"Thank you for bearing with us while we renovate the historic Lovecraft Memorial Eldritch Portal and Arts Centre"

Glyn Morgan@grmorgan.bsky.social · yesterday

Being based just over the road, I often go into Imperial to get some lunch or just for a change of scenery. I am always both hypnotised, amused and horrified by this concept art on the hoarding around some renovation work they're doing.

The paper begins: "This will give readers who are not familiar with quantum electrodynamics a brief history of the progress made on the physical interpretation of Dirac’s celebrated wave equation. For a recent review of Dirac's equation and its derivations see [2]." Citation 2: xkcd.com/2501/

I had a blast pulling off a VERY SERIOUS AND NOT AT ALL SILLY robbery with the lovely folks at RWD using @gshowitt.bsky.social's Honey Heist system. Big thanks to the whole team and my fellow guest @thewhimsyblerd.bsky.social for such a fun adventure! Ep1 (of 2): shows.acast.com/a-rendezvous...

Want to play some TTRPGs this November? Please welcome @drtalksalot.bsky.social who will be running TTRPG sessions on behalf of the wonderful @moonshineadventure.bsky.social and @scienceandsorcery.bsky.social 🎲 Seat sign ups will be announced closer to the event! worldslair.com

What's extra frustrating is I could see a place in podcastland for a show with actual human performers in character as dogs. You could even do a post-production Vtuber type thing if video was essential.

Look mum, I'm on TV! 📺😱 I really enjoyed being part of Disaster Autopsy Season 2, talking about the causes and human impacts of engineering disasters like Bhopal, Rana Plaza and others. Plus there's cool (non-AI) CGI models! Coming soon on National Geographic: www.natgeotv.com/uk/shows/nat...

From the Columbia space shuttle to the Deepwater Horizon spill, "Disaster Autopsy" dissects history's major engineering catastrophes. 🏗️🔍 Incredibly proud to have Past Preservers expert Dr. Khalil Thirlaway featured in this gripping Blink Films series for Nat Geo! @drtalksalot.bsky.social

It's my birthday and I have a job interview today. Any spare good vibes would be much appreciated. Or if you really want to make my day, hire me! I'm good at science communication, video/audio presenting and game design/writing.

This has got to be the vibiest place I've ever run DnD 😍 🏰🎲🧝🏾‍♂️🧙🏽‍♂️🧟🧛🏻‍♀️ Giving new players a taste of roleplaying games with @moonshineadventure.bsky.social was a pretty cool way to spend a day.

I MADE IT. After taking nearly 7 hours to travel 200km, I'm finally going home!

Update: after one cancelled train, one full train and over an hour in delays, I'm finally in Toulouse and in a taxi driven by a madman (complimentary) on my way to the airport. It'll still be touch-and-go, especially with the new EU security requirements...

Funny how the police always seem to brutalise peaceful anti-fascist protestors and ignore/facilitate violence from the far right 🤔 What a weird coincidence, I'm sure there's nothing to examine here 🤷‍♂️

Turns out it's not just UK trains that can't take the heat: I'm in France hoping against hope to get a train to the airport in time for my flight 😬 I could do with any spare luck anyone's got lying around rn 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

This is a great example of how AI can be a powerful tool for *very specific* tasks (like detecting ink traces on ancient scrolls), but the real work (like translating and interpreting what's written) needs human expertise.

Dr Naomi Scott@drnaomiscott.bsky.social · 2mo ago

A lot of media coverage of the ‘AI’ reading of the Herculaneum scrolls really fails to understand what’s happened here. There’s no language processing happening, the AI/ML is not trained on a corpus of texts or language. It can detect ink to see shapes. HUMAN EXPERTS are then transcribing the text.

It's useless to engage with far-right messaging in good faith. Much more useful to think of it as DARVO: Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. This isn't the whole picture, but it's a useful tool to understand some of their tactics and how they work. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARVO

In Tsarist Russia, a government run by inbred aristocrats instigated pogroms as a way of turning workers’ rage away from themselves and towards a racialized other Just saying

Elon Musk is unambiguously calling for a violent race war. This is far from unprecedented. The Rwandan Genocide was stoked and enabled by Felicien Kabuga, the wealthy owner of the RTLM radio station that helped coordinate the genocide and used euphemisms like "go to work" to signal attacks.

Fascists in Belfast set fire to buildings with people inside them. People of colour left work early to stay indoors. This is being actively encouraged by the world’s richest man whose openly pro-white nationalist platform X is still used by the UK government www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
