Believe in your work. Stop ending papers with “More research is needed” and start concluding with “No more research on this topic is needed.”
paint me sceptical of this emerging "people are falling in love with AI, its keeping the birthrate down" narrative www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/t...
Tfw you get into bird-watching to shut off from the chaotic world surrounding you a bit, but then the birds start declining 😔
"Birds in the United States are not only declining, but they are declining faster" www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/c...
i mean they would really have to get nothing over the line, out of the four competitions they are still in, for the club not to go, "well this is an improvement" and as much as they specialize in bottling that is exceedingly unlikely.

you can see it in liverpool, beginning of the season slot was complaining in his pressers about "setpiece fc", now they are seven out of last nine goals on setpieces.
even though, admittedly arsenals three setpiece goals into all directions against chelsea were the icing on the cake.
Not my role to be a critic, but maybe god should have added a bit more flour.

Saw "If I had legs I'd kick you" yesterday and it's a good movie with good acting and dealing with important topics, but boy it's way heavier than I expected. Felt like a truck had driven over me when leaving the theatre.
Breaking new grounds in demographic science:
Fresh research from
@mortenkthomsen.bsky.social, @andreatilstra.bsky.social and Jane Greve investigates mortality patterns in the intersex population, a group long absent from population health research.

obviously happy for arsenal, still, something in me is almost sad that the crazy 20 day period with 4 arsenal-city matches that would have been possible if they were on the same side of the bracket and made it to the quarters is not happening.
Well the markets clearly judged that champions league draw to have been very lucky for Arsenal. polymarket.com/event/uefa-c...
I mean i didnt think bodo/glimt could take inter out the way they did. Lots is possible.
could play city 5 times within less than thirty days.
would literally be this. that series of games would be an insane psychological face-off with the clubs and coaches history.
There is a 50% chance they get drawn into the same bracket tonight, so a 35% chance this actually ends up happening.
FA cup quarter draw of the two teams would add Apr.4 to that list and FA semi april 25.
If City and Arsenal end up on the same bracket side and both make it to the quarter finals, these two teams would have an insane faceoff schedule:
March 22: carabao final at Wembley
April 7/8 CL quarter final leg 1 at Etihad
April 11 league at Etihad
April 14/15 CL quarter final leg 2 at Emirates

yea its pretty mindblowing what suddenly becomes available at your fingertips fast.
they had me at eternal life.
Sorry for the very general reaction here, but I don't need to know anything (except maybe how to operate my coffee machine) to start my day.
So, 50% chance we get a bodo/glimt-city redux 😅
Seldom have I known any profound being that had anything to say to this world
I listened to this on my way home yesterday and agree that this is a very smart conversation.
Also, in practical terms the advice on vibecoding, that you should instruct the AI to ask YOU questions on details it wants clarified as it carries out your idea is very good.
One of the musicians I adore most deeply. She was part of the female composers pushing into electronic music in the 70s. I often listen to her long droning pieces while writing and I got to once sit 2 rows behind her at a performance.
Thank you for the music.

Such an important study by @jasminabdelghany.bsky.social
Linking data from 33 sub-Saharan African countries and India it shows that increasing exposure to extreme heat affects sex ratios at birth, as male fetuses appear to be more sensitive to high heat exposure.

Such a good piece today from @jburnmurdoch.ft.com which shows that the declining graduate premium is very much a UK problem rather than a general (or inevevitable) consequence of more people going to uni www.ft.com/content/649d...
