Thys doth deserve to be reposted and sharid widelye!
Jennifer KretchmerWhile we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.
Meta desperately trying to stop arseholes from using smart glasses for their only possible intended use.
HypervisibleFWIW, Meta was fully aware of how these glasses would primarily be used. The glasses were designed to erase consent, and that is why they exist. Anything that they do that suggests they want to ameliorate this use is an attempt to win the PR battle and manipulate public opinion.
Really hoping this is Eurosausage bollocks that they’ve already decided to fix before they announced it was fucked.
Chris LintottShort-sighted, stupid cuts to the UKRI budget include shutting down Jodrell Bank, the icon of British astronomy. (Many other cuts too, including 20% to our brand new @vrubinobs.bsky.social). Interesting politically to shut down a major facility in...um..Manchester 🔭 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Absolute fucking vandalism.
Astronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine HeymansI'm absolutely devastated for colleagues at Jodrell Bank who found out this morning that funding for the UK's e-MERLIN radio telescope array will be terminated. This is a short-sighted move, to save a tiny fraction of the overall UK science budget. #SaveJodrellBank 🔭🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Absolutely devastated to hear that the SFTC cuts mean that funding for astronomical research at Jodrell Bank has been stopped. The changes to UKRI funding and especially SFTC are really harming UK science

This seems to amount to saving funding for research by cutting it for the instruments and facilities that provide the necessary data.
