Hi @GeoConfirmed, Tnx for your excellent work but why don't you have zoomability on the images cos icons get hidden at the fixed scale? Best wishes.

...but you haven't addressed the greatest pop band of all time ie. The Beatles with possibly Strawberry Fields and Walrus as among the most hamonically interesting. Signed "a Brit". x 2/2

Thanks to @BylineTimes for publishing my historical essay. As @GaryLineker case showed, we need to understand our history to combat racism and hatred today.

@jonbloomfield2 @GaryLineker @HackneyAbbott @DAaronovitch Great article but I think any use of the noun "race" is complicit with the idea that there is any such classification of humans when the term has no scientific basis. science.org/doi/abs/10.112…

We definitely need non-weaponisable, failsafe, 250 year waste storage, small modular molten salt thorium reactors to stop the climate catastrophe. world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Copen…

@Atomicrod He's a complete millionaire nutjob. Doesn't alter the evidence that we need non-weaponisable, failsafe, 250 year waste storage, small modular molten salt thorium reactors to stop the climate catastrophe. world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Copen…

14,945 Americans have been killed by Americans, by gun, since New Year’s Day. That’s 5 months. And 4 x more than US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan were killed in 20 years of war.

@MHPcomics @mcnees We're all still waiting for any experiments demonstrating "morphogenetic resonance". Of course All Souls is an old boys club. Another member is the climate heating denier Matt Ridley. Ridley always describes himself as a scientist but his PhD is on the mating habits of pheasants.

The map shows what ChatGPT considers the most notable thing about each European country. Mostly it got the stereotypes right I feel. As a foodie rather than a dancer I would've said paella for Spain (maybe Real Madrid or FC Barcelona). Source: buff.ly/3N7FtJ5

If you are worried about "AI causing mass unemployment" listen to economists who have studied the impact of technological revolutions on the labor market, like @erikbryn . DO NOT listen to computer scientists who are concerned by the social consequences of their work.

@jonbloomfield2 @mehdirhasan @GoodwinMJ Here's Vivik Chibber's critique of the left in his book 'The Class Matrix' (unfortunately in a Jacobin gig with Zizek). It's just activist anthropology for listening radicals but jolly good. youtube.com/watch?v=rLNSzx…

@jonbloomfield2 @mehdirhasan @GoodwinMJ I've just seen a post on James O'Brian's twitter feed where Godwin proves his ignorant narcissism by spouting second-hand nonsense about genetics - reminiscent of theories of a master race.
