There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

Now this is the kind of news I want in my feed. Vote people into power support and fund scientific research, so we'll get more of this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Ik was een beetje nerveus toen ik las dat De Man met de Toverlantaarn in de Efteling gemaakt is met behulp van AI voor een aantal van de beelden, maar ik geef @timhinssen.bsky.social in @kleineboodschap.com helemaal gelijk, wat een prachtige show!

People endlessly argue over what biannual and biweekly mean, and honestly, I think we should just erase these words from the English language. Just say "twice a week/year" or "every two weeks/years" and be done with it.

If Google ever releases Chrome version 182, and therefore also Blink 182, it should be a bugfix release, nicknamed "All the small things".

Just discovered that instead of searching for a place in Google maps, then clicking directions, picking my origin, picking walking, I can just type "walking directions from ABC to XYZ" into the search bar. Feels so much quicker!

Googling for anything WCAG (accessibility guidelines) related is annoying AF. I just want to know what changed between certain versions of the spec, and all I'm getting are sites trying to sell me their accessibility checkers.

Hot take: I think parameter labels in programming languages are underrated. It's where you include the name of the parameters when calling a function. (keyword arguments in Python parlance)

My mom and I went to Phantasialand last weekend to celebrate my mom's bday. Apart from the fact that they really are in need of a better policy for disabled guests, we had a fantastic time!

~3 years ago, as part of a trip with the American Coaster Enthousiasts, I had the pleasure of getting a backstage tour of Rutschebanen at Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen. We got to climb the lift hill, and then go inside the garage where they store and work on the trains. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN0w...

Zeg @vvdonline.bsky.social, hoe gaat het eigenlijk met de jeugdzorg in Nederland? Alles lekker daar?
Of was het toch belangrijker om de rijkste Nederlanders 8% rijker te maken dan om te investeren in toekomstige generaties?

Paulton's Park is building a new viking-themed area, and I love all the progress updates they're sharing. I'd love to take a little trip to the UK either next year or in '27, also to catch Gold Rush at Drayton Manor, which I missed by a month last year.

Just had to log back into twitter because a company wouldn't let me contact them unless I was logged in, logging in required an app, and their app was erroring out. I love technology.
