I’ve got a colleague who dresses just like him, only he knows not to button the last button on his waistcoat. (Is that just a British thing? It’s because of Edward VIII, the king who abdicated)

This administration just can’t help itself but be dicks to non-white people, even if they’ve been dead 80 years.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Wikipedia HERO

A guy discovered a faked photo of a rare blue gas on Wikipedia. So he SYNTHESIZED THE GAS HIMSELF so that he could photograph it. Yesterday he updated the article with this real photo of trifluoronitrosomethane:

Yeah. My son had Winnie when he was 1, so I wanted Piglet, payed the deposit, but then Steiff’s stock ran out just at that time. So we tried looking for something else but nothing quite fit as well. Then about a month ago they were doing their orders, saw Piglet was available and ordered one for me!

A shop in town has really gone the extra mile over the space of a year to make sure I got the right collectable teddy for my daughter’s first birthday, and I picked it up today. It’s PERFECT!

Just bought a glass bottle of @irnbru.bsky.social and the lid was that hard I needed a pipe wrench to get it off. I like to think maybe this is the England-only version, designed to make englishmen feel physically inferior to scotsmen.

I’m grateful for the jury system, and the right of juries to come to whatever verdict they believe best serves justice 🥪

My favorite comment on the FT story

Personally I'd be impressed if they could make something as smart as an ant. Ants only have 250,000 neurons, which is pretty small compared with GPT-5's reputed more than one trillion parameters. And yet ants are able to survive all by themselves in this complex world of ours, without endless infusions of investor capital or government subsidies. I don't think GPT-5 could do that.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.
