I much prefer being around people who try to improve things, even if they ultimately aren't successful, rather than folks who assume nothing will ever change.

I have emailed them that I don't appreciate them adding extra workload on people and then use it for AI training/validation, and have asked them to stop. I have unsubscribed and added them as spammer.
Hilarious:
Is there a participation fee?
"No, there is no cost to you".
My time is valuable.

I received this email too, and promptly ignored it. If it looks like spam, and smells like spam…..
If it’s legit, they have gone about it very badly.

Wow. This is cool!
There’s a statue in Parliament that’s been deliberately left damaged for over a century.
The reason why takes us back to one of the most important protests in British history.
Let me show you one of Parliament’s hidden stories.

I'm gonna need to see the actual CFD simulations, here. The Olympics are so unserious.
I’m an old(ish) man, and I’ve seen a decent amount of weird stuff.

New backronym just dropped. WADA = World Anti Dick Augmentation.

When people use the word *quantum* in a sentence like, “we need to work out the quantum of effort to solve this problem”, do they simply mean *amount*?

“Hyaluronic acid…can be used to increase penis circumference by one or two centimetres.
This would increase the surface area of their suits during competition, which, according to FIS, the international ski and snowboard federation, could increase their flight in the air.”

After four months, the journal has not found a single reviewer for my PhD student's manuscript. The academic peer review system is broken.
I think we all should:
1. Review three papers for every one that we submit.
2. Promptly declined to review a paper when the request arrives.

British exceptionalism rides again. Core human values yes, that sometimes exist on this island as they can do elsewhere. We don’t, nor ever have had, a monopoly on any of these. And the more you look at our history the harder it is to be that impressed by what is mainly myth.

Keir Starmer attacks the racism of Reform and Matt Goodwin but then adds that "Britain has also been let down by a mindset on the left of politics that is too slow to defend core British values"
