I see your snow in Canada & raise you with the after-effects of a (marble sized) hail/ice storm in Marrakesh, mid April (2 days before it was 30°C, 4 days later it was 32°C).

A square graphic on a white background. At the top, there are two distinct, rough, painted-style brushstroke patches side-by-side: one in the blue and yellow of the European Union flag and one in the red, white, and blue of the United Kingdom's Union Jack. Below the flags, bold, dark blue text reads: "THE UK IS COMING BACK TO ERASMUS+." In the bottom right corner, there is a small, rectangular official European Union flag.

The United Kingdom is coming back to Erasmus+.

The European Union and the United Kingdom have enabled the UK's association to Erasmus+ in 2027.

The stench of political death now surrounds Donald Trump — The i Paper Farage, Meloni and Le Pen all realise that the US President is now kryptonite

“Donald Trump has the smell of mortification on him, the stench of political death.”

Presumably at least this will mask the oft reported whiff of incontinence? So … you know … swings & roundabouts.

All I can say, aside obviously from congratulations, is - that was A LOT of work.

Don’t get me started on “…data analyses” or “…analyses of data”, as I shout “I have performed more than one form of analysis on differing data sets, why is that hard to understand?”.

An example of this are microscopes. I have ones that I can still use from the 50’s.

& the antithesis of this idea are the systems that now run microscopes.

A less specialist example of this would be - Cars.

Cars come with guarantees, retro and mod parts etc. (I miss my 1964 VW Karmann Ghia).

Not sure this is totally in keeping with ‘old-coded’ opinion but I’d go with, “We should try to repair things before replacing them”.

& they should have warranties.

Inherent in this is the idea that “things should be built to be reparable with parts capable of incorporation into newer versions”.

Your Backpack Got Worse On Purpose In 1986, a corporation that made women's lingerie bought every backpack brand you've ever trusted.

Well. This makes for depressing - though not unsurprising - reading.

“This is the pattern. Acquisition. Cost optimization. Quality decline. Warranty narrowing. Brand equity extraction. And eventually, divestiture.”

Sephadex columns! Suddenly had a flash-back to making Nick translated probes.

Mind you they were 1 - 2 ml syringes.

7 ft is just bad ass.

So good.

“LLM of choice would react when called out on its subsequent error. “You’re right – I overstated that. I shouldn’t have implied the US president is a benign deity who can raise the dead. To clarify – he’s a malignant narcissist and a tumour on the world. Thanks for catching that.”

Opinion | Behold, another second coming. But this one is Donald Trump – WAY BETTER than that Jesus guy — The Guardian The Middle East on fire, a spat with the pope – and he posts himself as Potus Almighty. Will his disciples now see that their messiah has feet of clay, asks Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

I’m going to stop commenting on this now as Marina Hyde has succinctly eviscerated Trump & his crowd of laughing hyenas better than I ever could.

Actually I think I’ve figured out what Trump was trying to channel in his pseudo-Jesus post.

Timothée Chalamet praised by Royal Opera and Ballet boss for boosting ticket sales Alex Beard says the public response to Chalamet saying "no-one cares about ballet or opera" was "fantastic."

Another example of the ‘Trump-Vance Effect’.

Daily Star tabloid cover featuring Trump’s AI post image of himself as Jesus with the Monty Python referential headline “ You’re not the Messiah you’re a very naughty boy “.

If you’re getting trolled by the Daily Star you are in serious trouble.

Mind you this only works if the Pythons had meant ‘Naughty Boy’ to mean ‘narcissistic sociopathic orange skinned douchetard’.

Any insight @ericidle.bsky.social?

“Vance On Trump’s Jesus Picture: ‘The President Was Posting A Joke'

“VP Vance says that Trump's post, in which he appears to be depicting himself as Jesus, was a joke & he took it down because he recognized that a lot of people weren't understanding his humor”.

Funny - that’s not what Trump says.

I don’t know about the Clinicians but Researchers have been dressing like this for years … mainly because a lot of PI’s already think they’re Gods.

Seriously - he can’t think anyone is buying that excuse. So he is either demented or an idiot. Or both.

Again - the omnipresent stress.

I have now replaced the stress of ULTs crashing with the constant worry of systems going down during live imaging expts.

So swings & roundabouts ….
