; assuming it’s not completely wrong), and draw the simplest conclusion about how much this LLM stuff is going to cost when you’re not getting a handout to subsidize it.
Heck, if a straight line is too hard for you, just ask the LLM.
And why women's education has no bearing on when they choose to have kids. Sorry, Heritage Foundation...

It's my turn to speak 😳 I'm doing an introduction to cryptography. No special maths knowledge required!
Get ready to understand the famous Diffie-Hellman key exchange! One of the core building blocks of the Signal protocol. Crypto-coins? Not part of this talk, sorry bros! Quantum?? We will not dive into that, but you will learn why people care. Signatures?…
I feel sorry for everyone still on X. Not realizing what it's like to be free of Musk's power. The man literally bought Twitter to allow transphobic Babylon Bee back on the platform for "free speech".
Someone in another country apparently gave their students the task to reproduce one of our studies but gave them no guidance on how to do it 😬 I'm really sorry, not-my-students but I can't give you individual tutoring on experimental methods, data analysis, Python and statistics this week. Sorry your prof sucks 🙃 #academicChatter
Please watch their charming video! Watch, and look at the faces: kids of many races and many genders, all different levels of knowledge, every one of them showing this deep-seated sense of agency and ownership about science and about their own learning: “I belong here. This is for me.” It’s everything the fascists fear.
Full disclosure: my kid is one of the kids in the program (but not in the video, sorry!). I can thus vouch for this fundraiser with extra confidence.

See, files were not the best of ideas, neither do I think every damn thing should be abstracted as a file, nor are the APIs that great. Sorry folks.
This is not a set up, this actually happened, I'm so sorry. Don't read on if you're not a 13-year-old schoolboy, or at least have an equivalent level of humour.
If you leave iPlayer running in a background tab, eventually it pauses itself. I forgot I'd left it running (muted) after doing the Spandau Ballet screengrab earlier, and flipped back to that tab just now to find it had freeze-framed like this.
So for all those asking "is this song about nuclear war or ...." I think we have an answer.

They keep mentioning that USA star Olympian Hilary Knight is playing in her last Gold Medal game. With all due respect and empathy, I hope we ruin her fairytale ending.
Not sorry....
If you ever feel like you aren’t achieving as much as you want to, just remember there are people out there who are content with having read just one book in their lives, convinced it means they know everything there is to know about the world.
That said, try not to dwell on the fact that they’re the ones running the world right now or you might feel bad again.

I was under the impression that Iceland was actually in Europe. Likely this is just a dumb way to say "EU" but often Iceland gets completely ignored.

Happy 104th birthday 🎂 to my late mom 👵🏼, who was not born on Friday the 13th😱 but was born a bit under a cloud 🌧️. She suffered extreme poverty 💸 during the depression 📉, had way more kids 🧑🏽🦱👱🏼♂️👩🏼🦰 👶🏼 than she planned for (sorry, mom), never got that PhD 📜, or the chocolate brown Mercedes 280SL.
I’m not sure she loved my dad, or her kids, or herself. I should have asked! But she lived a long life and was, for me and a lot of others, a feminist, activist, progressive role model. …
sorry label on container, this is not Greek yogurt.

There had been another Stephen Rees, in the UK, who had tried to use Gmail by using his ID as ReesStephen
I had got though to him somehow. Obviously not by using Gmail so that ID appeared to available to someone in Australia
Gmail ignores dots and spaces in ID names
If you live in Australia and know someone with the same name as me who has recently opened a Gmail account just let them know nothing is going to get through to him. Sorry!
Kinda related to #Gentoo, so cool" or "they stopped using it, so sad". And I'm like, "why should we care?"
Do they donate money to Gentoo? They don't. And if they did, it would probably come with obligations making this not worth it.
Do they contribute back? Rarely, and if they do, they are unreliable. They benefit more than we do. They just want to dump the packages they need, quickly duct taped together, so that we would maintain them going forward. Their employees rarely reveal that they're paid to do this, and if they do, it's not so they'd be held to higher standards, but to emphasize their importance: "you must placate us."
Well, sometimes they hire Gentoo developers. It's nice that these developers get some gratification for their work, especially if they're able to continue contributing on work time. But in the end, company priorities win. We are either left with loads of new packages with no maintainer and unclear significance, or a Google employee who appeared every once in a while to dump a bunch of ChromeOS patches and never bothered handling the fallout.
So, sorry, but I'd rather care for volunteers who want to make Gentoo better, than companies who see some profit incentive in it.
PS. I'm probably focusing too much on the negative aspects, and we likely had some positive interactions that are far less known and usually don't meet with such fanfare.

Good Morning #Canada
It's probably a good idea to review that "longest undefended border" thingy in light of an increasingly belligerent American government. This delightfully quaint 12-year old video, from when we were still kinda buddies, presents some history and oddities on how the Canadian-USA border was established. The reference to a "no touching zone" is somewhat ironic when you consider that their current president has a reputation for being "hands on", usually without consent. Not sorry...

Good Morning #Canada
Today is National Toast Day, like you didn't have it circled on your fake holiday calendar. Canadians consume approximately 1.4 billion kilograms of #Bread annually which sounds like a lot until you compare us with Turkey where per capita consumption is almost 200 kilos annually. Bread consumption in Canada was down slightly in 2025, attributed to higher prices due to tariffs. But home baking and shopping at local bakeries all increased. Healthier bread options also increased their market share as customers opted for high-fibre ingredients and foods enriched with prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics... and a bunch-of-other-otics. It may be good news that there are plenty of gut-friendly options available in the shape of whole grain and rich-in-fibre bakery products, but IMO a lot of them taste like cardboard. I said it... not sorry...
