What’s your favourite scent/scent note? (Either scent to work with if you make perfumes, or just something you personally enjoy for your own use)
On paper, the Equality Act 2010 is great in a bunch of ways. In practice, it’s exceedingly difficult for the average person to pursue justice through it. I imagine the barrier is similar to how it works in the US, except the UK has way less of a litigation culture.
I need to add that to my quotes book, it’s great
I thought the same. What kind of music do you reckon they’d play?
No need to apologise — the world is grim, we’re all burnt out and having each other’s backs is how we survive, especially when it comes to the little things like this. Teamwork makes the dream work.

I can’t help but wonder whether some people are aiming to scapegoat her. Like, this is a huge trial, with many defendants (I’m unsure whether anyone else besides her was sentenced to death at the first trial), but maybe pinning more stuff on her will make others (who may be more culpable for some of the charges than she is) less likely to get the death penalty.
“helping” seems like an odd word to use for “threatened at gunpoint”.
I think I saw a paper on this kind of thing over a year ago. Iirc, it said that engagement is lower on Mastodon, but higher quality.
I agree. Whenever I get into an argument online, it’s usually with the understanding that it exists for the benefit of the people who may spectate the argument — I’m rarely aiming to change the mind of the person I’m conversing with. Especially when it’s not even a discussion, but a more straightforward calling someone out for something, that’s for the benefit of other people in the comments, because some sentiments cannot go unchanged.
To be fair, the way the Krebs cycle is taught is usually pretty grim (speaking as a biochemistry major)
I don’t understand this, but it sounds cool.
Perhaps another way to think of it is that we’re a patch of localised order in an overall disordered universe
That’s good advice, and I’m glad she took it.
This reminds me of this quote by Alfréd Rényi (often misattributed to his friend, Paul Erdős)
“A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems”
That’s so pretty. What did you use to take the super zoomed in photo?
I live near a city and it makes me want to study enough botany to identify the various plants that spring forth in unexpected places. Some of them are quite beautiful and I find myself moved by their improbability.
As we saw with the COVID pandemic, even in “1st world countries”, poorer people were disproportionately affected. Fewer humans won’t help when the majority of harm to the Earth is perpetuated by a small fraction who would be disproportionately represented in a world where the majority of people died.
I sympathise with your sentiment, because it often does feel like humans are the problem, but the reality is that we’re not. Although it can feel weirdly comforting to think of humans as inherently and innately destructive, thinking this way is a pipeline to eco-fascism, which doesn’t offer productive ways forward.
You’ve bamboozled my attempt to make the same joke at your expense by only mentioning one number in your comment, giving me nothing to add to it. From this point on, I conclude we should only ever mention one number in each comment, for clarity.
Oh wow, I didn’t know that
