So before he retired, the commentary crew were all about "Caleb is a chance for this stage" even when clearly not at his prime. Now we get to hear his war stories rather than commentary on the race. Sigh... #sbstdf #tdf2025 #couchpeloton

The good news is that Le Tour has begun and it is on SBS. The bad news is that it's three weeks of the commentary team. Still miss Robbie. #sbstdf #tdf2025 #couchpeloton

A supergiant deep-sea crustacean may be far more common than we thought. The species, Alicella gigantea, is rarely encountered, but could in theory live across 59 per cent of the sea floor.

BBC: stop suppressing Gaza documentaries
The BBC is suppressing a documentary about the plight of doctors in Gaza, saying the delay is linked to an internal review of a different film by a different producer. It makes no sense. The UK gover

I don't think it's an understatement to say there's going to be entire cohorts of junior academics, coders, copywriters, "artists" etc who are functionally illiterate in their own discipline and this will become *very* apparent when anyone takes a second glance at their work
“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”

Pope Francis was a visionary leader who dedicated his life to service and justice. He encouraged us to protect our planet, championed a more inclusive church, and cared for all of God’s children — especially the most vulnerable among us.

Rest in peace, Francis — you were a great degrowth socialist and a great heart.
![193. In any event, if in some cases sustainable development were to involve new forms of growth, then in other cases, given the insatiable and irresponsible growth produced over many decades, we need also to think of containing growth by setting some reasonable limits and even retracing our steps before it is too late. We know how unsustainable is the behaviour of those who constantly consume and destroy, while others are not yet able to live in a way worthy of their human dignity. That is why the time has come to accept decreased growth in some parts of the world, in order to provide resources for other places to experience healthy growth. Benedict XVI has said that "technologically advanced societies must be prepared to encourage more sober lifestyles, while reducing their energy consumption and improving its efficiency".[135]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xalxqffcayyidntafmptzhta/bafkreiby4ndybictidnpg76tui7wrmmjdgw6rcgfjhzxwx3xc4biis52ty@jpeg)
