The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Saw a hare a few weeks ago, it was crossing the road in front of us at night. Amazing, I've never seen one before!

If you, like me, had an Italian grandma and were never able to figure out why your lasagna/gnocchi/meatballs didn't quite taste like hers: It's probably nutmeg. Nutmeg is ubiquitous in old school diasporic Italian home cooking but has vanished from most modern recipes.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo

Went to see Hamnet, only available seats were at the front so it was basically an IMAX experience. Made an already emotional film into an emotional nuke.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

You probably know that antibiotics often cause yeast infections, which is miserable af.
You may not know that you can be prescribed an antifungal oral medication like diflucan to prevent this.

Just saw people arguing that the shooting in Sydney wasn’t antisemitic because Chabad is a Zionist movement, and killing Zionists is fine.

Deeply disappointed to hear that the BBC has pushed out one of the most brilliant presenters in all of science communication for speaking with integrity and honor in support of human rights and dignity.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
