My mom suggested we watch “the Third Onion” (she’s referring to Wake Up Dead Man)

@Fremond_ There's no way that UK motorways will ever be able to move as many people per hour as even mainline railway. We just need to pour more money into rail subsidies and make it cheaper and more efficient (look at success of Elizabeth Line for economic argument)

Hi, I’d like to briefly talk about a teeny tiny, great detail in The Last Jedi. Please indulge me for this pretty nerdy thread:

We all know this moment from the movie. BUT have you ever noticed the extremely subtle visual effect? Go ahead and see if you can find it. [1/9]

This seems to have been ignored - will have a big impact

Opus 4.5 is here and @AnthropicAI hasn't just gone for coding dominance - it's also a frontrunner at agentic tasks like tool use and browser automation 👀

NEW from me: CO2 emissions in China have now been flat or falling for 18 months, the first time that energy demand growth at or above historical averages doesn't drive emissions up, thanks to the clean energy boom. 🧵👇

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

@stalecooper Have had the same at a sold out screening of Memories of Murder as well as people laughing at seriously non comedic moments in One Battle After Another. It's disappointing that some people can't meaningfully engage with art

October is #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth, and with a number of recent cyber attacks having shut down global supply chains and pressured businesses with extortion attempts, it's never been more important to safeguard your organization.

Other key takeaways from this talk: Pichai predicts viable quantum in the next few years, confirms Google Glass will make a comeback now that AI has caught up with hardware

@sundarpichai confirms Google will release Gemini 3.0 in conversation with @Benioff at #dreamforce25

It's beyond clear that Google Cloud is closing any lead left in AI (and potentially pulling comfortably ahead of competition)

I guess "energy abundance" means cancelling one of the largest energy projects in the US during a period of significant load growth.

I'm sure Republicans will assume responsibility for energy price increases in Nevada and nearby states in the years to come.
