Kwasi Kwarteng, the UK business secretary, has opened a new front in Britain’s culture wars by blocking the appointment of a leading academic to run a £200mn economic research body because he was supposedly too leftwing. An ally of Kwarteng said the business secretary was concerned the academic had been a member of the Communist Party in the past.

Original sin right there, what a joke country.

Worth noting the ESRC is a tiny part of the UK research budget; with STFC being comprehensively gutted (also to note STFC operates much of the big-iron experimental labs with fixed costs, so that drop is amplified in it’s effect on workers and project starts)

Please. This is vitally important. I need you to picture yourself and five to ten other transfems that you know and love. I need you to hold the image of you all in your head. Now, I need you to imagine all of you in a steaming cedar barrel hot tub on a cold winters night, deep in the woods. I need you to hear the crackling of the fire in the wood-fired water heater. I need you to smell the thick perfume of steamed cedar wood. I need you to feel the snowflakes melt atop your shoulders. I need you to taste your friends tongue in your mouth, feel all your loved ones hands wandering over your body, over each other, snaking beneath the warm water and up, out, into the thick steam that rises above. I need you to imagine the feeling of them sliding inside you, of you inside them, of groping, of head, of tongues and mouths and breasts in that dark, barely moonlit night, lightened only by the thin seepings of orange glow pouring out around the burner, and the dim yellow flickers of the candles placed nearby. I need you to feel the chill of the frosty winter air each time some part of you rises from the water, and the soothing warmth as you return beneath it. It is of the utmost importance that you imagine yourself and your transfem sisters enjoying a sensual, cozy, debaucherous orgy in a cedar barrel hot tub in the woods on a snowy winter night.

Mini Cheetah Clone Teardown

Not long after my masters thesis went online, clones of the mini cheetah actuators started showing up on AliExpress/Alibaba.  Within another

I don’t really have a point, other than this wheeled robot took 45min to bring me pizza and beer 1km because it can’t step off a kerb. It waits for orders where the cops hang out near the store

the year is 2045. municipal killbots roam the streets. they're all basically bomb disposal robots with explosives strapped on them, same as they are now. people have developed ancient aliens tartaria type conspiracy theories about the boston dynamics dogbots. like,

"look how advanced these things were, do you really believe these people could do things like that when right now we only have these mini tanks that look like they could have been made 100 years ago"

I want to show you that that Internet you used to go exploring is still very much there. There are still tons of small personal websites, and a wealth of long form text from both the past and the present.  So it's a search engine. It's perhaps not the greatest at finding what you already knew was there, instead it is designed to help you find some things you didn't even know you were looking for.
