I’m not sure who made this t-shirt but I think I need to have it.
Edit: It would seem to be @heydon (https://webbed-briefs.teemill.com/product/you-would-not/)
And here is a listing of sky events in the *Southern* hemisphere in 2025: https://astroblogger.blogspot.com/2025/01/coming-events-year-of-southern.html
What the article doesn't mention is that #MichaelJFox and his foundation have raised over $2B for #Parkinson's research, MORE than ALL government investment in a cure.

The carbon in your body formed through fusion in the hearts of stars and was then thrown out into the cosmos to seed stellar nebulae with the elements for life. Now, researchers are discovering just how long a journey that carbon has gone on, possibly circling the galaxy a few times before returning to our spot in the cosmos. They tracked giant conveyor belts that surround galaxies, pushing material out into space and then drawing it back into the galactic interior.

Today is the day. Welcome to THE charger!
USB-C is officially the common standard for charging electronic devices in the EU.
This means:
🔌The same charger for all new phones, tablets and cameras
⚡ Harmonised fast-charging technology
🔄 Reduced e-waste
🛑 No more “Sorry, I don’t have the right cable”
One charger to rule them all.
What I’m taking from this is that software engineers spend most of our time on engineering software, and writing code is (as expected) a relatively small portion of that work.
Imagine this for other engineering disciplines. “Wow structural engineers seem to spend most of their time on meetings and CAD and relatively little time physically building bridges with their hands! This is something AI can and should fix. I am very smart”

The logic of IP law is simple: 'It may be utter nonsense, but if it meets the relevant legal criteria, it's your nonsense and yours alone to commercially cherish'.
