Comic. [Person with shoulder-length hair talking to a second person. She is gesturing at a dinosaur skeleton with a machine mounted on its back.] PERSON 1: Although Bazookasaurus’s distinctive structure was long assumed to be a weapon, vascularization studies show that it was very fragile and could only have been used for display.

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

I will probably go back to Instagram at some point. I do use it a lot to keep in touch with a lot of people. There's just no need for them to have 15 years of data.

Looks like you need to send a request for each account individually. I had never linked WhatsApp and Instagram anyway.

Very - plus the data export is pretty decent too

Meta Plans to Add Facial Recognition Technology to Its Smart Glasses

I think if Meta released a facial recognition model, and it can recognise me, I'd see that as pretty strong evidence the request hadn't been honored and it should be reported to the ICO .... as an example www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Well if they didn't actually delete it, that would be illegal.

kinda tempted to delete my meta accounts and do a GDPR data deletion request. They've got decades of data on me...

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just

If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.
