Airport transfer driver gave me a spiel about how doctors are scaremongering about skin cancer and using sun cream, and I should just put high quality olive oil on my skin instead(!!!!) “Don’t put anything on your body that you wouldn’t also eat” can I ask Dermangelo about this

Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

BP profits more than double to $5.7bn in three months as Iran war sends oil prices soaring - "While BP banks enormous profits, millions of households are paying the price" #energycrisis #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/business/202...

This has been a holiday of incredibly strange choices of song to make into bossanova/easy listening. I just heard a slow guitar version of Justin Beiber’s ‘Peaches’

There’s a little bit of melancholy but it’s getting better. Also I had a massage this morning and whatever she did made my body better able to tolerate heat????? Amazing

This holiday was for relaxing but I have realised I do not know how to chill. Got into the pool earlier and could have just zoned out but instead my dumb brain was like “you should do lengths”. Of this tiny ass pool. And I did! And then I walked and sweated for hours again!

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

An aircraft passenger oxygen mask: a drop down passenger mask with air bag and yellow plastic mouth and nose cover, oxygen tube has been cut; Demonstration model used by flight attendant crew for passenger instruction. Has text on the side indicating that it's non-functional.

Feeling kinda weird about myself and everything this morning, only for the universe to put my ex at the supermarket right when I was there too 🙃 can I have a break please

Devastating hit to STEM spaces and resources in the North West. Jodrell Bank is a public museum, events venue, scientific UNESCO heritage site. Devastating loss to scientific communication in vulnerable region of the country.

Short-sighted, stupid cuts to the UKRI budget include shutting down Jodrell Bank, the icon of British astronomy. (Many other cuts too, including 20% to our brand new @vrubinobs.bsky.social). Interesting politically to shut down a major facility in...um..Manchester 🔭 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If only the lads had been in a position where they could’ve resisted the most intense all-channels McCarthyist crackdowns of my lifetime, or at very least said “Uh lads, are be absolutely sure that telling the public that the antiracist, anti-austerity movements are Nazis is smart and good”.

UK journalists ‘self-censoring stories about Trump and the right over safety fears’

Government-backed investigation finds risks are normalised amid ‘a narrowing of the public conversation’

Just a reminder, Johnny Depp lost in court about being a domestic spouse abuser...he won in court that his abused ex-wife can't talk about it.
