Long overdue, but rapid testing is a start. Rapid support - that's what's next. Now please.
Endometriosis takes nine years to diagnose. That’s about to change. NICE has approved two tests: a saliva test reading microRNA markers, and a gut-sensor test returning results in 45 minutes, sparing women the keyhole surgery currently needed. buff.ly/QX3jHk8 #ShareGoodNewsToo
Govt planning c. 100 new data centres by early 2030s, mostly in already water stressed areas. They have no legal obligation to disclose how much water they use. Meanwhile Govt launches £75m publicity campaign to urge us to reduce water use & privatised water companies waste 19% thro leaks. Madness
Gamers! As you might know, at the Diana Jones Award ceremony, I read a list of the tabletop gaming industry folks who left us in the year since the previous ceremony. While I have a heartbreakingly long list of people already for this year, I'd like some help to make sure I haven't missed anyone.
Gosh. Amazing stuff. Also, the historically derided proposal that cheese isn't real has yet to be fully investigated in the relevant peer reviewed academic journals. As it stands therefore it cannot currently be definitively proven whether or not cheese is real.
Ducks breathe through their bum holes. That's why they stick their rear in the air when then dip their beaks underwater. This is a well documented scientific fact, cited in such articles as Harris, K. 1982. "The Wondrous Duck's Arse", Birb Sciences, 11(7), pp. 78–126.
AI goes rogue, escapes the supposedly secure sandbox it was sat in, and launches an undirected unauthorised cyber attack against another company? Great. That's great. All good. Nothing to see here. 'Your codes, I need them...' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
OpenAI says its AI went rogue and launched 'unprecedented' cyber-attack
It is one of the first publicly disclosed cyber-attacks carried out by AI without direct human involvement.

Yes, I pay myself rent in order to avoid tax, but it is coincidentally £1 less than the level at which I would have to declare it under Parliament's transparency rules.

Fabulous Roman gold body chain!🤩 A jewelled mount set with amethyst & garnets, and a rear clasp set with gold coin of emperor Gratian. Late 4th century AD. Part of the Hoxne Hoard, discovered by a metal detectorist in Suffolk in 1992. British Museum 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology
E-bike... e-bike... but bicycles are nice safe gentle healthy things. Not like those big fast dangerous bikes-with-motors. What are they called? Motorbikes, yes, that's right. E-bikes don't have motors, do they? If they did surely you'd need some kind of training or a license or something...
E-bike injury payouts top £110m and push up insurance premiums

Alas the UK has been unwilling to address this for a decade despite the pre-covid rise and the covid response being an obvious accelerant. And the UK still seems clueless what to do about it. Schools - for example - are simply increasing the emphasis on discipline and punative responses. *sigh*

Wonderful love for Labyrinth from @podwithmadness.bsky.social !
It's the 40th anniversary of #Labyrinth and I'm seeing loads of posts about it, then suddenly realise I did this art many moons ago. This is one of the movies we bonded over when we first met. Over the years together I've become radicalised and now feel it's a masterpiece.
This isn't just *any* money laundering...

Interesting the article covers work at Horniman's that is largely on the fringes of what the heart of the museum was for me as a lad when growing up. Anyway, a good museum for ttrpg GMs looking for imagination fodder in South London.
