Does what we owe to someone depend on whether we agree with them? https://t.co/FFnVhqUkIH

@disco___cat Wtf

[Gary Marcus @GaryMarcus]

excellent news on skin cancer, and perhaps for cancer in general.

mRNA vaccines are turning out to be some of the best things humans have invented; crazy how politics led many people to freak out about them.

@m1spike Have read it! Agree she is a psychopath.

I don't have a strong view on whether Holmes should be in prison or not. But I think its fascinating how our culture(s) oscillate between the social norms of gender equality & the social norms of chivalry. This argument is an example of the latter https://t.co/DptrP3enlX

Elizabeth Holmes’s crimes were egregious. But far fewer women, with or without children, should be incarcerated at all, writes Tyler Cowen. https://t.co/OpgwBVg6Wa

Prison or Peer Review?

It is a disgrace that @nathancofnas may face jail in Belgium. @Rosalind_Arden_'s latest for @Quillette

Australia is at a crossroads. We can either drift into a divided society with stagnant real incomes or make the difficult decisions needed to lift productivity and restore growth.

The ALP can't even see the issue, let alone fix it.

Vote them out in 2028.

A common sign that you are in an insane millenarian death cult is that you axiomatically convinced that the Apocalypse will happen within a few months, you are constantly on the lookout for signs that it may have started, you feel both fearful and *excited* about it, and you're constantly talking about it with your friends, who happen to *all* have the exact same set of beliefs.

Loved this chat with @clairlemon

This in @Quillette is excellent on France in 2026

"French schools are no more “underfunded” than Dutch, German, Austrian or British ones, and spending per pupil has actually increased slightly in real terms over the past ten years." ~ @K_Niemietz

Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

France’s protesters are rioting against austerity that doesn’t exist. Macron might as well give them the real thing, writes @K_Niemietz.

@Noahpinion Don't cause a bank run pls

[Dr S Maitra @MrMaitra]

**How it affects you.**

You do not run PHP. The websites you use do. Big names will fix it tonight. The risk is the small, forgotten places: the local business site, the old forum, the little clinic portal nobody has updated in years.

@s8mb Congrats Sam!

@zoecabina What a creep

[Claire Lehmann @clairlemon]

The two prettiest girls in my class now have multiple grown up daughters who are even more stunning (& the mums still look great). Love how nature finds a way to bring more beauty into the world.

Log onto Facebook to see that friends from university have just had their first baby, while friends from high-school have 18 year olds who have finished school.

[Claire Lehmann @clairlemon]

@moorenz80 Yeah but they certainly are not happier.
