We haven't seen #28yearslater but imagine it's a continuation of this
21.00 FILM: 28 DAYS LATER WITH JOOLS HOLLAND. When a rabid monkey from a rare disease laboratory escapes and infects a number of established and new musical acts causing them to turn into killer zombies, the popular blues musician must play a series of boogie woogie riffs on his piano whilst also wielding a crossbow. Recorded in April.

a gray hairless gremlin squints at the camera with the look of a bad motherhecker. she’s scowling, but wearing a pink fleece jumper with cherries printed all over. the cognitive dissonance is strong. upon further inspection, this may just be a hairless chihuahua, but you can’t blame us for the misunderstanding.

New evidence on how relatively small changes to how "AI" is used could reduce its (huge!) energy use significantly:

www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2...

Our recent episode of Rare Earth on the environmental costs of data centres and "AI" is here, with a deep dive into the wider issues: www.bbc.co.uk/progra...
Practical changes could reduce AI energy demand by up to 90%
Artificial intelligence (AI) can be made more sustainable by making practical changes, such as reducing the number of decimal places used in AI models, shortening responses, and using smaller AI

Just one week after the neutron was discovered, two pioneering minds at the Cavendish Laboratory, John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton, became the first to split an atom using a man-made particle accelerator and ushering in the era of subatomic physics. buff.ly/sdyt47n #CambridgePhysics150

Who has a paper at #ICHST next week? I know the #SIC Scientific Instrument Commission's programme but am finding it hard to navigate the rest. (My pre-recorded paper will be in the 9am 4 July slot, which is 10pm on 3 July in the UK) #histSTM

A light beige, creamy soup or broth is in a white bowl. Two pieces of light beige, somewhat translucent, likely sliced mushrooms or a similar fungus, are held aloft by black chopsticks, in the soup. The mushroom pieces appear to be vertically oriented with a slightly darker cap at the top of each; the stems are long and thin. The soup itself has a cloudy, slightly yellowish-brown tone. The bowl is white and the lighting is somewhat diffused.

Do you experience hyper-empathy to the point where it can be overwhelming and distressing?

Well, you’re not alone…

Research by Sheffield Hallam University found that many autistic people have “hyper-empathy, an emotional response so powerful and uncontrollable that it causes distress”

This is Aslan. He is the mystic guardian of this enchanted forest. Will not let you pass unless you answer his tricky riddles or give him 3 pats on the noggin. Your choice. 13/10
a big fluffy samoyed sits back on his hind two feet in front of a forested path. the dog has his front paws held up and in like short t-rex arms, and his mouth is hanging open, revealing his soft pink tongue. amid the fluff atop his head, it’s hard to say for sure, but it seems one ear is pointing up while the other points out to his right.

now *this* is the anecdote of the day
While many Chinese businesses are reeling from the trade war, Qi, the Maga merchandise maker, brushed off any suggestion his might suffer. Trump supporters, he said, were willing to pay any price for items bearing the image of their beloved president - and US suppliers were making such a huge profit on them that they could afford to partially absorb the tariff impact. A Trump baseball cap, for instance, cost only Rmb7.50 ($1) to produce. Tariffs might raise that cost to Rmb2o, but the caps were being sold for $50 in the US. "American sellers could even use the tariffs as an excuse to raise the price to $60 - yet the extra cost will still be borne by the US consumers, " said Qi.

12 April 1936 | A Belgian Jewish boy, Sylvain Melzer, was born in Antwerp.

He arrived at #Auschwitz on 18 January 1943 in a transport of 610 Jews deported from Mechelen. He was murdered in a gas chamber.
A young boy with curled hair is sitting on the back of a man whose face is not visible as it is cut by the frame of the photo.
