Much as I ❤️ the idea, it grieves me to say we need to add realism. It’s not enough to say “rejoin & keep the £ as b4” because you need to convince 🇪🇺 that rejoin is in their interests as is £. And they’re done with 🇬🇧’s disruptive 💩.

I’ve visited Annecy & Strasbourg where Schengen+€ are genuinely the work of GENIUS. Folk just commute across borders every day. 🇪🇺4 Freedoms gloriously lived every day. Rejoiners need to start selling this in 🇬🇧 & not expect exceptional treatment from 🇪🇺

Is this because I told them where they could stick their unsolicited emails?

Very nice blog post by my grad student Ruby Pearce-Casey (who's done excellent @ec_euclid@mastodon.social work on finding strong gravitational lenses), from her #DISCnet industry placement with #KeenAI https://keen-ai.com/blog/anticipating-geomagnetic-storms-reflections-at-the-halfway-point-part-2/ #astrodon

Ten Hours of Boing Sound Effects used to be my go-to YouTube background soundtrack for coding, but I can't find it any more, so I use this instead #astrodon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6wLcx7AkRM
