Because of the heatwave in Warsaw our director shortened the workday. So now I get to cycle home in the middle of the day with the thermometer showing 36 degrees 😀

This statement by UEFA on FIFA attempting to sell off the World Cup gave me goosebumps, what a statement - the beautiful game deserves no less “As so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale.”

I am of course aware that the amount of people working in agriculture has gone down dramatically, but I still thought that here in Poland the share would be much higher than 6%. Those are a noisy few percentages!

Our World in Data@ourworldindata.org · 7d ago

In the past, most people worked in agriculture; in today’s rich countries, only a small share do. Since the agricultural revolution, the majority of the labor force in countries like France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and the Netherlands worked in farming.

Im very agnostic on the entire Nolan Odyssey thing, I barely care enough to post, but I will admit that posting that "Emily Wilson has never actually read the Odyssey" is very very funny

Cliff Pervocracy@pervocracy.bsky.social · last wk.

I've been negatively polarized and I hate the Nolan Odyssey now boo hoo, I'm sad I did all that violence. I will make sad faces about it on my way to do more violence. instead of banging sea witches I make sad faces at them. don't you dare have fun at this movie it's not for that

Jag antar, @doktorzjivago.se, att du har sett den här artikeln om Ben Katz: cen.acs.org/analytical-c...

Ben Katz showed the internet that some vegetables aren't vegetarian

His work has revealed a lack of transparency in fruit- and vegetable-based products

My favorite depiction of the Trojan Horse, and the earliest known version. I love the windows, like an airplane, and that the windows go up the neck too.

You can kill a French vampire with a baguette. It's a painstaking process but it works.

They were heading to far southwestern Ontario, which is southeast of Oshkosh (and south of Detroit). Also, fun fact: 27 U.S. states are located partially or entirely north of Canada's southernmost point. One of those states even borders Mexico!

Science-themed version 🧪: “Dropping science like Galileo dropped the orange” Although a better lab-themed line might be “I used the wrong method with the wrong technique”

This gets to something profound: both positive and negative (null) information are valuable for scientific progress, but our story-telling minds value positive information more, and this carries over to the kind of heroic narratives we tell about scientists.

From intelligent ships to clues about eclipses, Homer’s The Odyssey reveals how Bronze Age Greeks understood the world.

This! These monsters are fast. I cycle quite quickly, usually ~30 km/h, and I’m regularly overtaken by delivery drivers. Here, there’s a 20 km/h speed limit for electric vehicles on bike paths and a max power limit, but there is zero enforcement!

Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · 2w ago

We’re using the word e-bike to describe too many things. Electric assist bikes are a version of bike & have many public interest benefits. But vehicles being driven by food delivery app drivers aren’t a form of bike…they’re a form of motorcycle. They don’t belong on sidewalks or pedestrian streets.

🇵🇱⚖️Sylwia Grzegorczyk-Abram is very well educated and suited for this job. She's also a very bad pick for this job. How's that possible? She flew too close to the radiant sun that is PM Tusk and his party. The ombudsman should project an aura of impartiality, and I fear that she's unable to do so. 1/

Notes from Poland @notesfrompoland.bsky.social · 2w ago

The ruling coalition has chosen Sylwia Gregorczyk-Abram, a prominent lawyer and activist, as Poland’s new human rights commissioner. The opposition criticised her candidacy, arguing that her ties to the government make her unsuitable for the non-partisan role.

Lust auf ein kleines Quiz? Dieses Semester habe ich u.a. einen Kurs zum wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten gehalten, der eng mit unserem Bachelor-Forschungsseminar verzahnt ist. In der ersten Sitzung geht es darum, zu definieren, was gute Wissenschaft auszeichnet, und woran man schlechte erkennt. → <🧵>

I love when people who make forms don't take into account other than "standard" names etc... Had to fill in a form for a conference verifying that my PhD student should get the student discount. Neither her nor my name fit in the form:

Argentina’s strategy throughout the World Cup seems to have been “pass it to Messi and hope for a miracle”.

“Football reminds us of what we all have in common” uh, that we hate fifa?

Went bouldering today and it was too hot and too humid and the skin on my hands was really suffering. Also, I’m really bad at a) coordination moves, and b) slopers, so this took way too many tries.

I hadn’t heard this before, but from what I’ve read about Zwicky it seems perfectly in character.
