I will be more interested when they make this about prosthetics instead of robots. Show me robotics for humans, not robots in the place of humans doing human things, for the love of god

i will never forget how elon musk said absolutely nothing at all about the NASA artemis ii mission except one post making fun of that women who took the photo of the launch in the reflection of her glasses. he hates space
It's quite common to read these and think, Oh my god, you absolute arsehole.
But this one's especially annoying. Does basically fuck all and seems to think they've saved the day. Christ
It's so good. And a rare book adaptation where every change they made makes perfect sense
Israel bringing back the death penalty that it had previously abolished *specifically* for Palestinians is an absolutely hideous crime
"But the Palestinians being executed by Israel confessed to being terrorists!"
PALESTINIANS. DETAINED. UNDER. MILITARY. LAW. DON'T. GET. LAWYERS. DURING. THEIR. INTERROGATIONS. AND. TORTURING. THEM. IS. ROUTINE. AND. LEGAL.
Oh my god every time I see one I think, Wow, I NEED that, in spite of having completely illegible handwriting and very little inclination to take written notes on anything
Imagine if Iran said it was willing to open the Strait of Hormuz in return for regime change in the US.
Oh man, I really loved Project Hail Mary.
Or, as my mate called it: Bromancing the Stone
never again want to hear that it’s woke nonsense to want our energy to come from the sun rather than being completely at the mercy of Putin or the IRGC being annoyed
I got some ACS musician's earplugs for playing in a band which are custom-moulded and as a side-effect work a treat for hearing what people say to me in noisy surroundings, bit expensive but they've been well worth it for me
You can tell what a success this conflict is by how it's current main objective, keep the strait of Hormuz open, didn't even exist as a problem to be solved before it started.
They blew up USAid and doomed millions to an agonizing death but a video of them being an idiot on camera is causing reputational damage
Look, I know there's bigger things going on in the world and everything, but I need you to understand: they've replaced it with Pink Lemonade and it's dogshit
Devastated to hear that 7up Zero Cherry has been discontinued. I think this drink was responsible for me losing about half of the 8kg I lost last year because it is so delicious and in many ways preferable to having a beer
Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.
Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
It's so funny to stick with 'family voting' in light of the actual results because it means you need to convince yourself that over 10% of the entire electorate are Muslim housewives who have been forced by their, presumably socially conservative, husbands to vote for the most left wing party
This is brilliant, but I get the impression he says something about as good as this every single day 😆
Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
I've clowned myself over the last couple of days when it's been quite nice and sunny by - rather than simply enjoying the sun - telling myself that it's Fool's Spring and it won't last.
Don't enjoy it! It's fake! 🤨 A clear indication that my head's in the wrong place
Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives
If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!
Visualisation from Cities Moving showing how people travel to work differently in European cities and North American cities represented by "the number of kilometres travelled by different modes of transport in a city by aggregating active mobility, public transport and cars".
Absolutely fascinating site - citiesmoving.com
The ABC of mobility visualises "the number of kilometres travelled by different modes of transport in a city by aggregating active mobility, public transport and cars".

So good.
I've been saying this for years! In a nowhere near as succinct way!
Oh, man, that's good. I'm afraid I'm going to steal it at every opportunity
They’re announcing that they plan to strip women and girls (the main beneficiaries of the Equality Act) of their rights and protections next.
We told you so.
It was always transphobia.
Hate all the way down:
I'm trying to ration the percentage of his IG poems I send to friends. It's going badly
It is absolutely critical that you be outside for twenty minutes today. See the sun. For GOD'S SAKE
Going up to the Costa Coffee counter and asking if they have any way of making better, nicer coffee that tastes good
Piss off with the in-game adverts ITV. #SCOvENG
