I've even read that male pigeons produce this milk to persuade females to mate, since they'll be able to feed them while they're incubating their two eggs.


Josh Turner and Dodie's cover of Turn to Stone is charming. The overall video is interesting because they are expressing concerns and disappointments over where we have gone with the Internet. Their poke into the human dimension has moments of real insight.

Why use Big Tech "drives" at all? Big Tech can't be trusted with your data.

An editor from a Springer Nature journal, a company that posted $2.1 billion in revenue in 2022 [1], from an industry with double-digit percent profits (~30% [2]), kindly asked me, an academic in the UK where salaries continue to plummet [3], whether I would be pleased to review a paper for them, for free ... so I kindly asked whether they would consider paying me. It is only logical.

[3] In UK academia, "Pay has fallen significantly in real terms since 2009, as have pension contributions, and redundancies are rife. Short-term contracts and precarious work arrangements are common, especially for younger staff, as universities struggle to balance their books." telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01/2โ€ฆ

Good news! The final ENTSO-E report into the Spain blackout is out A complex stew of different factors, but "too much solar" is simply not even among them, let alone a major component. As always: the narrative built by fossil/nuke advocates was wrong www.entsoe.eu/news/2026/03...
in reply to Ketan Joshi

What is going to happen now is that a bunch of journalists are going to Ctrl + F "solar", screenshot what they find, and without understanding what they're looking at present it under a headline that'll look something like FINAL REPORT SHOWS SOLAR WAS TO BLAME FOR DEADLY BLACKOUT APOCALYPSE
in reply to Ketan Joshi

The big talking point that emerged DURING the blackout, led in particular by Bloomberg's Javier Blas, was that over-reliance on solar resulted in low 'system inertia' (the heartbeat of the grid). Others, such as a prominent Norwegian nuke advocate, helped spread it. it was COMPLETELY WRONG

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

> "[...]but I want to reassure OpenTTD fans that we have not been โ€œpressuredโ€ by Atari to make these changes."

This seems a bit weird. Are we to believe that the OpenTTD devs just happily chose to put someone else's paywall on the game?

Like, I can imagine why this might be considered a fair an reasonable outcome, but obviously it is not a win for OpenTTD. Its a decision that surely must be the result of implicit pressure. Right?
