#AmazingWorld
In Alaska, nature sculpted this lone tree into a frozen wave at sunrise.
Relentless wind, drifting snow, and rime ice stacked layer by layer until the branches looked like feathers made of frost.
That soft golden glow is the sun catching every icy strand, turning the whole scene into a winter sculpture for a few brief moments.
Bent by the storm, but still standing. Still reaching.

Dick Van Dyke recently turned 100 years old and is no longer permitted to play with LEGOs.

It's wild to watch a live performance of the Martin Niemöller poem unfold.

"First they came for the trans people, and I did not speak out because I was not a trans person".

If you're American and not speaking out, you need to read the final verse again.

Oh you work in cyber? How interesting. Let's compare gloves.

Life Hacks, 2025 edition:

-If Peter Thiel's involved, avoid it
-If it’s “opt-in,” It'll be mandatory
-If AI is involved, it’s profiling you
-If Big Tech says it's for safety, it's not
-If it demands a facial scan, walk away
-If it’s “for your safety,” it’s for their control

What does everyone think? Need feedback before release tomorrow :)

"What could this be?" [shake, shake]

"Maybe a gift card?" It could go either way, really...

This dragged in for twelve, fifteen minutes

TBH, by this time I was feeling pretty poorly—too many people, too much noise, my stomach had been sick all day

Finally, the person opened the box

And was bewildered—"what... what is this? Axolotls? Pole dancing‽"

It was the best/worst gift of the day, and it was raucous in the room

Y'all, no one—no one—would fess up to bringing it in!

A mouse pad (see below) and several coasters featuring this lovely axolotl, pole dancing 😂

Last night on stage , I announced my resignation from the Infinite Monkey Cage - here is my statement #science #radio #bbc

TIL car tyre sizes (eg, 225/55R17) manage to combine metric (225mm width), a percentage for an aspect ratio (55%), and imperial (17 inch diameter). I think that’s just marvellous. Well done everyone.

Someone just ordered 6 copies of DOCTYPE 🎉
(every order genuinely makes a difference in terms of what I can afford to do on the site next year)

HTML is for life, not just for Christmas. This year, give the gift of Open Web.
