The inevitable endpoint of this story, in which a man in the Telegraph uses a single case to complain that attempts to treat people fairly are an existential threat to universities. Surprise: you’ll never believe that the professor who wrote the story went to an elite, boys-only private school.

Telegraph headline: “Alex Edmans: Jason Arday reflects a much
deeper rot within universities Beyond the farce engulfing Cambridge is the painful cost that DEI imposes on higher education”

Caught my bees on the landing board absolutely pulling another bee apart today. What do you call quartering from 8 sides eighting? It was most likely a bee that had tried to rob the hive.

Me after my shorts exploded: "Maybe I should lose weight." Wife: "NO! YOU NEED TO STOP WORKING OUT SO MUCH AND HAVING MASSIVE THIGHS AND GLUTES!"

I have seen Minerva ONCE since I installed my bees in the hive. She's so good at hiding that I didn't even see her on the day I moved them from the nuc into the hive (she's marked white). Had a more experienced beekeeper have a look with me today, still didn't find her. She's in there though.

A log of hive inspections.

Wrote this in 2013 and it seems germane re:Sony But what Microsoft was doing was strangled in the crib by the screaming of the ether. Complaints people made then meant they got none of the bonuses that would have existed had they actually been thoughtful about it. www.tumblr.com/demios/52835...

A Pakistani guy told me my bowling form was great, a Kiwi told my balls were incredibly fast, an English dude told me my bowling tripped him up and another said my bowling has come a long way. I still don't know how scoring and matches work. All I know is I bowl, I field and I whack the ball.

"Hmm it's getting pretty hot in the brood box. I should go see if they're bearding so I can see it first hand." The second I get there a guard did a mad dash to my cheekbone and stung me.

Showed my 3 year old the bees I installed in the beehive yesterday. He watched for a bit then went, "where's Vespiquen?" To be fair his older brother has been playing Pokemon Pokopia so it didn't exactly come from nowhere. Still, I chuckled.

I already said it, but even if Destiny 3 were to magically be announced, none of the people that made Destiny what it was have been at Bungie for over a year or two.

NEW: Bungie is planning a significant layoff following the end of Destiny 2's development. Destiny 3 is NOT in active production. Some Bungie staff are pitching and prototyping new ideas including Destiny games, but none are yet greenlit. Story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Bungie Plans Layoffs After Ending ‘Destiny 2’ Development

The Sony subsidiary will focus on ‘Marathon’ rather than jumping directly to ‘Destiny 3’

I remember being unimpressed by the original Destiny beta on PS4. I passed on the game completely. I tried the Destiny 2 beta test on PC and liked what it looked like but decided to skip it. I received a free copy of the game and it's DLC either through humble bundle or humble subscription.
