I estimated 380/400k, organisers half a million and the police... 20k, the most egrarious figure I've ever heard. That would mean previous rainy demos were around 5k, which is violently deranged. There's ZERO <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>media</span></a> coverage bar ONE Independent article quoting 20k.

Kevin Beaumont<p>Sigh.

Jax UK<p>I’m a 50 year old woman, but it doesn’t seem that long ago I was a very pretty teen girl becoming aware of the looks from older men.</p><p>Men looked at me until well into my 40’s, until I became invisible to them. I’m so glad I did! This isn’t about that.</p><p>Lately I’ve noticed men looking again. I don’t like it and never wanted it. I noticed because we do. Then I realised, they are not looking at me but my 14 year old daughter beside me. </p><p>I want to gouge out their eyes.</p>
Ken Shirriff<p>How thin is spider silk compared to the wiring on a chip? Here's a close-up of a spiderweb strand diagonally across an Intel 386 processor. The spiderweb is 4 µm thick, just a bit thinner than this 1985 chip's 5 µm metal wiring. Wiring in modern chips is 100 times thinner.</p>
Moritz Negwer<p>The outright wrecking of the scientific infrastructure in the US under the current administration chilled me to my bone. Kept me doomscrolling. But I finally found a way to do something positive, in a small way: I dedicated some storage space and a bit of my internet connection to a decentralized backup of deleted research data. <br>I am happy to report that <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fedihum.org/@SafeguardingResearch" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>SafeguardingResearch</span></a></span> 's torrent swarm now has ca 14 TB storage and a Gbit connection more. <br><a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/sciop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sciop</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/safeguardingresearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>safeguardingresearch</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/academicchatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academicchatter</span></a></p>

myrmepropagandist<p>Someone on tumblr made the comment "silverfish are REAL?" on one of my posts and I didn't think much of it, but then one of my students said the same thing when I showed them a silverfish near one of the vents explaining what they are and why they were there. </p><p>That's when it hit me. </p><p>MINECRAFT</p><p>They think it's a made up creature from minecraft! </p><p>(Totally gonna tell them that endermites and shulkers are real too next time this happens. heh heh heh heh)</p>
