The large number of emails I now get that are obviously AI is kinda annoying. I’d rather just have the human send me the prompt or bullet points of what they want to tell me; it would actually be more respectful of my time and get to the point!
Interesting anatomy!

I’ve gone in deep on @typst and literally can’t stop. It is so fast. The compile cycle for me has gone from minutes to miliseconds. Tinymist is also immense. I’m all in. Converting all my workflows out of latex.
I’ve finally moved some essential workflows from latex to @typst.app and honestly, it’s just perfect. It’s so easy to work with and control every element. Logical. Fast. It actually makes to shudder to think how many hours I’ve spent debugging latex.
Does the new shingles vaccine (Shingrix) protect against cardiovascular disease (CVD)? Yes, according to a new 'natural experiment' study in @natmed.nature.com. But the truth is sadly far less convincing! Pull up a chair and let's examine another peer review failure in a Nature journal. 1/10 🧵
Copilot bollocks appeared on my Mac version of Word this morning. There appears no option to remove it, I assume because it's licensed through my university, who have drunk all the LLM Coolaid in the universe.

In January, I stopped using X as a communication channel because the platform facilitated the creation of illegal and deeply harmful images by its AI tool, Grok. I am renewing my call for all governmental and parliamentary communications to stop using X. The platform continues to facilitate
Just finished the Pitt season 1. Obviously totally mad and silly. But the scene where Dr. Robby looses his shit with grief is very very relatable. If you’ve felt this; you are not alone. 😢
Quick thinking having a tablecloth handy. I didn’t even notice the twitching from that dead robot.
PSA on the Victoria Line tube in London. Phillipson and every other GC weirdo needs to take note.
It's World Emoji Day, so here's a friendly reminder that we have 🚷 and 🚳 but not

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
Pedestrianization is often framed as transforming streets. In many cases, we're actually restoring them. We're reclaiming what's been lost: social connection, local commerce, civic life, and human-scale movement. Perhaps it's time to shift from street transformation to street restoration.
