Yup, from experience @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social super-talented, highly skilled ppl with **affection for / loyalty to uk** are help, not hindrance.
Thanks for highlighting this.
It’s folks selling the shovels that make the money.. not the ones sifting in hope.. there’s actual gold in interesting speculation if you’re the right person :)
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
Pretty nice city for a pretty nice conference (jubilee).
Beautiful - motorbikes decreasing congestion (versus cars) :)
Lovely "That'll Do" energy.
Great!
🙄 fcol. There are *actual* gigantic problems, gigantic questions. Please, please, stop faffing.
Finding key information shared at council meetings takes time and effort. Today, we've launched a tool that allows you to search verbatim quotes from council meetings in the UK and Ireland, without the need to watch long recordings or sift through extensive notes. council-search.bellingcat.com

Sounds interesting! Perhaps one day we’ll have an inkling as to how to index phenom consc in humans.. I doubt it, but we can hope :)

I finally have pair of 😎 and fully expect to occasionally have eyes open on photos..
Get better coffee elsewhere and save your soul :D
Seems to force candidates to accept some control by extreme wealth and sometimes a foreign interest or two… idk why electorates accept it..
Great. Bit awkward for the staff, but otherwise +ve...
New paper! Remember this: www.nature.com/articles/s41... showing massive nerve growth following zolmitriptan application in frog model? Well, now here it is in mammals! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... "Sustained Serotonergic Stimulation Platform for Peripheral Axonal Regeneration"

Wish they'd stop 'throwing the book at' - left or far right, suspect highly counterproductive
idk, but they usually involved Stuart Anstis if mem serves :D
Unpalatable, but def not absurd, imo. Hope you reverse Greens v Reform showing in polls - that would change each voter's choice.
"There's an obvious solution to problems with which everyone else is struggling" Reader, there never is.
They said the same thing about Cambridge's 50s/60s prizewinning "crimes-in-concrete" but this looks ok.
Fifteen years in prison seems too much, 14 and half? :)
I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.
@cuh.nhs.uk #Addenbrookes Hospital #Cambridge amazing, again! ❤️ Thank you to hero docs and nurses :)
Nor a free press.
Perhaps they have so little to lose that the temporary notoriety outweighs the criminal record. Surprised there is so little across-the-divide work in evidence… During the previous riots, an Imam used beef burgers.. a similar effort might help here..
The Catholic Church in Rome has been insisting on calling attention to the suffering in Gaza, even if you don't hear much about it stateside. Seven hours of names: 16 Israeli children and 12,211 Palestinian children.

Hey friends - the kiddo has a #horror short story draft that she's hoping to get some beta readers for. If you think you'd have a minute to read a Midwestern Gothic story and give some feedback, shoot me a DM.
Someone in @teamlabouruk.bsky.social comms knows what they’re doing :) As the 3rd party of UK politics Conservs can eat into Reform vote, tho, so strategy treads a tightrope I guess!
Great cause, but think makes strong case for 🏴nationalism (fair enough) but *no case* for the lynx! (great pity)
Agree parts of our press are a principal problem. Left and right shout equally loudly each others’ tweets shd mean life in jail.. Think our fetish for long jail terms and our full-jails crisis may be connected.
🚨 New preprint: Invisible neural frequency tagging (RIFT) for the underfunded researcher: 👉 www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... RIFT uses high-frequency flicker to probe attention in M/EEG with minimal stimulus visibility and little distraction. Until now, it required a costly high-speed projector.

Good. We might need someone who gets on with Vance in 3.5 years.
Nope!
Chinese officials have showcased what they claim will be the world’s largest solar farm, equivalent in size to Chicago, as new data show China emissions falling.
90s were great, but we’re overdue a move to noughties nostalgia.

Have seen some 'x.com' style responses to this, completely lacking in empathy. Let's not call anyone 'Napoleon' again.

Would def read. With due sense of 😬 hoping we haven't committed those gaffes in forthcoming manuscript :D

Here’s a link to my Psychopy tip-sheet. Most of it, I admit, is common sense, but sometimes for me common sense is in too short supply. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/vmn8n...
The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
Sure it must be dangerous; cars’ too.

I don't think it's wacky but not really sure I think it's coherent... If it's a way of making dualism respectable, I'd rather just go with the straight-talkin' unrespectable version a la D. Chalmers :)
Happy publication day to Tony King @exeter.ac.uk for his @princetonupress.bsky.social book AI, Automation and War. W/ praise from Hew Strachan, @pdwilliamsgwu.bsky.social, Sarah Kreps & Jack Watling, a must read on the real role of AI in war (spoiler: no killer robot armies!) tinyurl.com/mtnrvvt3

Beautiful!
Hahaha, I love this photo of a snake nerd researcher from the Phoenix Herpetological Society using a fake leg to step on rattlesnakes & see how likely they are to bite. He "stepped" on 175 of them, and was bitten by only SIX. Snakes desperately want to just get away! 🐍🧪 www.npr.org/2024/05/17/1...
I read this the wrong way: ‘I am made of 100% recycled pet’

Perhaps we can rule out anything easy to mime.. 'Assistance?'
No Vance input, no problem?
It was a great pleasure to write this for NHB. Thank you for the opportunity! #neuroscience #consciousness #psychscisky
Sounds fishy, is apparently legit
More like it! 👏
Perhaps so! Tho not stupid, maybe.. just too busy to keep eye on govt failures + successes from years back.. and (prob) expect too much from govt... given most ppl I meet don't want to pay more tax or don't trust govt with it... economists seem unkeen on more tax, too..
"We have reworked the Discussion from scratch to conform to the Editor's and Reviewer's most perfect views. May their names resonate forever throughout the ages, and those with whom they have minor disagreements, be cast forever into lower impact journals."
Sigh. No one means that.
I didn't say I agreed with that. I meant unpopular cuts or tax-rise decisions.
Income tax would need to rise; how popular would that be, do you think?
No, I did not mean any policy was right or wrong. I meant that the electorate expect decent public services, but don't seem to want to pay for them. and that, as we found with the 2019 election, they always seem to forget failures of Cons govts by the time of the next GE
Important to get unpopular stuff done early… politicians all know electorate has goldfish memory, toddler’s maturity
