Something, something tables and temples… something about people being indignant…

Saw the balletic ‘Our Town’ last night. What a lovely production, full of heart. @mchshe.bsky.social is as you would imagine brilliant, he anchors the production but does so in a way that creates the space for others.

The last book I read to my son before he got too old for bedtime stories. Didn’t know it at the time.

Sadly Tell us Once isn’t really joined up all the way down. Granting Probate now takes longer than DVLA assume so you now need to explain death is permanent; see also TV license.

Wow! A Red Kite has just flown over my house (SW London) 🪶

Practically, I would anticipate people could jump from PR to digital campaigns and back but I don’t think digital is the same as digital content, nor do I think engagement is the same as campaigns.

I think it depends on how you see digital. Is it part of the museum or is it a means to communicate about the museum?

Director, Product Management UK-Remote

If you’ve worked on how science is communicated and helped design modern digital services at scale, this might be for you.

I’m hiring a Director of Product Management at PLOS to set product strategy, grow our PM practice, and lead a great team.

So I can’t watch Starmer’s speech on BBC News unless I register. Broadcast technology was so much better.

A photograph of large silver spoon. The handle is about as long as a serving spoon, the bowl bit is circular but with the left side cut off so that it is flat on that side. The design means you can easily ladle oil over the egg or lift it out of the frying pan.

Found this spoon amongst mum’s stuff. It’s for fried eggs. It’s brilliant, someone should start making them again!

If AI is taking all the jobs then why hasn’t productivity spiked?

Just stroll in, they do care if they think you have the wrong ticket/ don’t have a ticket. If you look nervous that’s what they assume you’re nervous about.

Very!

I mean chip and frankfurter pizza is popular in Italy 🤷‍♂️

Blimey, that’s quite a variation! Thanks for that, certainly worth experimenting with adjusting my settings

Interesting, perhaps the main issue is the topology of the activation curve tail, which can be safely ignored in MDI but not with pumps? Although I’m sure there is also something about inactive and absorption and delayed activity eg if I have a hyper late at night my BG crashes when I get up.

My insulin needs and sensitivity are also highly dependent on the amount of exercise but it sounds like you have it much worse. That sounds rubbish.

Debunking the AI food delivery hoax that fooled Reddit A “whistleblower” tried to corroborate his viral post with AI-generated evidence. This is how I caught him. PLUS: Grok's image-generation crisis, and the rapture over Claude Opus 4.5

'you should always be at your most suspicious online when someone is baiting you into outrage.
But all of that takes time, effort, and cognitive hygiene'

It seems to me that Insulin has a much longer period of action when you’re sleeping.

This means that if I correct for a hyper before going to bed I can expect hypos late into the night. This is a particular problem on a closed loop because the algorithm doesn’t account of this. #t1d

Opening weekend data looks like 75% of viewers are 25+ with 35-45 yo the largest segment. So perhaps those who watched the first films???

I might go because I’m interested in the VFX; I’ve heard they are extraordinary. But in answer to your specific question, I assume, it’s the same as all the major films of 2025. Youngsters.

Does Hugo not realise that he is now middle management #thetraitors

@netflix.com why are you pushing American football quite so hard to UK audiences, to me? Especially given how you personalise every other feed, and given how little interest I have shown in American sport. It’s not a good look.

After all these years BBC iPlayer still doesn’t know when a programme starts. Why?

When I was on MDI, I used MySugr

That did seem to become weirdly popular

How Google Maps quietly allocates survival across London’s restaurants - and how I built a dashboard to see through it I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.

Extraordinary and fascinating insight into how Google Maps decides whether a restaurant thrives - and what to do instead. By data geek and genius Lauren Leek laurenleek.substack.com/p/how-google...

Horseshit is more careless, an overly confident statement; Bullshit is intended to be more persuasive, the truth is hidden on purpose. This is of course probably bullshit.

Five wild animals I've seen in my house
- Lion
- Flamingo
- Kestrel
- Hyrax
- Marmoset

That and the homogenisation of thought and absence of desire.
