The Man in Seat 61@seatsixtyone.bsky.social · 2w ago

I guess it’s time for an adventure - Interrail pass activated! It covered my train from Tring into London and it’ll cover my Eurostar to Brussels with a €35 passholder fare (€40 in 1st class). It’ll then cover my European Sleeper Brussels to Milan with a berth reservation fee.

An Oxford classics graduate has won cross-party endorsements in the upcoming Clacton by-election. Count Binface, who studied at Corpus Christi, was described as “maybe the people[’s candidate]” by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, while defence secretary Dan Jarvis said “good luck to him”.

Grass pollen season will soon be upon us. The upcoming very warm and sunny period will lead to a rapid rise in pollen counts in southern areas later this week 📈 Most hay fever suffers are allergic to grass pollen, so you may find yourself sneezing over the coming days 🤧

A table showing expected pollen levels over the next 3 days: Thursday 21st May: Low for all. Friday 22nd May: Low for Edinburgh and Belfast, moderate for Welshpool and Exeter, high for London. Saturday 23rd May: Low for Edinburgh and Belfast, moderate for Welshpool and high for Exeter and London.An image showing the seasonal calendar for different types of pollen, ranging from tree pollen in the spring and summer months, to grass pollen from May to September and weed pollen too.
Auschwitz Memorial@auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

@bathecho.bsky.social with everything going on in the world I think some people would enjoy this story, and I want Trek Bath to get as much credit as is humanly possible for being utterly amazing people.

TREK BATH IS THE BEST BIKE SHOP IN THE WORLD. Claire recognised my bike on the way in to work and said “that’s not meant to be there” and TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP!! They called me and refused any sort of finders fee. I do not deserve people like this.

i have compiled a list of free image resources inspired by our conversation about this last week. livelaugh.blog/posts/non-ai...

you do not have to use generative ai "art" in your blogs because there are websites where you can get real, nice images for free

you get what you give when it comes to the content you put out, why would you do all the hard work to write your beautiful words and then throw them under the generative ai image bus. it's so sad to witness from even just a creative standpoint!

💯 “With global heating effects already upon us. Bristol needs to get on the front foot and ensure the city is future-proofed to cope with the visibly changing climate that has real potential to endanger residents if adaptation is not given the resource it requires.”

So,as a little thought-experiment, tell me something about the United Kingdom that works well and is actually quite impressive. I am not trying to sound like some boosterish politician. I just genuinely believe that making people believe that all is lost is a convenient pretext for shady characters.

I've updated the list of potential future books for the Software Internals Book Club since I noticed my outdated list has sometimes been used as a reference by other book clubs.
