In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

I have not been well recently and this wee man has been extra snuggly. We adopted him at Xmas and he is still very nervous, but since I have been home, he seems to have settled that bit more.

"Witnessing large-scale systems slowly unravel in real time can be profoundly surreal and frightening. The hypernormalization framework offers a way to understand what we’re feeling and why."

How can one feel totally exhausted on a Sunday evening, I thought weekends were for recharging. I have been working on edits all weekend and feel totally shattered now.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Gosh, never thought I would read a statement like this. Very sad times 😞
Given the rapidly evolving political landscape in the United States and reports of individuals encountering difficulties crossing the border, CAUT strongly recommends that academic staff travel to the U.S. only if essential and necessary.

Our cat is an ass - we adopted him on Boxing Day, he still takes the odd swipe at me and has a real sense of entitlement - a lovable ass indeed.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.
Mark Hamill posting rebellious content in a battle against a dictator and his robotic sidekick is the most Star Wars shit ever.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

On Boxing Day we adopted this lovely chap. His former elderly owner has passed away and the cat sanctuary knew I was looking for an older cat and called me. Still a bit shy, and is anxious to noise, but loves my bed. #catlover #AdoptDontShop #Cats

I'm 53 years old but during the last working week before Christmas it still feels like a damn imposition that I have to work and not, for example, cut snowflakes from paper and cover them in glitter, eat mince pies, sing carols in the hall, or put a towel on my head and be a shepherd in the play

If anyone is facing potential redundancy or know someone who is, this thread is very helpful.
Staff directly impacted by the widespread redundancies across UK universities will be going through all kinds of emotions, fears, and practical concerns. Unless you want it, redundancy is a brutal thing. It serves the additional threat to those still with a job - maintaining obedience and silence.

When people accept inequality, they erode trust, deepen divisions, and create systems where fairness is a privilege, not a right. Justice becomes selective, and society pays the price with instability and resentment. Equality isn’t just a principle, it’s the foundation of progress.
