A nine panel comic strip following two figures as they traverse a barren and desolate landscape - their journey takes them through ruins and abandoned structures of a former civilisation - we realise that this was once our world and the destruction is the result of a massive global war - we also learn that these ruins and wastelands are the home and country of the victors in the war! The strip is titled Deadsun.

My paper, 'Women between languages in early modern London', listened for the voices of multilingual women in the homes, schoolrooms, and streets of early modern London, asking how we can reconstruct women's language histories from rich surviving records of urban authorities and migrant communities.
Big week last week, with a trip to Hamburg for this workshop on women's language histories. Fantastic new research on multilingual women: a 13th-century prayer-book that switches between Latin & Low German, women in the laws of medieval cities, women as teachers and authors of textbooks...

When an illegal war, likely to cause mass murder, is launched, we have a choice of 2 positions:
1. It's wrong and has to stop.
2. Hurray! Let's join in.
Much of the UK Establishment - Conservatives, Reform, the billionaire media - went straight for Option 2.
Which tells you all you need to know.
My undergraduate philosophy dissertation was partially about how thought experiments don't produce anything meaningfully significant and how Anglo-American philosophy's focus on them has been a waste of time.
Tweet by Jatin @jatinkmalik The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible
WALLACE: Why are we at war with Iran?
CHRIS MURPHY: Great question. The simplest explanation might be the one they gave 24 hours in that they've kind of tried to backtrack from since -- that Israel made us do it.

Sad news today. I just spoke to George, Lee Martindaleβs husband - @lee-martindale.bsky.social left us today after a brief illness. I had stories in both of her anthologies and we hung out at bunch of different events over the years. I will miss her sorely. RIP, Legend. harphaven.net/home/about-l...

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadnβt already happened
I mean we're doing well enough that I got an ARC and swag but it's important we do BETTER so that KB has to put goats in her immaculately landscaped yard and then watch in horror as her dogs eat goat poop.

Four days into the conflict, US Central Command reported striking 2,000 targets with more than 2,000 munitions, with the first two days of bombing alone costing $5.6 billion.

Many carers quit jobs to take up a caring role and that's the end of super. I realise you lot see caring as a personal obligation while your budget directly benefits from unpaid carers work. And disregarding our votes as not worth the bother to fund us properly speaks volumes about Labor. #auspol
